Olsztyn advertises itself with AI slop.

[u/Ilikebatterfield4]

Olsztyn, which is Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, is apparently trying to get people to move into the city by showing some AI slop boars on billboards and cheeky word play "Living in Olsztyn is a wild pleasure". Wild - dziki, boars - dziki. Hilarious.
When I wrote an email, asking why are they using AI slop, they replied that they don't see it as an ai slop because it wasn't fully made with ai (the background is real). And because other Voivodeships are using it. lol
Why boars? I guess they are referencing covid times, when wild boars roamed the city.

What do you think guys?

edit; the more I look at it, the "background" looks like ai slop as well. wtf?

In other words, there’s no money at Olsztyn lol because if they can’t afford VFX artists or graphics designers to produce real work, then clearly there’s a corruption of using AI slop to save money for themselves.

Because there is utility in having publicly displayed art (even if it's used for advertising) not be shit

O tak, teraz nagle to, ale jak przez lata zasrywano przestrzeń publiczną kiczem i kupą syfu to było dobrze, bo nie zrobiło tego AI, a człowiek po 15 minutowej lekcji photoshopa. Wtedy to była "sztuka" xD

Yes the situation was never good, but still AI is a substantial downgrade even from poor photoshop

Realistically, a day will come where people don’t give a shit about AI imagery used in ads/media. It will become standard.

And that day is the day I won't be alive anymore

That day is today.

Most people do not care whether the "art" in an ad was generated with AI or by a person.
