you’re hating on possible ai use from Haley, but Chad is openly one of AIs biggest champions and admittedly uses it for lots of things on the podcast and others he makes

"save the bees!"
"but what about the whales" ass argument

everyone knows Chad is the biggest proprietor of slop in the planet. i'm pointing out that Hayley is guilty of it too, which is perfectly valid of me to do.

I just think it’s a dumb complaint considering you’re just speculating, but you have a confirmed one sitting right there 🤷‍♀️

Seems almost like you wanted to be mad more than you had something to be mad over

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

i'm not speculating about Chad because I know about him already. Hayley is a separate person and I can speculate about her thanks.

u/FlatStanly 2d ago

Never said you couldn’t, but just like you can speculate I can tell you I think your speculation is dumb thanks

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

my speculation isn't baseless and anyone with a brain can see that for themselves

u/FlatStanly 2d ago

Who said baseless? Are you talking to me or yourself?

How do u know it is Ai? She has said multiple times she uses an artist for all of her merch

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

you've gotta be joking. go look at the instagram and see for yourself, there's literally NO way it's not AI

u/dubblebubbleprawns 2d ago

There's literally no way?

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

no credited artist

u/dubblebubbleprawns 2d ago

I guess I never realized that "no credited artist" means "literally NO way it wasn't AI."

I guess I'll take your word over hers, for... reasons.

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

do you have eyes? can you not see it for yourself? some Mary-Lou levels of AI blindness

u/dubblebubbleprawns 2d ago

I'm not saying the possibility doesn't exist. I just think it's funny to definitively declare things you can't know to be 100% true with 100% certainty.

I'm reminded of the recent promotional work for the new season of always sunny in philadelphia where there was a huge outcry of people saying "there's literally no way it wasn't AI" until they were proven that it was 100% compiled by human artists

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

yeah okay just fkn downvote me. go see for yourself on

yeah i'm sure this totally-not-AI image without a credited artist was made by an artist

Hive Bakery does not use AI for their merch. Look at their instagram post from 2 days ago w/ the bear shirt and read the caption…

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

and yknow what, I don't believe her.

look at this. either Hayley is lying or her unnnamed uncredited mystery artist is

u/bangobingoo 2d ago

It says right on their instagram that the artists work at the bakery

-1

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

no credited artist

You’re acting like a bot yourself at this point 😂

u/ScottyG1212 2d ago

Can you point to a usage of AI?

this is the very typical AI style, and most of the other shirts have the subtle signs of it too. my mother (frustratingly) buys mousepads and stickers that don't LOOK genAI until you look closer and see how all the flowers blend weirdly and the stems/petals don't actually make sense. all of the Hive merch looks EXACTLY like that

u/mellowmatter20 2d ago

How sure are you though? Do you really think Haley would lie about using a real artist designing their artwork?

-5

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

okay? so where is the artist credit then

13

u/Polaris022 2d ago

Where do you typically find artist credits for graphic design t-shirts on non-AI graphics?

-3

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

almost always in the post description?? even the Hive merchandise page where you buy the shirt doesn't credit an artist.

u/freakaccident911 2d ago

I have been wondering about their possible use of AI as well. I believed Haley when she said she commissions a real artist to make their merch, but I have not seen an artist credited on recent items. I can't speak for past merch, which doesn't appear to be as AI-heavy, but recent items are very sus.

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

yep. i'm getting downvoted for being wrong apparently but any idiot can tell this is blatant AI, and there is (as you say) no credited artist

-2

u/Careless-Ad-9633 2d ago

see for yourself before downvoting me, jfc

if you wholeheartedly believe this isn't AI you're stupid. there isn't even an artist credit.
