Honestly, I hate that corporate art style so much that I still like ai slop better
That's why they say "hell is a bottomless pit".
No matter how bad it gets, things can ALWAYS get worse.
I've thought a lot about why "corporate Memphis" sucks so much. I think it's because it comes across as incredibly ingenuine. It communicates a Utopian world free of race and gender gaps, which is demonstrably not the case in reality. In a way, the AI art is more genuine. "We don't give a fuck, neither do you, buy our stuff". I feel it speaks to an overall nihilism with the world. I think it's a part of the disillusionment with the "liberal elite" that we find on the left (and honestly, probably the right too). Corporate Memphis is Nancy Pelosi. AI art is JD Vance. The fact we're yearning for the former shows how terrible the latter really is.
In my opinion, both Memphis and AI art serve one purpose - to discourage people from thinking for themselves, just in different ways.
Memphis tries to do that by being so inoffensive it becomes background noise of unrealistic features and colors that strip any personality away.
AI art is in turn like art of any authoritarian regime - it must convey a propaganda message, and it should do it so clearly, that even simplest organism can get the message, so yeah - the “art” part is basically lost in the process. And with AI you have a tool to do just that - machine to create amalgamation of images beholder has already seen, essentially also becoming a background noise.
Hmm good analysis
We heard your feedback, and decided to fulfill your request and use AI-slopped corporate memphis
You're welcome
monkey paw finger curls
OK, now you're just rubbing the "plagiarism" in my face :P
Lol, I guess it left an impression hours earlier, and I have a goldfish memory... Whoops.
You got lucky, someone got got by a repost of my memes 11 months later.
I'd say I'm missing some context here, but then I'd pass for an LLM asking for more tokens or whatever idk
I hope people are starting to realize why software engineers don't handle UX design and why your standard issue middle aged person was not limited by their lack of graphics design skill to create an ad.
That was a complete coincidence I posted the Corporate Memphis Saturn Devouring His Son picture as well.
I've been commenting "ai slop" on just about every AI ad I get which has led to some of the advertisers looking at my account/stories and commenting on my posts
But guess what? It's not stopping me!
What are they commenting though ? Do they seem angry?
They're not angry, to me it feels like a "look at what I can do" but maybe I'm just projecting
No, YOU’RE SLOP!
Maybe I am slop, but at least I'm flesh and bones slop! My incorrect perspective and extra digit laden art uses significantly less water!
Yes. Yes… You see how you slop.
Search engines are not really helping me here. Does anyone have real world examples from companies the general public knows that incorporates corporate Memphis? I don't really remember seeing it that often and I feel like maybe I'm on crazy pills
For an example of what these illustrations evolved into look at Firefox.com. But overall they have died not because of AI Slop, but because they got stale and any hangover over the last couple years was from "pre-built" templates.
From personal experience I'd see it in PowerPoints, business to business (B2B) marketing, and a lot of SaS or digital tech products.
A lot of companies in those spaces went abstract or geometric and phased stock photos of people laughing at nothing back into their marketing.
The stock images of people is what these Memphis stick figures replaced because it was easier to spin things up quickly without agonizing over getting photographic diversity, which was kind of a driver at the time.
It's my job to keep an eye on trends.
FYI business owners. You give me slop advertising I will give you no money or time.
The ai slop is closer to comic sans clipart slop and easier to block out than tiny head deformed monstrosities.
I hate corporate memphis so fucking much that I'd reverse this meme.
