  • Yeah, that’s called having a life, you should get one.

    Microsoft hasn’t said anything one way or another, but AI generated icons are pretty easy to spot by their artifacts. The shadows are messed up and the gradients are wonky, I use Microsoft products every day and they changed the splash icons in a bunch of their products to this mess.

    Here’s another one:

    The design language is all over the place, elements bleed into each other and the resulting design is nonsensical.

    Your post is:

    • Not interesting

    • Not conducive to discussion

    • Not made by a human

    You have made a generic statement with a very generic, generated image. You have not contributed anything to this community.

    On top of that, there are valid ethical concerns regarding AI image generation, specifically about the training data being stolen content with no attribution or compensation with no regards for licensing, and the technology being used to put artists out of work in favour of cheap-looking, uncanny valley pictures.

    LLMs can be trained ethically (though the vast majority aren’t), but it’s most likely impossible to ethically train text to image models due to the large amount of data required.

    Additionally, commercially run AI models waste an enormous amount of power, and all money invested into these models goes directly into the pockets of American giants and their wealthy owners.

    While I don’t disagree with the essence of your point, keep in mind that “no true Scotsman” is a common thought fallacy, in this case, “no true patriot or nationalist”. You can’t speak for everyone.

    Patriotism is a complex topic, but I think we can all agree that, for example, companies weaseling themselves into the Canadian market under the guise of patriotism is not okay. Intention matters.
