They 100% look photoshopped at least. The details are too smooth.

I think this says more about the Moderator of r/Art than the devaluing of art.
The artist deserves an apology from the anonymous Mod and reinstated in the sub.
The fact that generative art is being called out is because it can be produced with nothing more than a few prompts.
If generative art wants to be taken seriously, it needs to be presented transparently, as being produced by an algorithm - not touted as human-created. But people will - and do - take credit for things that they have not made.
The real issue here is the drive to monetise generative art for corporations and individuals who see a cheap and easy way to make a profit.

By next month you won't be able to tell.
That's the point of AI, it learns, constantly. Give it a year and you will not be able to tell fake from real.

From everything I heard, Windows phones we’re pretty great; just no one was buying them.

Nokia hasn't made a phone in about a decade. Anything with their name on it in that timeframe was a licensing deal. They dropped smartphones a long time ago, and they don't think the phones with their licensed branding hurts their core brand in core market of network infrastructure.

I would like to see Nokia get into the nuclear bomb shelter business.

Oof. That logo isn't quite as bad as the new Kia logo, but it's close.

Your use of 'could' seems misplaced. They haven't made a phone in a decade, and have a revenue of 22B euros. I think that's not quite as speculative as you're implying.
Their largest business sector is networking equipment, where it is a major competitor to Cisco and Huawei. It's building a big chunk of America's 5G rollout.

I would love to believe that was the case, but we already reached the point where human artists are getting banned for creating art that happens to looks like AI generated art.

Reply to Bi-Weekly /r/Technology Tech Support / General Discussion Thread. Have you a tech question or want to discuss tech? by veritanuda
Sorry if this is one of those questions everyone asks, but I want some real answers from real people.
I’m mid 30’s. Recently laid off from a sales job. Always had interest in tech but never committed to the appropriate classes in college. Ended up getting a Masters degree in Health Sciences (think kickball and weight lifting).
If I were to pivot my career into tech, what would be the most lucrative and time efficient way to do so? Do I need more schooling? Can I study myself and amass certifications? I’m lost and don’t have anyone in the industry to talk with.
TIA to anyone willing to comment. Love you long time.

hahahahahah brilliant, you have no clue hence your clueless statement
>Just get it now. There's nothing wrong with it unless your computer doesn't meet minimum requirements. Which are high compared to majority of previous games but it runs well.
You clearly have no clue what you are talking about

Tesla didn't experience sustained growth until they'd been at it for 5 years. Give Ford a few years as they transition to a more EV focused model and they will absolutely catch-up if not surpass Tesla.

There are two factors at play here
First, even when engineers try to make honest estimates, unexpected difficulties arise that raise costs
Second, managers often knowingly make dishonest estimates to win contracts

Who wrote this article?! Nokia doesn't make phone. They have licensed the brand name for a while. Nokia is in the network infrastructure business for both mobile, optics and fixed networks. They also have cloud & software products built for networks.

Yeah I may have wasted money trying to save money but with my income I felt sick signing for 25k or more.

I seriously doubt this guy became a super duper internet pooperstar because of these portraits. Not out of realism but because they’re random portraits. Else it might really be that easy to grab a bunch of peoples attention on that platform while remaining extremely forgettable.

But for some applications that doesn't matter. Say I want a stock photo of some interns working in a generic office for an email or website about internships my work is offering. I don't really care if anyone can use them if it cost me nothing but a few minutes of time to generate the image. But now I don't have to pay to use stock photography, and can also have it somewhat customized to my needs.
There's a lot of focus on art and academics for AI images and text, but the real application is going to be boring office shit.
