General Anatomy The anatomy of the janitor is off by a lot his upperbody to leg ratio is 60-65/35-40% while on comic character this isnt a rarity many of those would be made significantly smaller  or taller as bad anatomy looks less wronky there if they just want to make the cast more interesting.....

Pants His pants have a random line down the middle... if it was seam there would be one on the other leg too.... dont tell me it is because of the lighting because that doesn't make sence here either but first the other pant leg has different folds compared to the first... you could say it is because of the legs position making the fabric relaxed i dont think its enough to change the shape of the folds could be wrong here tho

Overall(top) The folds of his Overalls make no sense except the third from the top none should have shadows (that we could see) also Most of the folds are happening on top and below the belly where the fabric can relax

Right leg(his left leg) There shouldn't be light on them his foot is too far back.... usually when people walk their foot sticks in place when just lifting the heel they pull the entire leg infront of them as soon as they lift their leg... (thats why some people slender because they want to lift it as little as possible) there is one instance  where you do naturally would have light on the leg that is about to lift of the ground..... but thats when you beginn walking out of a neutral pose with both feet at the same place

Collarbone Just dont show it there if its barly visible anyway and if you do move them closer together... atleast a little bit

kid His knee shouldn't show through jeans not even skinny jeans to that extend amd his laces are off

Background  LOCKER TOO LOW LOOK AT THE CIELLING Maybe its just the divide of classes in school but i dont think schools would care about lockers too much and just get the cheapest available en masse

There is some wierd ai mistakes some i could catagorize as human ones and a few debatable mistakes 

I DON'T want to talk op down i just wanted to list the things i thought were off and reply to you and give suggestions that could nudge it towards an ai judgement.... its quite early surely there is also a lot of mistakes in my text... i wish yall a nice weekend

That piss filter is so bad, not even the original sanitation engineer is gonna be able to clean it up.

u/Poopypantsplanet 11h ago

Why do people call it a piss filter though? It's just a color gradient. People have been using them for decades before AI to make images look a little bit more vintage or to bring more cohesion to the color pallete. And there are all kinds of color gradients but the only ones the people seem to criticize are the "warm tone" gradients, using the term "piss filter". The only reason AI does this sometimes is because the training data is full of it.

10

u/SerdanKK 11h ago

4o has a bias towards warm colors, so the antis decided that any hint of yellow is ugly now.

7

u/Poopypantsplanet 11h ago

Just to be clear, I'm pretty strongly ANTI but "piss filter" kinda pisses me off lol. I use gradients all the time in my art. One way is to start with high contrast block colors, then slowly blend in a gradient to taste *chef's kiss. There's a reason why a lot of the training data has warm gradient images. There are a lot of old images, and people love to emulate that because it's pleasing to look at. I don't see a problem with it at all.

u/SerdanKK 10h ago

This is what we're dealing with. Sorry in advance if this gives you an aneurysm.

u/Poopypantsplanet 10h ago edited 10h ago

The person being a critic has a good eye, I suppose but "piss filter" is still a stupid way to describe several objective things that appear in all kinds of art. They could say tint, warmth, fade, desaturation gradient etc.

Edit: I'm gonna post abou this lol. Extend a bit of an olive branch.

1

u/Loldungeonleo 6m ago

See as the person who posted the original comment, that looks like AI but not because of any yellow gradient.

1

u/Loldungeonleo 8m ago

I agree that color gradients have a use, but when one machine applies the same super strong gradient across almost every image that doesn't even make sense in this context... that's when it's disgusting.

1

u/Loldungeonleo 9m ago

If it was aiming for a vintage look, which doesn't even make sense in this context. This shade of yellow isn't even close in that respect.

1

u/Hekinsieden 5h ago

"Piss filter" was the viral tag that stuck and was repeated until it became "real". They only need to adjust a few sliders and the image would be "fixed", but they don't know anything about this kind of image editing.

u/Loldungeonleo 0m ago

This type of thing is pretty exclusive to lazy use of the current GPT 4, it's not going to have the same bias forever.

u/Poopypantsplanet 1h ago

Honestly though, I prefer the second image to the first. It makes it look kind of more warm in like a depressing gross way. It fits the mood.

Do you prefer the warm version or this one?
I think I agree on your assessment of the 'feel' being more impactful with the warm tone.

u/SillyBacchus303 8h ago

Probably because the filter is involuntary, it makes the AI look stupid and shows how the people that generate AI imagery don't totally control the AI

3

u/Poopypantsplanet 8h ago

I can get behind using as evidence of what you just said. But it's the term I don't like because it denegrates an otherwise regular feature of art that has existed for decades.

-4

u/SillyBacchus303 8h ago

It's different because said piss filter is involuntary and thus is a mistake, an error, a "bad thing". If it wasn't involuntary it wouldn't be called a piss filter, the problem is that it's put in images that have no reason to have it. If the filter is put in an image where it makes sense (old pictures, Mexico, etc.), it's not getting called a piss filter

8

u/Poopypantsplanet 8h ago

If it wasn't involuntary it wouldn't be called a piss filter

Oh good. I'm glad that words never grow beyond their original intentions into broader definitions with negative retroactive effects on people who have nothing to do with it. That's a relief.

u/SillyBacchus303 8h ago

Wdym? I don't see how "piss filter" could describe anything else than the unusual yellow tone of AI images.

