"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wilson said it was also upsetting for the production and design team, who had worked hard on the books.

Angel Train's cover is literally plain, hard-to-read white text slapped on top of a slop image. What fucking design team?

In a statement, Smither said the designers spent hours working on the cover of her book, which features a steam train and an angel “half-obscured in the smoke”, inspired by artist Marc Chagall’s figures.

“It is them I am most concerned about: that their meticulous work … is being disrespected,” Smither said.

Well apparently they spent hours giving prompts to copy Marc Chagall's work just right

A team of agentic designers eh. Or blind ones.

There's more to book design than the cover, like layout etc.
