In response to a wave of backlash this morning, Marvel has denied the use of AI in the creation of a new "Fantastic Four: First Steps" poster.

This all just looks like humans over analyzing the shit out of every piece of art now and anything that's not perfect is now the result of AI. The "we 4 you" is obviously on purpose a cutesy version of "we ❤️ you." Anyone who argues otherwise is an idiot.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

I’m with you, almost all of the things circled are either over-analysis or the work of an artist who didn’t know what they were doing.

Example of over-analysis: the dupe head. Copy/paste exists in CGI programs

Another example of over-analysis: the poncho with buttons. Fashion police much? It’s a fictional universe.

Example of artist not knowing what they’re doing: the “camera that isn’t used like that.” Artist could’ve been too young to know how it was used and didn’t bother looking it up

The only one I could kinda agree with was the nose against the viewfinder but even that could’ve just been shitty use of lighting & perspective on the artist’s part

Rangefinders have the viewport on the side. Leica m4

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

My assumption is that it's just a poorly timed shot, where the camera operator is in the process of winding it after taking a picture.

Or just Photoshop

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Every single thing circled also looks like the work of humans.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Humans don't tend to forget the number of fingers humans have

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

When you get photo shopping a crowd together you take many artistic liberties to get the look you are going for. It's all about budget and deadlines how far you'd go.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

First off, that's blurry as fuck and it looks like the 4th could be cut off by another figure in the scene. Second this isn't some fine art piece, it's marketing materials made for a deadline on a budget. Things are composted, duplicated, and skipped in order to make something that looks good at a glance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean tbf I really don't care about this as much as you so if you want the win you can have it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm just sick of the head in the ground uneducated "nothing is real" crowd.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Y'know what, I totally get that, they are insufferable

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

thats why every single human made cartoon has humans with 5 fingers, right?

I'll just copy and paste the same thing I said to the other fool, "this isn't some fine art piece, it's marketing materials made for a deadline on a budget. Things are composted, duplicated, and skipped in order to make something that looks good at a glance."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"This isn't AI. And if it is, it doesn't matter."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's not what I said. I'm saying the imperfections people who don't know what they are talking about are stretching to say it's AI are the exact kind of things humans cutting corners do on this kind of work.

AI slop looks different. This is just regular human slop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Except for calling people who argue with you idiots, I agree with you. This looks like a Photoshop job, AI is way sloppier.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, but only an idiot could think that "we 4 you" is some kind of AI slop. It's clearly intentional. Humans do that exact kind of thing all the time. People are looking for reasons to be angry and all those things pointed out are borderline at best. That piece is clearly intentional.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Especially since one of the background banners has a perfectly normal sentence on it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Are you implying the Disney company would tell lies??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

The duplicate face is more of a Photoshop fail than AI...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

#6 is a rangefinder camera. The viewport is on the right side. He's looking through it like old people who wear glasses would.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

9: what's the deal with the camera strap?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Looks fine to me. I would expect a leather strap to twist like that, and to pull at a collar that way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The hand between 5 and 8 wouldn't be holding a flag at that angle

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The only valid criticism here is the three fingers thing. The rest are just dumb. There are much more plausible reasons for those things than "OMG A.I.!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

3 is wrong, you can clearly see where one side of the coat ends.