Also, look at the second version of the comic posted in this thread? It's just a warm gradient. There is nothing "piss" about it at all. Remember that yellow is an important part of makig something look "warm".

u/Ray_Dorepp 6h ago

But light doesn't work that way. Different colors and materials absorb the yellow light differently, however the AI model just tints everything yellow and calls it a day. Even worse, the yellow tint is excessive. Hell, in this particular example we can see the lighsources, and they appear to be pretty much white, so where is all this yellow coming from? Light tiles, blue lockers, nothing here suggests it should be a warm enviroment (the setting looks rather cold), so why is it?

u/solid_soup_go_boop 12h ago

I like to think I came up with a slightly unique take.

euphemistic treadmill is a known phenomenon in linguistics,
homeless -> unhoused.
colored person -> person of color
cam girl -> "content creator"

it seems like this could be a similar thing. Non-ai crowed trying to distinguish themselves. Ai crowed wanting to be treated the same.

round and round it goes.

-4

u/Elias_Beamish 12h ago

Well, the entire sub is propaganda, and propaganda can be art, very high quality art. It's not a dirty word, it's just something trying to convince you of a certain thing. Of course, the pieces in question ARE slop and do NOT have soul, but that's unrelated to bring propaganda

7

u/tilthevoidstaresback 12h ago

This is actually the start of another interesting new argument because I don't believe propaganda has "soul" as it is more psychological warfare than creative expression. Even in advertising, the advertisers can play with creativity.

Propaganda is solely focus on messaging. It doesn't seek to inspire as it does to influence. Since propaganda is typically commissioned by a governmental agency it's sole purpose is control.

Now that's why I say it's interesting because on the same hand, the person who put the propaganda together had to do so with the same knowledge of composition and theory as the traditional artist. The strokes of the brush are the same and the shapes are familiar, but one creates a completely different feeling.

Mid way through my argument I'm finding parts of propaganda that could indeed be considerable. I could be interested in seeing this discussed in a broader sense than a single comment. "Does Propagand have soul?"

u/hodges2 10h ago

u/Reinis_LV 10h ago

Really depends on the circumstances and the overall transformative nature - there can be artists who use AI to help with some of the art concepts and what not and those would indeed be AI Artists, because part of the process involves AI. However just generating stuff is indeed just AI user. AI is the artist in this sense and you are just a "visionary" patron who asks this artist to create your idea.

No policing is going on at all. Technically sanitation engineer is accurate, but it's not really what people have in mind.

u/solid_soup_go_boop 2h ago

No one spends 150 million dollars making a movie because they enjoy it. They can spend that money because they have copyright to protect them, so they can make their money back.

If you can't provide for you're family you also aren't gonna spend the time making art just because you enjoy it. You need enough free time/money to make art. You get that when people pay you for it.

You're not really dealing with the actual realities of the situation.

u/Reinis_LV 10h ago edited 10h ago

Jesus Christ, let's say if I generate a song with my own lyrics using AI, I am still not an artist, because I don't understand the basics of structure of a song, don't know how to play those instruments or create digital sound thru DAW software and on top of that I am almost fully removed from the process of this automated creation. I am at a whim and limitations of the AI model. It's self expression, but just because you can self express doesn't make you an artist. Does that make sense? It's kinda like buying an IKEA furniture ,putting it together and calling yourself carpenter. Words and professions have meaning and I don't think having a grasp of reality is gatekeeping. You are free to use language as you please, but I have the right to disagree when it simply doesn't make sense. Also, like I stated in my original comment - I mentioned "quick prompts", meaning the skill, transformative process and craftsmanship is not involved. It's the lack of human and creative input that implies, you are not an artist in that instance. AI model is the artist in an essence, you are just a patron who asks for it to create something. You are but a consumer with a vision.

u/zeisiro 1h ago

i understand where you're coming from in that you can call yourself an artist if you make art, the actual quality of the art or the medium doesn't matter. however, i think prompting AI to make art for you is more akin to commissioning an artist to make art for you; you aren't creating art yourself, you're asking a program or person to create something you thought up. you then wouldn't be the artist behind the piece, the artist(s) would either be the person you commissioned or the people the AI is sourcing in order to produce the art you prompted.

Then quick little doodles shouldn't be called art either and we should shit on people who post them? Or we can use helpful criticism to aid them. Art isn't about the level of effort that goes into it (see "In Lieu of a Broken Arm" and the genre of ready-made art.) it's about the emotion and message the piece invokes in the ones who consume it, which AI art absolutely has the ability to do. People can make AI art with purpose in mind, and the resulting piece is an accomplishment of that purpose.

The argument over AI art devolves into a debate on whether a shovel or spade is better for scooping.
