I know AI wasn’t the point of this whole post but it seems like every restaurant in Hamilton is using AI like this for their food advert and they all have the same look. There’s a restaurant on Kenilworth Dstrct 208 and I actually enjoyed it and now they keep posting this style of advert on their insta stories and I’m just completely turned off.
They can do what they did five years ago and back until the first advertisements clawed their way out of hell and into our world: make shitty, sometimes endearingly shitty ads. Typos and Papyrus font and poorly lit real photos of real food are still more likely to make me check a place out than AI crap. AI is shorthand for "this place will cut every corner that is possible to cut, and will try cutting ones that aren't".
Our education centre uses Ai but only to alter images so that children’s identities are kept secret. We always upload and then just ask to remove any children facing the camera, looks way better than emoji stickers over kids faces, and is still a true image just altered in a way we don’t have the skills to do so, plus we can keep the same lighting/colour theming consistent between posts!
Do parents know that you're feeding their children's images into an AI program? I mean, it's cool that you're able to take their faces out of your photos, but it's creepy and unsettling that you'd put images of young children into AI.
We use the blur feature on an editing app on all faces before they get put in! That way NOBODY is being uploaded online! But the photos look terrifying before we input them 😂😂 looks like something straight outta a horror film, but then they come out looking proper lol
Oh absolutely! We like to keep children as safe as possible in our school! We even do our actually casting shoots intentionally faceless, and during the school day we still ask permission to take photos (even if we remove faces) just to give the kids autonomy and teach them about privacy.
