While I am quite excited about the Walton Goggins-infused Amazon Fallout series, the show debuted some promo art for the project ahead of official stills or footage and…it appears to be AI generated.

    I don’t even mind the use of AI art in this context, but the fact that they couldn’t be bothered to do a little touch-up speaks a lot to the quality that can be expected from their show.

    This is a viral marketing campaign. I hadn’t heard of the show, now I have. It’s a fuck you to artists and a planned rage bait to get people talking about the show.

      Yeah I thought so, there would be no way that they’d screw up like that unless it was intentional

    I’m a little skeptical that it’s AI generated because a lot of those details could be the result of kitbashing, which is especially common with concept art (here’s an example from Guild Wars 2). It could be they just grabbed a piece of concept art, slapped some promo stuff on top of it and called it a day. That said, considering how much of a hard-on Hollywood has for AI, I wouldn’t put it past them to generate promo art with an AI.

    I wasn’t planning on watching it anyway, but I wanted to throw in my two cents.

    Just throwing this out there because we don’t know for sure - but my hope is that Amazon paid their graphic designer/illustrator the regular rate for something like this and they saved themselves 90% of the time it would have taken by using Stable Diffusion and then took the rest of the day off.
