Any proof at all this is AI art or are we just calling any stylized art “AI” now baselessly?
I squinted at these cans for a minute and a bit, saw nothing that looked like AI artifacts.
Post your actual proof, otherwise, stop spreading disinformation.
In this day and age, we need to appear drummer than AI.
Hey! He used a semicolon! AI generated!
Unironically em dashes are pretty useful—now that I know how to use them.
Second one from the left is obvious slop. I’ve stopped there, but I haven’t seen anything in particular with the rest of them. They still trigger my vibe check detection of AI, but I couldn’t really tell you why. But after seeing just the second one be clearly AI, I don’t trust the rest.
Good news regarding your ‘vibe check detection’. Like so many other people, it’s no better than random guessing. Refer to the other comment with evidence these are images from real people.
obvious slop
So your source is “I made it the fuck up”?
Stop spreading disinformation.
Some has a color scheme similar to the AI piss filter, expect seem like they’re intentional color scheme rather than being a byproduct of AI inbreeding.
Where do you think the AI piss filter came from…?
Its trained on a bunch of existing artists work…
Nothing on these cans indicates AI to me.
While I agree the price is ridiculous (especially as a non drinker lol) I’m not convinced it’s AI. Looking up Brewskey on an image search, you can find images of similar cans going back 3yrs. Very diverse styles, with common themes of monocle and hops.
That said, trying to find literally any info on artists both past and present is proving difficult. Most info is just about how they make their IPAs and any mention of art is all “the art of brewing” which isn’t what I’m after. There are quite a few beer can artists out there though so I bet someone willing to search Instagram or something might be able to find an artist who contributed to Brewskey.
I think the worst thing to come out of this AI thing is how all the conspiracy theorists now have a new target, calling everything AI without even understanding what it means or how to tell what’s AI. Somebody here even posted the contact info, and now the brewer has to deal with that shit.
They have a saying in politics that if you’re explaining, then you’re losing. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t something similar in marketing.
If you’re an unethical participant in some industry, and your competitor has some distinctive-looking artwork on their product, all you have to do is make a few anonymous posts that the artwork is AI, and boy, howdy, that BS is bound to spread itself to all the mainstream sites via conspiracy theorists.
while I take your point, the worst thing to come out of AI is a toss up between pollution and mass unemployment.
Unfortunately, this is quite the common price range for imported North American beers over here in the Netherlands (where the photo is from, if it’s not Belgium). I wouldn’t spend over €10 for a regular IPA, but I see Triple IPA’s as well and I would occasionaly pay that much for one of those, although I prefer stout beers. The North American IPA’s and stouts that we get over here are often outstanding. I assume we mostly get the good stuff here since the cans will be expensive regardless.
These prices include a 21% VAT as well as an excise tax. The latter is based on the alcohol percentage of the beer (higher percentage -> higher tax). Add the fact that it’s imported from across the ocean and you end up with very high prices. Being a beer lover these days is an expensive undertaking.
Regarding the AI topic, I’ve seen cans with these kinds of designs for over a decade in the beer specialty stores and would not accept them being labeled AI generated when from an established brewer without some decent evidence.
It sucks that so many art styles just seems AI now even though most likely AI art was trained on them to look that way. I have pictures I printed and laminated years ago for work related things and people have frequently insisted that they are AI… These give me the same vibe
Looked up the beer and from untappd almost all the beer averages a 4.2 which is VERY good and generally is a good indication that it’s gonna be worth a try. If I find beer in the store that shows that rating I am most likely going to buy it. That price is ridiculous though, I would probably try one just to see but i cant afford those prices regularly. Im more of a 1 $20 4 pack every 4 months or so kind of guy these days.
The beer is probably the best on the island along with Messorem. Well worth a try.
That might or might not be quite expensive, depending on the currency.
Given the Dutch on the price labels I’m guessing Euros
Explain why you think this is ai.
This kind of baseless accusation of “AI slop” is actually harmful to legitimate businesses. The brewery in question, which I know well (based in Montreal, Canada), has this visual identity from way before genAI was commonplace.

Look, I hate AI just like the next person but we have to be more responsible. You are accusing or assuming something based on nothing. This could backfire and actually harm a real artist. Do better people.
I just reposted from reddit because I thought it was interesting. but good to know its not ai
We need a tag then because I wouldn’t even have open this if it had a reddit tag
No dear words may express the sorrow… the disgust about these awful LLM/“AI” nonsense of effortless, bloody dark void sorrow… of dead white noise shaped from meat-ground artworks, effort, and love… of now defaced/unknown artists… in the datasets of these LLMs now sold by vendors…

Um.sure
Honestly - wth are those prices. Crime against humanity
Judging from the french language on the cans, I suspect this is the price in Canadian Pesos, not USD. But still expensive yes.
I already don’t drink but if I did I’d take that horrible pisswater Corona Lime over this garbage any day of the week.
From there, the AI can fully take over and use the sales numbers and additionally bought user data to iteratively improve the pictures until people buy a can for $20 and don’t know why.
Sad to see them use AI on all their cans, their beer is excellent.
$11 pints they better be superb mate.
As a beer enjoyer, i’m definitely interested but it doesn’t look like I can get their stuff in my area.
Is that AI Gordon Freeman on the right?
Some of those are AI generated, other’s aren’t. N2 is AI for sure, N5 also raises some eyebrows.

This is false.
The brewery has apparently used this art style for years. It’s made by human artists.
The original Reddit thread this is a copy of has been deleted. I would assume for this reason.
Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 2 weeks ago
Absolutely not. Brewskey uses AI on all its cans.
breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’ve seen no evidence that they have, only people insisting it’s AI without evidence. If you have evidence, share it. Otherwise, they’re a small brewery and don’t deserve to be targeted with a misinformation campaign.
FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 weeks ago
Do you have any source on that? Like some names of the artists or products from years past?
