– The backlash over the AI-generated Coca-Cola ad led to discussions about the creative industry’s broader relationship with AI.<\/p>\n

– There\u2019s a current trend leaning towards \u201canti-slop\u201d aesthetics, favoring handmade, primitive, and deliberately sloppy designs as a reaction against AI-generated slick and hyper- realistic work.<\/p>\n

– Designer Michael Schmelling\u2019s covers for Roberto Bola\u00f1o\u2019s novels are highlighted for their hand-crafted, primitive style deliberately contrasting with AI-generated work, despite negative opinions from some quarters.<\/p>\n

– Stoopid Buddy Stoodios doesn\u2019t oppose AI tools entirely but prefers maintaining human touch in storytelling.<\/p>\n

– The rise of AI in art and design is likened to past movements like Impressionism, suggesting it may encourage more unique, human-centric creativity.<\/p>\n
