It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I know a few graphic designers and they're STRUGGLING for work right now. It's horrible out there for them. They're available! They will absolutely make great graphics! But yeah you do kinda have to pay them and capitalists hate paying people so here we are

I mean I'm presuming they're paying this guy, it's just apparently to argue with a computer a lot.

This is what "technology = good" gets you in the end. You pay a guy to argue with a computer for no discernible reason when you could just pay some guy to do thing, and it's all because technology is understood as magic better thing instead of, you know, what it is, and it AI is fucking terrible at concept art as @thisonethatone points out

also there could even be a middle ground if the issue is adjustments a graphic designer could make the adjustments

As someone who has commissioned artwork and who has tried out the AI """art""" generators... it doesn't even begin to compare. The only way I can possibly imagine someone thinking an AI """art""" generator could replace real artists is if they've never ever worked with any artist ever.
