TSN producer claims attempt at an AI-generated commercial did not, uh, go as intended.

This is an illustration of an AI "hallucinating." Certainly, I felt like I was hallucinating while watching it.

Seems like a pretty basic error of the AI confusing Blue Jays fans with Cubs fans.

Every time I see one of these AI-generated videos, I can't decide whether I'm grateful that I've never taken LSD, or remorseful that I've never tried LSD.

Unironically a better argument for 'AI art' as art ('''art''') then all the more ostensibly respectable attempts at the three letter words from techbros with such a myopic conception of the twrm.

Someone was selling shirts with the logo. I'm not sure if they still are.
It reminds me of a picture by an AI posted on Reddit, which looked fine, if you just glanced at it, but the more you looked at it, the more wrong you saw.

Y'know, I'd actually watch commercials willingly if they were all at least this unhinged. Rule #1 of advertising is to be unforgettable, and I guarantee anyone who watches that will not forget it, or "lets go Blue Jays" echoing through their mind during the dénouement of... whatever that was.

So it's interesting to see that the long-awaited sequel to Brian Yuzna's Society is apparently going to be a sports film.
Appropriate to set it in David Cronenberg's home town.

It seems like this kind of "fake AI", right? I buy that the images were produced by AI using a really high number of human prompts of incredible specificity, but not that it was spit out whole.

Ok, so hear me out:
These things heavily tickle the uncanny valley response, right? And prevailing theories about UV say that you can get to the south of the problem by making things more 'cartoony' (read: representational in an Understanding Comics kinda way). BUT basic intuition tells us that AI generated cartoons (or cartoon versions of...this) would be equally disturbing. Not that I wouldn't love to see some examples. But this seems to be a fruitful vector for improving AI and/or examining basic human aesthetics. At what level of abstraction does this imagery stop being nightmarish on a guttural level?
Worst case scenario, should make for some good music videos and probably act as a great time stamp for future folks.

This seems like a good prompt (heh) for something that - months later, so ancient in AI circles - remains my favorite example of human creative brilliance paired with the purest fucking acid trip flavor of generative art (NSFW in the “extremely brief flashes of acid trip nudity when the AI feedback loop hits a peak” sense, sound absolutely required fo fully appreciate).
So fucking good.

Hm. I had a look at the Blue Jays promotional days schedule, and didn't see Eldritch Horrors and Gouting Ichor Day.
But judging by the video, it might overlap with $1 Hot Dog Night?

when asked for a joke, ChatGPT frequently returns, "Why did the tomato turn red? / Because it saw the salad dressing."
