The AI-generated imagery at https://deno.com/blog/cron/cover.png https://deno.com/blog/cron/cover.png is actually painful the longer you look at it. The multiple watch hands might be an artistic effect, but the clock lacks the tenth hour and has two elevenths, the dinosaur's legs make absolutely no sense, and the water reflections show a different pattern on the dinosaur legs and a completely different set of clock hands than what is visible above.
I know that displaying artwork is not the point of the article, but please, at least make it believable when you look at it for more than one second.
- handsaway 3y agoIt's hard to ignore when it takes up my entire screen and I have to scroll to see anything else. AI artwork is popping up everywhere and I don't think it looks as cool as people seem to think. It comes off incredibly tacky.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoPerhaps bad AI art will go down as a tacky nostalgia, the "'under construction' gif" of their time
- dmix 3y agoNo, we'll just wait for it to get better... all of those critiques are solvable by future iterations of AI tooling, at least for generic blogpost headers, where the alternative is usually some other generic stock photo or nothing at all. Rarely is human ever involved in creating it new.
- ketzo 3y agoI mean, it's a hero image above a technical article. What percentage of readers even did look at it for more than one second? I thought it was awesome, even though it was pretty obviously AI-generated for the reasons you stated.
- FragenAntworten 3y agoIt's especially disappointing to see Deno doing this, because in the past they've used endearing art made by an artist, hashrock, which I liked very much.
- rob74 3y agoYeah, this guy (https://w.wallhaven.cc/full/x8/wallhaven-x8r18l.png https://w.wallhaven.cc/full/x8/wallhaven-x8r18l.png) is much cuter...
- rob74 3y agoRight... also, the shadows on the mountains don't make sense if the sun is sitting behind the dinosaur (never mind that the sun is much too big, as you said, artistic effect). But as AI-generated images go, this is actually one of the better ones...
- pseudosavant 3y agoYes, by all means, make sure that the dinosaur wearing a clock around his neck looks believable. I'd hate to see something ridiculous.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoI'll take this bait :) why do dinosaurs that can read and create clocks have two elevens on the clock face (instead of one ten and one eleven)?
