I asked ChatGPT to imagine pretty much the same scene as that top drawing. It's such a great example of LLM's - having zero understanding of the real world - has the racoons looking at the computer but from behind it. https://sdmntprwestus.oaiusercontent.com/files/00000000-c810...
The AI-generated raccoon in 2024 sure is a gut punch after seeing the lovingly rendered art from yesteryear. Completely devoid of the personality of the originals, even in the Christmas card, he can only dream of living up to the standard they set.
There's an inconsistent mix of human hands and raccoon paws in the same image. I thought diffusion models could do inpainting of pre-existing images. If somebody actually cared they could have picked one and erased and regenerated the other.
So I am suspicious something else is going on to produce the overall uncanny effect of wrongness: possibly they used Photoshop to paste on a bunch of unrelated images to some low-quality stock-art backgrounds?
Feeling cognitive dissonance given this is making me feel nostalgic for advertising.
True, before was cool to see the ads. Now, skip all!
Like Christ. I wouldn't be as anti-ad as I am if it didn't feel like I was being screeched at continuously from when I wake to when I sleep to BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

There are ML upscalers optimized for illustrations you can run locally for these scenarios. Doesn't require bleeding edge hardware either.

If you mean https://i0.wp.com/technologizer.com/home/wp-content/uploads/... It's definitely a weird image. The hands are oddly accurate, and the geometry in the background is also unusually straight and correct for a low-end corporate 2024 Bing DALL-E or Stable Diffusion slop image. And in the bottom image, the food is way too sharp, and the sci-fi text UI is also way too accurate. So I am suspicious something else i…
