I can’t tell you how often I’ve been walking around looking for a place to eat and I see all these AI generated slop menus with AI generated food photos. I just walk away from those places. I can almost forgive the AI generated format for the menu, almost. But I can’t forgive the food photos
TIL that corporate blandness had a name.
I think it had it’s place as inoffensive background filler but obviously was overdone.
AI slop is usually so out of place everywhere and it’s quickly gone straight to abused.
ah but what if AI slop Corporate Memphis??
actually that mostly looks accurate lmao except the leaf growing out of the window sill, and the space between blue shirt’s armpit area should probably be white
If it didn’t just mess up, maybe that was intended to be his chair?
could be yea, I think a human artist would have made that more obvious to look intentional, like have the chair poking out to his side and above his shoulder
Reject Corporate Memphis, embrace Frutiger Aero
I never knew either of those things had a name until this thread.
… I put too much effort into this, I’ll have to keep it in my reaction images folder
This is my favourite thing I’ve seen today
I’ve thought a lot about why “corporate Memphis” sucks so much. I think it’s because it comes across as incredibly ingenuine. It communicates a Utopian world free of race and gender gaps, which is demonstrably not the case in reality. In a way, the AI art is more genuine. “We don’t give a fuck, neither do you, buy our stuff”. I feel it speaks to an overall nihilism with the world. I think it’s a part of the disillusionment with the “liberal elite” that we find on the left (and honestly, probably the right too). Corporate Memphis is Nancy Pelosi. AI art is JD Vance. The fact we’re yearning for the former shows how terrible the latter really is.
In my opinion, both Memphis and AI art serve one purpose - to discourage people from thinking for themselves, just in different ways.
Memphis tries to do that by being so inoffensive it becomes background noise of unrealistic features and colors that strip any personality away.
AI art is in turn like art of any authoritarian regime - it must convey a propaganda message, and it should do it so clearly, that even simplest organism can get the message, so yeah - the “art” part is basically lost in the process. And with AI you have a tool to do just that - machine to create amalgamation of images beholder has already seen, essentially also becoming a background noise.
Hmm good analysis
That’s why they say “hell is a bottomless pit”.
No matter how bad it gets, things can ALWAYS get worse.
That was a complete coincidence I posted the Corporate Memphis Saturn Devouring His Son picture as well.
I’ve been commenting “ai slop” on just about every AI ad I get which has led to some of the advertisers looking at my account/stories and commenting on my posts
But guess what? It’s not stopping me!
What are they commenting though ? Do they seem angry?
They’re not angry, to me it feels like a “look at what I can do” but maybe I’m just projecting
No, YOU’RE SLOP!
Maybe I am slop, but at least I’m flesh and bones slop! My incorrect perspective and extra digit laden art uses significantly less water!
Yes. Yes… You see how you slop.
We heard your feedback, and decided to fulfill your request and use AI-slopped corporate memphis
You’re welcome
monkey paw finger curls
OK, now you’re just rubbing the “plagiarism” in my face :P
Lol, I guess it left an impression hours earlier, and I have a goldfish memory… Whoops.
You got lucky, someone got got by a repost of my memes 11 months later.
I’d say I’m missing some context here, but then I’d pass for an LLM asking for more tokens or whatever idk
the links are there, just click them.
2 many linx 4 u : I made a meme, someone responded to the meme. I reposted the meme in response to a post 11 months later, and the same person responded with the same ideas. When I pointed it out they got embarrassed.
I was just making a joke about LLMs, but I did (
- follow the links
- look at both of your post and comment histories
- make a half-assed attempt at matching timestamps
- give up after a few seconds
) out of curiosity; thanks for the TL;DR
I hope people are starting to realize why software engineers don’t handle UX design and why your standard issue middle aged person was not limited by their lack of graphics design skill to create an ad.
Honestly, I hate that corporate art style so much that I still like ai slop better
FYI business owners. You give me slop advertising I will give you no money or time.
The ai slop is closer to comic sans clipart slop and easier to block out than tiny head deformed monstrosities.
I hate corporate memphis so fucking much that I’d reverse this meme.
