For fucks sake Disney? Too tight to pay a respectable artist?

    I’m not convinced this is AI. If it was straight AI, there would be a lot more issues. Zoom in on any AI crowd and things go to hell quickly.

    My guess is that this is a highly composited image with a handful of old fashioned human Photoshop errors.

      There’s too many issues with the image. For example, why does the brown coat have buttons when it looks like a poncho?

        Most of these “issues” are terrible arguments:

        1. AI doesn’t duplicate heads. That’s kind of the whole point of AI. You know what does duplicate features? Lazy compositing.

        2. It’s a retro-future movie. That’s a retro-future outfit.

        3. and 9) Extras don’t know how to use 70 year old props? This is surprising?

        4. We’re going to call out grammar errors, but ignore the flawless pencil drawing of the logo on the other poster?

          This is a good argument. But they could simply have fixed the grammar errors in edit. That would also explain the cloned heads used to cover something else. Also, there are a couple of suspicious hands. Still, i’m not 100% sure.

            It’s also possible that “We 4 You!” is the intended message. Like if it’s that obvious, do you think the guy who had to add “prepare 4 launch” wouldn’t have noticed it and fixed it? Clearly some post-processing happened here.

              I read that as “We O(we) U” and to make it fit the theme they painted a 4 in the middle.

      The fact that its even debatable if this is AI or not is concerning. What is generated and what is real anymore? Is this the Matrix? Can I take the blue pill and forget?!

        I find this argument a little disingenuous. Debatable is subjective. Someone might just have a really, really poor argument. Not much of a debate. Like depending on who you ask, the authenticity of the Moon landing is debatable.

        The upper-most finger on the hand isn’t an index finger. See where it lands on the palm? The original hand was pointing and they poorly shopped it to make it look like it was holding something cutting off the index finger.

      Absolutely. There are no signs to me that this is AI. This is comped by some artist either with stock photography or with material from the set.
