@davidaugust @liquor_american @ai6yr @trevorparker How do you think style matching filters work?
They are generative AI.
"Style Match uses AI to change how your photo looks. When you apply styles to photos of people, facial features or skin tones may look different. Try a different style or report the content if results are unexpected."

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @liquor_american@universeodon.com @trevorparker@hachyderm.io it didn't used to be....they had been a fairly traditional graphics package and I, obviously, engagingly and embarrassingly, didn't realize how deeply in their interface the AI had gone. My foolishness. This is gonna hang on me for a while. God F-ing damn it. So humiliating. Now to purge the drivel I foolishly spewed.

@davidaugust
Nice edit
@RnDanger thank you.
I still almost can't believe I've done this. Le sigh.

@ai6yr @sundogplanets @davidaugust It's even documented as such: https://www.canva.com/help/style-match/#why-does-my-photo-look-different-after-applying-a-style-
@unlambda @ai6yr @sundogplanets Yeah. I borked up.

@davidaugust @ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
It's not just Canva. I do work for a bunch of different companies and there's a ton of AI shit built into their systems now. I just ripped one out that used a google document AI tool to get the text out of a PDF. I replaced it with a simple script. I admit, I then left the AI summary crap there, but at least 99% of the AI work was removed.It's everywhere. Hard Coded in.
I try to keep it extremely limited, warning them that this shit is going to be 100x more expensive the moment a "winner" is picked from all these AI companies, but they love getting results ASAP..... even if they're wrong.

@coldfish @ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
Yeah... the depth I, clearly, didn't fully internalize the reality of.
I am learning, the hard way, one needs to (by one I mean I) scrutinize further and protect one's projects from the collapse and when a "winner" is picked to try to avoid future maintenance issues.

I have replaced the image and edited the original post. It may take time to propagate.
I messed up.

I really appreciate and relate to your reaction here.

@davidaugust @liquor_american @sundogplanets @unlambda I appreciate you and respect you, but I have to very much disagree... that tool is a Generative AI tool. The entire tool is AI, and all their graphics tools are generative AI, as well. It's very hard for many users to see that's what's happening under the cover

@ai6yr @liquor_american @sundogplanets @unlambda
Yeah. I f-ed up.

@JMMaok thank you May you never put this much mistake and egg on your own face.
I do not enjoy messing up, no one really does, but I tried to double down...
Much facepalm.

@sarae @ai6yr @sundogplanets @unlambda
now I know, so embarrassed I didn't fully get it before. Gonna have to purge my data from their systems.
Thank you.
@davidaugust @ai6yr @sundogplanets @unlambda yeah, work is encouraging us to use it and I'm super unenthusiastic and trying to find workarounds
I don't think it gives the kind of professional impression I want to make with my work

@davidaugust @sarae @ai6yr @sundogplanets Yeah, it's a bummer. It's being integrated into so many systems these days.
Thanks for being responsive to feedback!

@sarae @ai6yr @sundogplanets @unlambda
Yeah, we all are facing a tough moment where orgs/companies and others may encourage or require certain workflows that are made brittle or problematic by integrating systems with this stuff foundationally built in.

@davidaugust @unlambda @ai6yr May I offer you a pile of super cute goats as a consolation prize?

@sundogplanets @unlambda @ai6yr
YES! Thank you. Quite welcome.
Still almost can't believe I not only got it wrong but I doubled and kinda tripled down on my wrong. Humiliation is mine, goats help.
Thank you very much!

@sundogplanets @davidaugust @ai6yr I'll see your goats, and raise you a couple of bunnies.

@unlambda @sarae @ai6yr @sundogplanets
Happy to be responding, not so happy I got this way wrong and doubled and tripled down. Oops.
The problem was decidedly between the chair and the keyboard over here, I borked up, the call came from inside my cranium.

@davidaugust @unlambda @sundogplanets @ai6yr I appreciate this whole thread actually. Well done humans on detecting, correcting and forgiving. Adding a lupin to the goats and bunnies of forgiveness.

@sundogplanets @davidaugust @unlambda I suspect the "filter" you used is actually AI, as well. Which is typical nowadays. It's been asked to redraw the original image in a different style, and it's not "filtering", it's AI slopping it.


@ai6yr
Well, yes. See for example the screw on the scissors to the left. No filter in the old sense of the word would come from the original photo to the "filtered" result.
