Edit: god I hate neolib yimbys. AI generated poster and literally no other program, just "come to this location and hang out with me please"

image is reportedly AI

what tipped them off, the MS-paint-ass cables on the bridge or the fact that there's two golden gate bridges? or that half the buildings look like this?

The introduction of AI has been hell for artists who say "good enough" at background detail.

honestly the bridges are such a critical element that they shouldn't even be considered background detail. But you can't teach a stemlord to care about art I guess (or perhaps this is the best the model could do)

The whole thing is ugly. it's like a halfway decent idea that a human artist could have knocked out of the park in short order, but noooo

25 minutes in adobe illustrator would give you this but with straight lines, circular sun, windows that match and a consistent art style. just make a bunch of rounded rectancles for the trees and clouds, sharp rectangles for the buildings, blends to make windows and repeating lines, easy as shit.

instead we get some absolute garbage that looks okay for two seconds before you see the details. prompters gonna proooompt

and the liberal "pls obey rules, protest peacefully hehe" note on the side being in some basic windows font instead of a star trekky one just the ass cherry on top
