@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 @sundogplanets @davidaugust @unlambda yeah, Canva is AI based

@davidaugust @liquor_american @trevorparker
Yeah, the whole company is a generative AI company. Sorry. That's their selling point and base technology.
@ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
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.

edit: messed up and replaced image with a fixed image. I stumbled, foolishly, into using an AI filter I thought, foolishly, was a traditional style image filter.

David, I believe you would never mean to do it but this is AI art. -

@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-

@ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker what tghe actual F. DID I GET FAKED THE F OUT?!?!?
Why the F isn't it a filter like photoshop and other apps have had for decades. WHAT THE F!!!!!!!!
Did I really fuck up and stumble into using AI. GOD FU- *metaphorically throws laptop because I can;t afford to do that*
I better not run into anyone who works for Canva in the next hour..............
@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.

Thank you.

@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."

@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.

@liquor_american @ai6yr @trevorparker
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.

I do not enjoy messing up, no one really does, but I tried to double down...

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.
