AI generated art at my local pizza parlor

Do we really have to print AI art and put it up in restaurants?

If they really wanted to use AI images, they could have at least used some good ones lmao. The ones with the little girls are kinda creepy tbh

Kinda?

Man, youre a master of understating things. This is on the level of people with creepy doll collections. Really big collections.

u/irrelevant_novelty 9h ago

Yeah man not mildlyinfuriating, more like majorly disturbing.

Why is it ice cream and not pizza?

u/Ohkillz 9h ago

imma keep it real they probably dont even know its ai, or even why people hate ai.

Why does it look like someone's house?

u/tractorcrusher 7h ago

Asking the real questions.

My guess is it’s a touristy area and this is a small kitschy pizza place in a strip

Opinions on AI generated images aside, you can literally generate an adaptation of anything you could possibly think of and this is what you came up with …

It’s the height of “I am cheap and cookie cutter”. I hate it when businesses use AI.

No, there are, and always will be people who love to take pictures, or create art. It's just that in order for corporations to use that, they must pay them, which they really don't want to do, in order to maximize profit, and cut spending as much as possible. I guess this is a sort of alternative for them. Though I would specifically avoid going to places which have AI "art".

So tired of all the boring A.I. hate from dull individuals who can't justify their malcontent. I bet they can't even name 1 art.

You have literally no taste. I don't know what to say other than that.

The pictures in OP's post make me want to commit a crime.

I shouldn't expect an AI art defender to understand hyperboles.

u/SevereNote8904 9h ago

The fact you’re defending AI is honestly insane to me. Do you even have a soul and a love for art or is all you care about “content”?

-13

u/Edelmaan 9h ago

Not everything has to have soul. Things can be surface level decor for some local pizza shop and nothing more than that.

Ironic that you're saying that whilst defending machines. Real art involves passion, time and effort. AI art requires none of that, any talentless pleb like yourself can open up Dall•E and type in a prompt.

EDIT: Here come the downvotes from the angry AI glazers lmao

That's your best reply? You really don't have a better argument than that? Go figure.

u/Initial-Public-9289 9h ago

To counter your... what, exactly? Banana taped to a wall and called "art"? At least this is worth looking at.

u/Oh_Cosmos 6h ago

It's worth looking at young children, dolled up, licking an ice cream?

You should maybe get yourself checked out. That's creepy.

It's only worth burning in my fireplace. And have you even seen some of the works by Vincent Van Gogh, Leonardo DaVinci, etc.? This is not worth looking at. I'd honestly rather stab my eyes out with a rusty flathead screwdriver than look at AI slop.

u/Edelmaan 8h ago

Sir this is a local pizza shop, not the louvre. It’s not that deep

A lot of redditors don't have much going on.

u/Edelmaan 9h ago

Virtue signaling. Yes we get it. Artist should be paid for their work and used when ever possible. We don’t need countless posts every day about it. I doubt this pizza place cares enough about their decor to get actual art.

u/TerrorHank 6h ago

It's easy internet points for people without any other discernable personality features. Just "AI bad" and all the npcs come out of the woodwork with frothing mouths muttering words like "slop' and giving eachother tugjobs

I made this and it comes in handy pretty often. Not with these artworks tho, they are horrible.

u/JustA_Simple_User 3h ago

I like to use AI art for my stories as it's just for me it brings the story alive and j enjoy that but if something your being paid to do, charging someone to go you shouldn't use AI as a shortcut

I went to the gas station, and no one pumped my gas for me. I waited for about 15 minutes and finally just did it myself.

u/Street-Comb-4087 9h ago

And how, exactly, is this related to OP's post?

u/Away_throw667 8h ago

A skyrim npc .

u/MC-McKnuckle 8h ago

Yeah. Then there is that npc who can only complain about seeing ai art.

u/Away_throw667 8h ago

Why did you post randomly about a gas station issue?

-7

u/MC-McKnuckle 8h ago

I explained it better in a different reply. Complaining about not getting your gas pumped is stupid because that's just the way it is now. Complaining about AI art is stupid because that's just the way it is now.

u/Away_throw667 8h ago

I thought so but most are not going to get that insinuation. AI art is slop and the beginning of new dystopia. Have fun in bit fraud land.

u/MC-McKnuckle 8h ago

You keep complaining about ai art on reddit. I'll start laying on my horn every time I roll up to a gas pump. We will be back in a utopia in no time! Next time I go to a restaurant and they hand me a cup and point me to the soda fountain, I'm gonna hand it back and say, "You do it!" If we both stay angry long enough, we can change the world.

u/MC-McKnuckle 8h ago

They used to pump gas for you. But the world changed, and now you pump your own gas. It would be silly to be upset about that for the rest of your life. That's how I feel about people who complain every time they see an AI image. The world has changed. You will be seeing AI images for the rest of your life. Unless you enjoy being angry, it would be better for you it you just worked on not being upset by this. If you don't, you will end up being like the guy who complains about not getting his gas pumped. People won't even understand why you are angry. They will just look at you and be like, "Wut".

They used to beat their kids. But the world changed, and now they don't beat their kids. It would be silly to be upset about that for the rest of your life.

You need to get a lawyer and sue that gas station ASAP! What monsters would make you wait 15 minutes, then force you to pump your own gas?

u/LennoxIsLord 8h ago

If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t be able to tell and I wouldn’t care

Now that you’ve told me, I still don’t care. Also be realistic were they actually going to pay an artist to paint these pictures? Fuck no who would wanna wait for and pay for that? Especially for generic space filling slop that most people aren’t even gonna take a second look at.

8

u/AwkwardDorkyNerd PURPLE 8h ago

Except someone evidently did take a second to look at it, and I’m sure OP can’t be the only one (I definitely would while I was waiting for my order).

And, this may surprise you, but before all this AI shit, people did pay to have actual art in their shops. They don’t even have to pay someone to commission it, they can literally just buy secondhand art from their local Goodwill that looks infinitely better.

Plus, if they’re gonna use AI art for the sake of decoration, why not at least use AI art that looks decent, rather than ugly and creepy? Or, better yet, the aforementioned Goodwill art, or plants, or knickknacks—anything would be better than this

Lastly, if you’re seriously telling me that you couldn’t tell that the very cartoonish and disproportionate dollfaced girl was AI-generated art, you probably need glasses.

1

u/itpguitarist 4h ago

I mean the biggest tell that they’re AI is that a local pizza parlor would never pay an artist to draw/take these ice cream themed pictures before or after AI. There’s tons of weird human art out there, and I wouldn’t have been shocked to see a picture like any one of these in a thrift store.

u/AwkwardDorkyNerd PURPLE 7h ago

If you don’t have a genuine response, rebuttal, comeback, what have you, then why even bother replying? That just wastes both of our time, and makes for a boring discussion.

u/JustA_Simple_User 3h ago

Why do you want them to fight back? It's reddit I maybe angry since my stomach feels like it's dying from the inside... don't ask but why do you care if they didn't fight back? Why do you want a fight to keep going on reddit, okay seems he either understood or doesn't care which is also fine

•

u/AwkwardDorkyNerd PURPLE 15m ago

If they don’t care, then I would rather they don’t respond. If they understand, then say that. “Ok” seems passive aggressive. And I never said I wanted to fight, my comment even says I want a discussion. I’m open to differences in opinion, I just like when they’re articulated well.

Also, their original comment seems far more aggressive towards OP than my comment towards them did. I just wanted a potentially interesting debate, a chance for us to both express our differences in opinion. Not every discussion that involves disagreement has to be an argument, you know.
