But you gotta admit, some of these fillings were impressive

The work done by the Photoshop devs is extraordinary. The artistry by some of the people creating these illustrations is similarly excellent.

These bullshit copy-paste threads from AI "influencers" and devrel hacks are a scourge - bandwagon "content" from people who produce nothing of value themselves other than tricking people into buying what I can only assume is $500 video courses repackaging 6 month old blog articles from someone else.

Blame the Twitter algorithm.

There are courses about "how to go viral on Twitter" that work, because the algo is so cookie-cutter and easily gamed. Back in 2022, it was the "collect list of useful links, add 5 of them to a tweet at a time, and make it a viral thread with that annoying finger pointing down emoji"

I have about 20 AI influencers blocked which cuts down the noise a ton, and of course this one showed up.

I think they are all created Nov 2022 or later, or were previously "here's a list" hustlers and pseudo entrepreneurs.

i see lots of theft too, even on Linkedin under their name they just post someone else's AI montage videos to score a like or two for their own worthless self. people are nuts.

Not to be all hipster, but outpainting was available in Dall-E in April 2022. Impressive, yes, but not really all that novel. I did this a year ago: https://www.artstyle.ai/uncropping-movie-posters/

Or cherry picked by influencers paid by Adobe
