They are already breaking the law. Are they stupid?
Be the change you want to see on the world. Buy a paint pen, wreck those slop posters. 🌈
Waos and bring the heads of the epstein class
I’m not a graffiti artist, but I have blacked out QT codes of ai flyers before. Carry a black paint marker with you.
vandals vandalize everything. are you stupid?
Why aren’t you?
Flock cameras
Doing Graffiti and vandalizing are not the same. There’s risk factor that are not equal but I’m pretty sure that the day that a city will do an AI slop mural on an underpass, the Graffiti Artists will be there
The UK already did, artwork was AI in a huge wall, it was removed after complaints.
Ha yes. Remember that
They do. In fact, it was a meme for a bit (at least in NYC)
I see two types of graffiti in my area, graffiti art and graffiti scribbles. Scribblers will write over anything, but the artists are much more picky about where they paint and avoid going over other art. I haven’t seen any ai flyers. What are they putting up in your area?
Everything. Flyers made BY AI, not for AI. My local hardware chain made an Ai flyer for upcoming holiday closures. My local car dealership made an ad for early holiday deals with an uncanny version of their own car. A church breakfast. A charity event. A play.
Ah, I see what you are saying. I’ll have to keep an eye out for those. I’m in a fair number of entertainment spaces and I feel like those businesses have the least budget for a designer. I used to be my own GIMP guy for years because I couldn’t pay anyone to edit my flyers. I wouldn’t use AI though. Part of the charm of my work was the obvious amateur enthusiasm. :-)
I think most of the people doing it don’t connect themselves with the harms of AI because labor is alienated from the results. If you had to murder Bambi every time you cleared woods for a data center you would actually feel bad about it. But if you just work in the mine that makes the metal that becomes the bullets in his gun, a lot of people don’t think about it hard enough to realize that they are unwillingly still part of the problem.
Anyway, fuck AI. Keep art and human creativity alive!
I’m a little confused - what about that poster looks AI to you. It looks just like every other car rental / sales poster I’ve ever seen.
I.e. vehicles photoshopped onto unnaturally pristine tarmac surrounded by large text.
I admit I don’t know enough about vans to pick up if any of them are off-model, but as it is I’m not seeing any obvious AI tells.
It’s the text you wanna look at - this specific style of angled brush stroke font (and the brush stroke panels they are on top of) is everywhere now because it’s AI generated.
Ah, thanks for that.
I hadn’t noticed it, but looking close I can see that it’s not just a font, the smaller letters are slightly different from the big ones.
They don’t want their art to become appropriated by the AI.
I haven’t seen any around my area, though I’ve seen it advertised on TV
Or just don’t I dunno whatever
