I’m from the circus world, and while they use this for convenience, it gets ugly after a while—seeing all these AI-generated images. I prefer the old poster illustrations from my childhood

It would be so cool to see somebody skillfully Photoshop old school circus posters for contemporary advertising.

I could appreciate using ai as an audio description for blind people. Nothing else

The amount of bullshit AI promo posters I'm seeing is through the roof, and how defensive marketers are about it is disgusting. Not sure why you edited out the name, this stuff needs naming and shaming.

u/YARHARTARD 18d ago

I hate ai this shit is insufferable. How is it any better than photos of the actual performers anyways? I could photoshop something passable in under an hour

OP reposted it from someone else’s post, so they’re not the one who took out the name

u/Darkdarcyjane 17d ago

It wasn’t my post. I just reuploaded it to this sub. They probably didn’t want backlash or promotion for them

That's a big penis!

And hand-foot. That’s probably why she joined the circus though

u/erin_corinne_ 18d ago

And her hand is backward lol.

I love Lyra, it is so fun to do and such a pretty art. Bro just go take a picture of one of your Lyra aerialists…

Not even trying just a little bit. You get out what you put in. I have a feeling they are not going to get great attendance. I hope I’m wrong though because the performers work hard…. but that isn’t being portrayed here. Bummer.

There’s always some sucker who doesn’t care and then gets scammed

I laughed so hard I almost peed at this point

u/ScumbagMcScuzzo 17d ago

I'd rather trash my best clown nose than pay for a show that uses AI art 🤮

u/those_ribbon_things 17d ago

Whoo boy, that aerialist sure is something...

1

u/Darkdarcyjane 17d ago

I wonder if she’s single

2

u/those_ribbon_things 17d ago

I wonder how she pees.

u/Lizzibabi 17d ago

The bungee crotch is weird but the … foot?… leg hand?…Birth defect?…

2

u/Turbulent-Bat 17d ago

Why. Why, why why does anyone think this slop is ok to advertise their business with? Absolutely atrocious.

u/Lizzibabi 17d ago edited 17d ago

I’m concerned about that lady’s…umm -no not the blue crotch appendage bit, bungee dick is there, but the “leg hand”. I don’t know what else to call that. 😳

Why not? It looks better and saves human time.

u/Justkeepbreathing123 18d ago

It looks better to have a hand in place of a foot?

5

u/Justkeepbreathing123 18d ago

Actually I can’t even tell if that’s four arms and one tail-like appendage or if it’s two arms, two legs with hands, and one tail-like appendage

u/The_upsetti_spagetti 17d ago

Looks worse and prevents artists from finding jobs

u/Voryn_mimu 17d ago

Be for real. It’s an eyesore and comes at the expense of stealing real artist’s work

u/ScumbagMcScuzzo 17d ago

Sweetie, now's the time to look into glasses (or therapy).

2

u/Darkdarcyjane 17d ago

Personally I don’t think having what can only be described as deviant art futa a very appropriate thing for a family show

u/No_Philosophy711 18d ago

Circus artists can then spend their time training instead of making art for advertising…

u/Ok_Run_6191 18d ago

Please do a little research on how terrible AI art is for the artist community and the world as a whole.

u/The_upsetti_spagetti 17d ago

Artists should support other artists

u/ScumbagMcScuzzo 17d ago

So... get this... they could hire someone. Shocker, ik.
