This seems like a pretty harmless use of AI, this doesn’t hurt artists or graphic designers, it just saves some time to create an image that helps OP communicate more effectively. You can argue about the environmental impact of AI in general, but for one image?
I don’t understand blanket hatred of ALL AI, there are some cases in which it is more useful than harmful.
That """"human"""" skeleton in the fourth item gave it away immediately. Now that I look at it further, "Isolation & Surveillance" and a picture of a megaphone??? "Fear as a tool of control" with a lightning bolt in someone's head??? Did OP even read their slop before vomiting it here?
What's wrong with the skeleton? It's stylised of course as these sorts of icons tend to be, but generally correct. Pelvis, spine, ribs, head, etc.
The megaphone seems like a very good way to evoke images of an abusive overseer controlling the camp's prisoners using technology of the modern day, an effective image for a section on monitoring and control, no?
There is no standardised symbol for fear within a person's mind, so again, a stylised symbol showing a lightning bolt is fine. Especially given that it is likely there on purpose - think shocks. Shocks of a different kind you may receive under an evil oppressive prisoner camp system (imagine the sudden shock in ones mind as a guard shouts or lashes out at you, I would certainly consider symbolising that in this manner).
It's as if you've never looked at anything anyone's made with simple clipart and the like before, and assume everything must be extremely deep and custom designed by experts?
Even if this were made with the help of AI, I don't see the message being any less valid, just because the person didn't go download an image editor to a PC, learn how to use it, learn how to import SVG icons and research for the most appropriate ones, build the image and export it appropriately, etc.
Not everybody is as skilled or capable as you or I may be in producing something that we might consider simple. Heck, some people only have a smartphone, not everybody has the luxury of owning a PC and proper software, nor the time or inclination to learn such tools.
The message in this image is conveyed very well, and is relevant to the current fascist regime's actions in the USA (and indeed is a universally important message).
If you want to suggest it's bad (or "slop", as you so evocatively put it) just because you don't like the image creator used to put it to print, well, that's a weird hill to die on, to be honest.
You better hope your country never duplicates the USA's slide into fascism, or you yourself may one day end up in a camp... or worse. How quick to attack the people trying to raise awareness of these abuses of human rights then, I wonder?
Wow. It certainly passes the test for first viewing. I fell for it until I read this comment and cannot unsee it now. Good reminder how fast propaganda of any subject can propagate, I guess
This might get me a lot of downvotes, but when ai 'draws' text it generates each individual letter which makes them a bit wiggly and often not on a straight line. The fact these are all grammatically correct sentences all on perfectly straight lines give me the impression this isn't raw output. Could be that the image was made with text later added on top though, but even the most advanced ai generators aren't this consistent with text.
Edit: original comment here was a reply to a different comment so removed it here. But now I commented here, what made you doubt about it? I ask because I don't think there is AI yet that can output text that is this consistent.
"Well they aren't concentration camps, but even if they are, they aren't that bad, but even if they are that bad, those people deserve it, and even if they were innocent, there are a lot who aren't, and even if they are all innocent, we need to exterminate brown people"
I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can't condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won't have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.
Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.
It's not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.
I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.
This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.
No no no, it's where you learn to make partially dehydrated juice that you can freeze for easy storage and just add water to when you're ready to make it.
A huge chunk of the American carceral system is people in jail awaiting trial. According to the Prison Policy Institute 70% of the population of city and county jails are pretrial detentions. They can't afford bail so they are stuck in jail without ever being convicted of anything.
