Yep, that's slop alright.
One big tell to me is how highlights always get slightly brighter just before hitting the outline. It's kind of a similar effect to when you turn the sharpness filter up on a TV, and it looks terrible. And yeah, there are a ton of strange noisy messy shape salad parts that are a defining characteristic of "AI" "art".
We need to get a handle on this before it becomes more difficult to distinguish. Companies have demonstrated they will sneak AI assets into development without a second thought.
How is this any worse than airbrushing models and Photoshopping movie posters?
The difference is a person is paid to airbrush or Photoshop. AI analyzed an existing piece of artwork someone created, copied it, then spit out a slightly modified version and called it an original creation.
How many eyebrows does a guy need ffs
Could someone repost the image here? I cannot access it on X.
It’s some ugly slop no matter how it was made. Lot of speculation they took several screenshots or renders and asked AI to cartoonify and upscale.
Wow what the hell is going on behind Goofy?
I hate how the sora faces are all at the same angle despite their bodies being different. Even if they had a real person make this if they did it the same it would still look terrible.
I'm a bit torn on it tbh because it looks like how Nomura usually designs his characters.
The image seems to be completely absent from the article. Not even a link.
It is not embedded in the article, but shown through an embedded X message, hence my comment.
Kingdom Hearts has been slop from day 1. Now it’s also artificial in nature.
Fully agree BUT as an ARPG it had nice gameplay at the time, especially the second one. The PSP one was nice too.
Nintendo don't use generative LLMs because of the copyright issues. Disney are even more lawyertastic than Nintendo. Hopefully a small batallion of Disney's lawyers will show up at Squenix's offices and tell them to cut that crap out.
Didn’t Disney buy an ai company or something to put a generator into their Disney+ app?
They had made a deal with OpenAI I think.
Weren’t there suspicions that Wish (a major Disney movie that flopped hard) was largely AI generated? I don’t think Disney has too many objections to AI use…
Oofta, these companies just don't fucking learn. Of course, Square Enix already wants to use LLMs for QA, it doesn't surprise me that they'd try to create character assets using slop generators. Gross behavior, a reason why I haven't been buying any of the recent Square Enix games in fact. Their commitment to slop is too high and I wish they'd pay for it dearly.
Sadly they don’t learn a hard enough lesson. They’ll still make money off of it, people will still buy it, and the company will milk the cow to the bones all the while.
This is why i think i won’t ever play games after 2019 ish. Or really listen to any music made after that either unless I really know the artist (I prefer most music from 70s to 90s anyway save for a select few) I cannot trust them and will not give in to slop.
No surprise after the 3rd quality.

What really pisses me off here is that this is the butchery of an actual art piece. They had a fantastic work but they wanted to shift the characters around a little for box art and had an AI do it.
