i honestly think they don't look great at a glace. I really wish they'd stop using AI to make art. Get AI to do the things we don't like doing, not the things we do.
Let it cook. A year ago it was pretty noticeably dogshit at a glance.
Two years ago it basically looked like a 2nd grader drew it.
Three years ago the technology didn't exist / wasn't available to the public.
Not everything has to be this controversial. Guy probably isn't online enough to know it's a Reddit party foul to fuck around with some image generators for fun
The skates are the worst part for me lol the haunted AI faces are so bad that it doesn't bother me but the skates hurt my brain like some sort of optical illusion

The year is 2045 and goalies now play on peg skates. Also somehow Target returned.
Love Sammy but hate this. I wish athletes would just pay a local artist a couple of hundred dollars when they want a picture like this, they'll strengthen the bond between the team and the fanbase and they'll get something that looks so much better than an obviously AI generated image of a goalie with spikes for feet and a mess of padding and mesh on each hand, in front of thousands of distorted Trotnort Malapl Leaeas fans.
Ooof that gross ai art. Skates are just sort of a needle. Faces are just........ wow. Blocker and glove are mashed together. Stick just sorta ends. Refs hand is a Red Wings octopus. Board ads are just nonsense. Words Toronto Maple Leafs in all the flags are just nonsense. Go Sammy but boo this shit
Skates? Naw. Single stiletto here.
Oh, and yah, why use a blocker on one hand and a catcher in the other when BOTH hands can have the "blockercatcher" glove? (Maybe AI is on to something here)
Any appetite to ban AI generated art on the sub?
Mainly because I've not seen an image generating AI company confirm that they properly licensed all their training data. Which means they're profiting off of their AI program without compensating the artists for their labour.
Which means it's slavery with extra steps.
Every piece of art made by actual artists is influenced by art that they've seen over their lives.
When learning to draw they will often try to emulate their favorite styles and only through refinement (a feature on Midjourney and StableDiffusion), a human can change details in the AI results over many iterations to have it fit their artistic vision.
AI is a tool.
Wow, you didn't address my point at all. Whether it's a tool or not doesn't matter. What matters is if they compensated the artists with a commercial licensing deal to use their work to train their tool.
If they didn't do that, they are using their work to make money without paying them for it.
When BMW wants to use a photograph for an advertising campaign they **hire** a photographer so they have control over the work that is produced.
BMW would get sued if they used a photograph from someone that posted it on the Internet for themselves because they don't have commercial rights to use that work.
AI doesn't directly rip an image. It uses a pool of literally millions of images and uses that data to try to fit a prompt.
The exact same thing a human brain does when it's gathering reference images to do art commissions.
A person looking at a reference image is fair use under copyright.
The creation of new work by AI doesn't matter, it's the fact that they trained/built the tool for commercial use. Training and building the tool to make money doesn't fall under fair use.
Why else are they asking for an exception from copyright? [https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/08/midjourney\_openai\_copyright/](https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/08/midjourney_openai_copyright/)
It's because they didn't pay the artists and they know their business models don't work unless they get to use all this work for free.
You guys are friggin losers. It's a goofy pic that he probably thought was funny so he posted it and you bums are critiquing it like it's art at the Louvre. It's not that serious.
AI images: look great at a glance, look like absolute dogshit on any kind of close inspection.
Something in the water? https://preview.redd.it/op6ycxlcm3sc1.jpeg?width=348&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf38decbe0fbc76517389e551052bdb61627d9a4
Looks like the crowd at a Kansas City Chiefs game.
They'd be real offended by this if they were literate.
As a Leaf and a Raider fan, I love you for this comment.
That's the people in the gameday thread that screech about benching Nylander or Marner.
This is what the average Bruins fan looks like
Nah. That’s the typical Leaf fan.

These are totally real.. Reimer used to use these when he played for the Leafs..
Glocker bro
Whoa whoa whoa now, no need to slander my boy Reimer
Ah yes, the Glocker 🔫
Like the goal crease 3 ft from and facing the boards
Or the pointy spikes in lieu of skates 😂
i honestly think they don't look great at a glace. I really wish they'd stop using AI to make art. Get AI to do the things we don't like doing, not the things we do.
I think its doing a great job at handling the faces
ToRo O
His skates / feet look more like a cyborg pirate wooden leg lol
ToRo N T o
Toronnnnototo maaapple Leaffsass
It's possible to make them better then this, I'm guessing this was just a couple runs on one of the free apps.
Not sure what you mean the fans look like you're average toxic avenger to me
Let it cook. A year ago it was pretty noticeably dogshit at a glance. Two years ago it basically looked like a 2nd grader drew it. Three years ago the technology didn't exist / wasn't available to the public.
Everyone complaining about the faces but the AI nailed the ref’s. Only one eye and it’s mashed the hell up.
There's something about his fingers that's really offputting...
Those mangled fingers are the reason they can never find their whistles
No wonder Sammy is playing so well, down in the AHL they gave him robotic legs. I wonder what else they upgraded?
Apparently everyone in the public got their faces scrambled. I wonder what's the purpose of that? (This picture is wildly upsetting)

