SURVIVAL HORROR IN THE ALPS FFS! No AI slop in my game... For your consideration: Mundaun - a lovingly hand-pencilled horror tale. It's at 93% positive on Steam. It's on a steep sale right now. All human made. Sound. Voice acting in a language I don't even speak! BUY IT -> SUPPORT HUMAN (me)

Self-Published Saturday: Wesley Griffith's THE JUMP is a stellar NSFW crime comic

The Jump by Wesley Griffith is a grimy crime story, and we're featuring as the first in a new regular series about self-published comics.

might mess around and start a semi regular “what’s cool in self-published comics” column for The Beat 🤔

21 year old and 17 year old son and they instantly dismiss ai slop for what it is. Reminded of Agnes quote in Batman “you think darkness is your ally [but] I was born in it. Moulded by it.”

I find this completely believable. I’m on the top end of gen-Z but I find people in my age group and younger spot AI imagery instantly and it’s often taken as an indicator of corporate insincerity. Meanwhile a lot of older people I know can’t tell the difference and workplace management pushes it.

r/marketing u/Objective-Feed7250 Gen Z can spot lazy AI images and it’s hurting conversion rates Discussion New consumer trust report came out. 78% of Gen Z can identify AI generated images and will scroll past them. Been running ads for an apparel brand targeting 18 to 25 year olds. Our CTR dropped 40% after we switched to AI generated lifestyle shots. The images looked fine to me. Models wearing the clothes, decent lighting, no obvious errors. But apparently Gen Z can tell. Went back to real product photos and performance recovered. Not fully but better than the AI stuff. The report mentioned things like lighting inconsistencies and unnatural shadows. Stuff that’s not obvious unless you’re looking for it. AI images probably work for some audiences but not others. Older demographics might not notice or care as much. Edit: for graphics and layouts i use X-Design since you control the inputs. But for photography targeting younger audiences, real still wins.

I'll be at my publisher's table (Lev Gleason/New Friday) this weekend at Comicon in Toronto. This is the first time I table at one of these events and I just don't know how my stuff fits into a con setting vs indie comic festivals. Come through if you can!
