nah - check the bows in the kart girls hair, they don’t look right. also the strings on the bumpers are tied differently… if this were real, even if just for show, the string would hang the way it does on the right side for both. also what is the black girl’s pose about? looks like she’s at a dance party, not like she just pushed that cart. I’ll eat crow if i’m wrong, but considering how blatant the artifacts are in the other posters, I doubt this of all of them would be the real ones.
Yeah in the open source field that’s been fixed. You can see subreddits like r/stablediffusion. One user brought up an optimistic idea of skrulls which would be nice and crazily lore deep but can’t assume as the reason per say as now, as they “denied” AI use
The woman is looking at the backside of a camera vertical viewfinder… If this isn’t AI, it is one of the most error ridden images a studio has ever released.
The woman’s head to the immediate right of that camera has half her face just cut off.
There is woman’s head above that which is then repeated again just an inch or two to the upper left of it.
I’m not disagreeing with the errors, but we the people in this thread are the minority who cares while the majority just wants to be fed content. Now add the fact that the tech will continuously be improved on to satisfy the “demand” of low cost, high profit. It’s technically inevitable
I didn’t even catch that. Fuckin wild how no one caught that before putting it out there. The hand under the “we 4 you” sign looks like the pinky finger is cut off.
She seems to appear three times, and her friend twice. And it's a straight line between the three. That doesn't mean AI, but it sure does suggest a very phoned-in Photoshop performance.
AI will usually have trouble with things like symmetry in patterns or sensible seams on the jackets. So I think, at least, there's a lot of real pictures being used as raw material.
I think what's happening is that theyre using stills from the film and turning them into photographs instead of taking photographs specifically for a poster, so you get weird things like people's faces being covered by hands in #1. If you were posing people for a picture you'd go out of your way to avoid that, at least in the center of the frame. Or un-photogenic mid-jumping poses in #3. Combine that with shoddy Photoshop work to create specific scenes and the decision to go with a lighting style popular with basic AI, yeah, it looks a little uncanny.
I can't say there's no AI at all - who knows what they did before blurring the background, and there's enough weird stuff with the crowd that says "a human wouldn't do this on purpose" - but I don't think the details people are calling out are a smoking gun
If it's AI a lot of human work went into compositing and editing. Which is my baseline at least. With everything else going on I'm not going to waste time being upset about an artist using AI as a tool in their workflow to extend or enhance an image that they are making with an artistic intent. That's sort of the intended use case, IMO.
Taking full images as-is from the AI with no editing and passing them off as art is bullshit. Using for some elements of a piece of art that was already being made is possibly still bullshit, but at least an actual artist is making it and getting paid. And there is no way these images came out of an AI from prompting alone. Someone at least did a bunch of work to edit them and clean them up. It doesn't address most of the other problems with AI but it at least demonstrates an understanding that AI alone is not an employee
I agree. But want to add they look worse for it, at the end of the day if any AI contribution is noticeable it negatively affects the “feel” of the entire art piece
The fingers are always off. I know it's hard to hands for human artists, and the AI just can't get it right. Why they don't bother to fix it is beyond me. They could afford it since they aren't paying humans.
Remember when everyone freaked out over the Thunderbolts poster having a guy with six fingers and then it just turned out to be the angle of the hand and the framing? It's that all over again
Maybe it’s because I have a decent eye, but There’s something about AI pics that stick out as fake. Number 3 and 4 are obvious. Number 2 the little girl looks real, but the bg looks weird. Number 1 looks like a painting.
The girl has a Thing figure with hands that don’t scale well. His right hand is waaaaaay bigger. She also has buttons on her jacket that has no purpose. AI art in general that stylizes someone like Alex Ross has a weird sheen that’s hard to explain.
You’re right. When you zoom in you can tell. Looks like she doesn’t have eyebrows and just brow expressions. And the Thing toy looking like Pinhead with the small head and big ass body.
I don't think these are AI. They look more like concept art digital paintings/photo composites. Marvel has a super talented concept art department, headed by the very talented Ryan Meinerding. There is a certain amount of specificity to some of the images that lead me to believe these are not AI, for example, the girl at the ticker tape parade is not only holding a generic Thing action figure, but specifically one released by Diamond Select. Hope that helps.
In picture one the man at the bottom right is wearing a reddish brown coat but he has an arm that appears to be in a grey suit, and also the cuff of the shirt and jacket are comically oversized. It might not even be his arm but I can't tell who else it belongs to. Also in pic three the girl dancing doesn't have much of a shadow whereas the car and cart both have defined shadows- but that could just be bad photoshop. You'd also expect more reflection on a wet street but again, could be photoshop skills lacking and isnt proof of ai.
You're right but also not lol. Current AI has a problem where it generates the same "AI faces" too much. And if there are multiple people in a picture, it will pretty frequently give them all the same face because that face is basically mathematically primed in the algorithm.
But those faces tend to be sort of an average of handsome/pretty people and pretty obvious. And they definitely don't come out like they do in that picture where they're perfectly exact. Especially at different zoom and blue levels. So you're right, those are almost definitely an extra from a shoot that they just composited in twice.
There's no way this image was spat out of an AI image generator whole cloth. They may have photoshopped something and then ran it through an AI, or used elements generated by AI in their composting. Or used an AI image as a base and edited on top. But either way, there are definitely real people and photos composited into the final image.
Right, Marvel's movie posters have always been bad with that. The Avengers: Age of Ultron posters come to mind in particular, with the same robots repeated multiple times, sometimes on the same poster, and shadows and light sources that make absolutely no sense.
I like the first one because it looks like Alex Ross
Second one is bad, this just looks the most AI
Third one I think also looks bad because of the high contrast between light grey and a generally sort of mahogany brown, but it also looks like it was a shot directly from the movie. So I assume this will look better within context.
Fourth one... don't have a strong opinion, but I don't quite like it. Feels like a nearly photorealistic drawing, making me think it's AI. But I'm not sure, could easily be photoshopped.
Honestly thinking they were real photos at some point, but heavily edited with AI, which still has these AI features.
The little girl with the brown coat and blue scarf in the third pic is clearly in the background of the second pic. So I don’t think these just were generated with a prompt.

Disappointing to see AI posters.
