@davidaugust @ai6yr @trevorparker My friend, have you investigated how "style match" in Canva works?
Edit.. from the horse's mouth: "Style Match is part of the Canva AI ecosystem" https://www.canva.com/help/style-match/

@liquor_american @davidaugust @trevorparker Yeah, this is AI restyling for sure... it's not traditional filtering , it's generative AI. You can take any photo from the web and "Copy art style" and it will regenerate your photo in that art style... i.e. Manga, etc.
@ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker what tghe actual F. DID I GET FAKED THE F OUT?!?!?
Why the F isn't it a filter like photoshop and other apps have had for decades. WHAT THE F!!!!!!!!
Did I really fuck up and stumble into using AI. GOD FU- *metaphorically throws laptop because I can;t afford to do that*
I better not run into anyone who works for Canva in the next hour..............
@davidaugust @ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
It's not just Canva. I do work for a bunch of different companies and there's a ton of AI shit built into their systems now. I just ripped one out that used a google document AI tool to get the text out of a PDF. I replaced it with a simple script. I admit, I then left the AI summary crap there, but at least 99% of the AI work was removed.
It's everywhere. Hard Coded in.
I try to keep it extremely limited, warning them that this shit is going to be 100x more expensive the moment a "winner" is picked from all these AI companies, but they love getting results ASAP..... even if they're wrong. 🤷
@coldfish @ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
Yeah... the depth I, clearly, didn't fully internalize the reality of.
I am learning, the hard way, one needs to (by one I mean I) scrutinize further and protect one's projects from the collapse and when a "winner" is picked to try to avoid future maintenance issues.
@davidaugust @liquor_american @trevorparker
Yeah, the whole company is a generative AI company. Sorry. That's their selling point and base technology.
@ai6yr @liquor_american @trevorparker
it didn't used to be....they had been a fairly traditional graphics package and I, obviously, engagingly and embarrassingly, didn't realize how deeply in their interface the AI had gone. My foolishness.
This is gonna hang on me for a while. God F-ing damn it.
So humiliating. Now to purge the drivel I foolishly spewed.