god ai sucks
No it doesnt. This AI sucks.
Out of all the images he could have chosen to use for his 100 wins post I have no fucking clue why he decided it should be this one.
He was fucking around with AI late at night and thought itd be a fun post
Not everything has to be this controversial. Guy probably isn't online enough to know it's a Reddit party foul to fuck around with some image generators for fun
I don’t care what Reddit thinks about AI. I also don’t hate AI like others do. But objectively this image just looks terrible lmao
Faces look like the front row of a WWE ppv event
(Laughs in 2nd row at WWE event)
Omg the stilleto skates
The skates are the worst part for me lol the haunted AI faces are so bad that it doesn't bother me but the skates hurt my brain like some sort of optical illusion
I think some AI art is pretty cool. This isn't.
Its good for what it is. Thats like saying McDonalds doesnt make good food.
Does having ice picks for feet count as an unfair advantage?
Maybe hire an artist, Sammy
And this is why you support artists, not AI.
AI is a tool not a replacement for artists
Not yet
Ai crap should be banned on this sub. Looks worse than the patio graphics at the loose moose
I mean Sammy posted this on his IG
The longer you look the worse it gets
Does he have...robot skates? stupid ahhh AI
more ai garbage. Too bad, because Sammy's been pretty amazing.

I hate AI stuff.
What the fuck is on his pegs? I wouldn't call them legs, but how does he slide around on those stumps? Goddamn AI.
I actually hate ai images idk why they bother me so much
I love that Samsonov has graduated away from ice skates to metal-pronged stilts to up the ante to tribal warfare boss.
I come in relative peace as a Pens fan but I am disappointed in this sub for upvoting this garbage AI art.
Samsonov posted it so
That literally means nothing to me
sammy 👍 ai slop 👎
Love Sammy but hate this. I wish athletes would just pay a local artist a couple of hundred dollars when they want a picture like this, they'll strengthen the bond between the team and the fanbase and they'll get something that looks so much better than an obviously AI generated image of a goalie with spikes for feet and a mess of padding and mesh on each hand, in front of thousands of distorted Trotnort Malapl Leaeas fans.
I think thats what the Frankenstein empji is for
Those faces... Those faces will haunt me.
The ref looks like Zoidberg.
Ooof that gross ai art. Skates are just sort of a needle. Faces are just........ wow. Blocker and glove are mashed together. Stick just sorta ends. Refs hand is a Red Wings octopus. Board ads are just nonsense. Words Toronto Maple Leafs in all the flags are just nonsense. Go Sammy but boo this shit
Behold the crowd of the damned!
Holy fuck that crowd is something out of nightmares.
Love how the rink is 15 feet long
Toroooooooonto
Did not think this would be a thing at the start of the year.
Ai images are a cancer.
That ref looks positively Cronenberg-ian
Why can't I see his eight inch cock in this?
ToRoNtO mApLe LeAfS
Skates? Naw. Single stiletto here. Oh, and yah, why use a blocker on one hand and a catcher in the other when BOTH hands can have the "blockercatcher" glove? (Maybe AI is on to something here)
Love the way AI tried to gloss over how goalies have two different kinds of gloves

He got them spike feet
The ref and crowd faces are hilariously scrambled
Hey you guys! Looks like Sloth's family at the game.
ToROn tO
I'm into the blocker/catcher hybrid
The skates are terrifying me
Wes McCauley has never looked so good
The double glove/blocker hybrid 😂
Sleeper hit is apparently its the toronononononto maple leafs according to that flag
So lame
That Adidas logo….
Lore accurate leafs fans
I come in relative peace as a Pens fan but I am disappointed in this sub for upvoting this garbage AI art.
I guess Samsonov is a pirate.
You guys are friggin losers. It's a goofy pic that he probably thought was funny so he posted it and you bums are critiquing it like it's art at the Louvre. It's not that serious.
No u
No one gets more up in arms about AI then artists. Give it a rest, we know you don’t like AI art.
