All good, my reply was a bit ambiguous in that concern.

I agree, calling that feature “not AI slop” can only be explained by the fact that he’s the CEO and has to sell that garbage.

I agree with you, this is an AI slop filter, but the main critique I’ve seen was about it changing the piece of art to something the artist didn’t intend (kind of the second half of your reply), that’s why I said he argues against a straw man.

I think the straw man claim was that it’s AI slop, and Huang said we’re wring, because AI is deeply integrated into the rendering pipeline.

What could IS have changed? I mean I’d agree that they are fucked up, but what did they fuck up concerning the current state of the USA? Were you expecting them to create a califate in north america?
