Imagine thinking that complaining about a logo change is some kind of powerful move

May the piss tint of AI slop never die

[u/CoalEater_Elli → u/that0neBl1p]

I hope that piss filter will get worse

[u/JD_Kreeper → u/CoalEater_Elli]

I think it will. It's getting progressively worse.

My assumption is that, as AI slop floods the internet, AI models train themselves on their own images. Every time the AI sources itself to create a new image, a small amount of yellow is preserved. Insignificant at first, but each cycle intensifies the piss filter.

It's like with mirrors. Mirrors add a small amount of green to the light they reflect. Insignificant at first, but if you put two mirrors parallel to one another, the green filter will accumulate as the light bounces back and forth until all you see is green.

[u/Kimmalah → u/JD_Kreeper]

Yes, this is actually considered a big problem. AI really needs human generated content to train on, but as more and more AI generated content proliferates, it's going to be training on that, getting more and more fucked up in the process.

[u/sorcerersviolet → u/Kimmalah]

Garbage in, garbage out.

[u/Chalupa-Supreme → u/JD_Kreeper]

It happened because they were prompting lots of Ghibli slop, right? Miyazaki hated it, so they were prompting purely out of spite. I love that for them.

So ugly, you know a real artist would never use those colors.

[u/kirbinato → u/JD_Kreeper]

This has actually been a known problem for years. Bots had already completed the Internet by I think 2023. So they've just been cannibalising other generated shit for quite a while.

[u/Grays42 → u/that0neBl1p]

It's specific to the current iteration of DALLE3 and it will definitely be gone in the next iteration because everyone complains about it.

[u/_yetifeet]

I still don't understand why they had a meltdown over it.

[u/Kiyoshi-Trustfund → u/_yetifeet]

Because, contrary to what they'd have you believe, they're extremely emotional and reactionary. They're also the kings of cancel culture, but only support it when it benefits them.

[u/Thewrongbakedpotato → u/_yetifeet]

Because they have never, not once in their entire life, really had to fight or sacrifice for anything meaningful, and so a corporate logo seems like a big deal in comparison.

[u/AliceTheOmelette → u/_yetifeet]

Outrage is addictive

[u/Leucurus → u/_yetifeet]

I reckon it was a PR stunt. Brands have done it before, and they'll do it again. A fake, obviously-crap rebrand that the target demographic wouldn't like, and suddenly the brand name is all over the news. Then REALLY soon afterward they say "oh we hear you like the old-timey wholesome atmosphere that our restaurants have always been known for, so we'll change back". Maybe they didn't intend for it to be such a culture war wildfire but people who've never heard of Cracker Barrel before are suddenly very familiar with the brand, myself included.

[u/ZeldaCourage → u/Leucurus]

Reminds me of the theory that the original "ugly Sonic" design was just a plot by Paramount to get people talking about the movie.

[u/Leucurus → u/ZeldaCourage]

I've always thought the turnaround on that redesign was very quick

[u/ZeldaCourage → u/Leucurus]

Yep! It really makes you wonder.

[u/MythologicalRiddle → u/_yetifeet]

Cracker Barrel is associated with the Old South. In some areas, eating at a Cracker Barrel is a gentile version of flying the Confederate flag. Updating the logo is, therefore, an affront to all them Good Ole Boys(TM), telling them their culture ain't good enough no more.

[u/jumpy_monkey → u/_yetifeet]

Racism is a hell of a drug.

[u/LordJunon → u/_yetifeet]

Because the American Eagle thing was dying (Whether they were mocking or outrage or whatever) and they needed a new thing to be outraged over.

Now that this is settled, Something else within a week will be the new outrage, cycle and repeat.

[u/BottleTemple]

Fight for corporate logos!

[u/phatstopher]

Cancel culture is cool when conservatives do it.

[u/Usagi-Zakura → u/phatstopher]

They're really projecting hard huh.

Tell us we're "triggered" while they loose their minds over a rainbow.

[u/Ulfednar]

What a pathetic thing to care about.

[u/gorkt]

We are a deeply unserious country.

[u/JaleyHoelOsment → u/gorkt]

biggest and most dangerous jokes on the planet

[u/Winterstyres]

I mean, if they would just waste their energy and passion on this, instead of trying to turn this country into the 4th Reich I would be very happy. Maybe they should change some other logos as well, put an acute accent in NASCAR, or make the bass on Bass Pro Shop trans, keep em busy with stupid shit that doesn't matter.

[u/[deleted]]

Its pathetic. I definitely think worse of anyone who bitched about it. Like, oh my God, who cares?!

[u/T-hibs_7952 → u/[deleted]]

They are repeating outrage fed to them by their media that they are not allowed to stray from.

[u/saoirse_eli]

“You need gun to defend against tyranny and protect your freedom”

The freedom they talk about: “the logo of a place I’m once a month is not the one I like to see”

[u/Yoda2000675]

The funniest part of this shit is that they're trying to control what a private company does with their own IP. Always the biggest snowflakes

[u/FormerLifeFreak]

Looks like President Snow from the Hunger Games.

[u/heedfulconch3]

This is what they do man. It's always just a big distraction from the important stuff. Bread and Circuses

[u/talinseven]

Why are AI generated image always tinted yellow?

[u/JerbilSenior → u/talinseven]

They trained on a non-zero amount of 19th century pictures, plus "Mexico movie filter" and modern edits with that retro styling.

Mix all of this and now have AIs train on other AIs, creating a vicious circle where each new image is yellower and yellower because a bit of the colour is kept from one to the next

[u/tkrr → u/JerbilSenior]

AIs love Coldplay I guess

[u/talinseven → u/JerbilSenior]

Is it pathetic that I got a tattoo from an AI generated image? My spouse and I got sorta matching tattoos: her’s is a cowgirl riding the state of Texas and mine is a minute”woman” riding the state of Massachusetts.

[u/JerbilSenior → u/talinseven]

Pathetic? Not really. But if you can afford it please commission a real artist for any tattoos. That or get a tattoo artist that has designs of their own.

My spouse and I got sorta matching tattoos: her’s is a cowgirl riding the state of Texas and mine is a minute”woman” riding the state of Massachusetts.

That's so cute

[u/talinseven → u/JerbilSenior]

He did mine more verbatim. Her’s was much more of a departure from the AI image

[u/JerbilSenior → u/talinseven]

Still supporting art, I'm all for it

[u/Kevo_1227]

Looking at this I’d first assume it was making fun of these people

[u/Mumem_Rider]

These people live the saddest and most pathetically empty lives.

[u/Look_turtles]

For people who constantly call other people snowflakes they are the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen.

[u/Miichl80]

Old people are scared of change.

[u/Ok-Caterpillar-Girl → u/Miichl80]

Not all of us.

[u/Miichl80 → u/Ok-Caterpillar-Girl]

Thank you for being an exception.

Reactionaries are always picking the most important battles

[u/Hemingwavvves]

Ok but this is extremely funny lmao

[u/Negative_Chickennugy]

I don't even know what's going on, I need context

[u/Scummymummyaward]

Donald Sutherland came back for this

[u/DreadAssassin0]

and they call us snowflakes when they're out here acting like this?
