Random: These AI Images Of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Cast Are Terrifying

Getting some serious Princess Bean vibes from Anya Taylor-Joy there! Plus, Jack Black... wow... could be an antagonist from the Running Man ^_^

Didn't bug me at all. If anything I don't think it went far enough.

HAHA THE FRED ARMISEN ONE IS AMAZING

Interesting, to say the least. DK looks like Rick Moranis.

I'm ready to see the movie.

please no ai stuff

Taylor-Joy looks awful but Chris Pratt is a smoke show, as usual.

@gojiguy I second this. Why is the site giving attention to AI work? It takes no skill to make any of this.

I think Jack Black looks pretty awesome !

It looks like someone smeared some poo on Jack Black's head.

@MsJubilee They're probably giving it attention because it's a trendy topic, (gotta have them clicks!) but like with NFTs I'm sure it'll fade away.

The Mario movie is being made with such love and detail that I would watch it in theaters day one. If this is how the characters would look, I'd still watch the movie, except maybe a few months after it came out on streaming.

Okay… This looks like the sequel to the 90’s movie that I never knew I wanted.

@MsJubilee it takes a fair bit of skill to programme good AI software

I mean, they could make AI finally cast Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel, but they chose to go through this instead. ¯(ツ)/¯

AI art feels so cold. Even Van Gogh or Frida Kahlo’s work (self portraits) feel cold, still human. Although, I wonder. Would I still feel this way, if I didn’t know? On the flip side, my mindset was not a negative one, when I first heard about AI, art. But my feeling became stronger, the more I looked at it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

THE SETH ROGAN ONE HOLY-

Ugh ai art, letting regulars feel like artists just like auto-tune and garage band let the talentless feel like musicians

@MsJubilee "I second this. Why is the site giving attention to AI work? It takes no skill to make any of this"

Neither does modern art consisting of a blank canvas, a scribble or a banana taped to a wall but that's still considered "art" 🤷‍♂️

Uh… Charlie as Luigi is actually doing things to me.

NL, please, PLEASE don't advertise AI "art". It is INCREDIBLY harmful to artists, using stolen assets and work from those who are actually talented. Companies are already using them to put real artists out of jobs. You can do better.

Third one looks more like Terry Bogard than Mario.

Terifying...? Some of these are amazing!!!

@ParadoxFawkes Almost everyone that makes music uses autotune or a daw what are you waffling about

@Mew hahaha no they do not

You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for promoting AI art. There was literally an article reposted last week as part of your ‘Best of 2022’ series criticising the practice. Talk about gutter journalism.

I like the third one. Three rows of teeth and 15 figures.

Some of these are actually pretty cool

@PBandSmelly Word up. I wish I could upvote you more than 1 time.

@Mew Do they? I am not a musician so I don't have the slightest. Isn't it that many people actually try to do acoustic without any fine tuning? I listen to post rock a lot and it feels human enough

MY EYES

THEIR BURNING screams a lot

I don’t get it? Is the third one supposed to be Mario or Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury? Lol

Looks great! I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.

Great, good to know where are you standing with that crap.

@ComfyAko Not every single person uses autotune, but a ton of genres basically REQUIRE it to some extent, and even the most "raw" music usually still uses an actual daw (like garageband) as @ParadoxFawkes said

@Clyde_Radcliffe The fact you think you're being witty with this, is truly sad.

Imagine if that was what the characters would look like in the movie. The internet will, no doubt, destroy the movie.

@gojiguy I'm only against ai stuff if it's destroying the human artist. For example art competitions or art-sharing websites that allow ai.

Stuff like this is what ai art should be used for. Goofy stuff lol.

Anyone arguing AI isn't the future of digital art is in for a very rude awakening in 5 or so years.

This would be so nice, if any of this took skill. It’s just such a slap in the face, people like me, actually strive to get better, and learn to try to create better pieces of art, people, who have been doing this stuff for years, working on there craft, for people just to show up and call garbage like this art, it’s infuriating, this, all of that, took no skill whatsoever.

@theModestMouse Then we better not hear you complaining about the homogenization of aesthetic styles and a lack of true creativity in a few years as well.

Cranky Kong looks a bit like Rick Moranis.

Terrifying?..not even close. These are not half bad, also some pretty funny.

Man, for some of these, I'm getting a 1993 Mario movie vibe from this. Especially the Jack Black one. He almost looks like someone from Mad Max. I could totally see him as being the villain for a sequel to the 1993 Mario movie, where he's the leader of an anarchist street gang who wants to cause total chaos in Dinohattan after Koopa was overthrown.

I can see it now: even with the King rightfully restored to power, Koopa's overthrow left a power vacuum, since he coalesced so much power around himself, leaving the King and Princess Daisy hard-pressed to restore order. And with many of Dinohattan's police force and military being filled with Koopa loyalists, they're either all in prison, in hiding, or refuse to help.

Then in comes Jack Black's Bowser (although some drafts of the 1993 movie script has the King be named Bowser), leader of a violent street gang, who causes anarchy in the city in his pursuit for total chaos, forcing Princess Daisy to have to come back and ask Mario and Luigi for help, as we saw in the final scene of the original movie.

It's definitely a lot better of an idea than the fever-induced dream I had about a sequel many years ago when I was sick with the flu in 6th Grade. I couldn't tell you much about the dream, but all I could remember was that I was so sick, I even felt nauseous in the dream (as in, the camera motion would make my dream self dizzy), so the other details of the dream escaped me, other than the villain being some other corrupt politician looking to seize power.

@Parker55 I KNOW!!! It's a mastapiece

I hate that Nintendo news sites are pretty much forced to pretend to like Pratt’s Mario.

I don't understand, is that not just a regular picture of Seth Rogen?

This is the perfect storm of strong opinions: AI art and Chris Pratt as Mario..... well played NL, well played!

@Tandoori People already complain enough about that since hey, humans tend to just copy or taken inspiration from one another already.

Oh no these look soo wrong brr.

Why do I like this?

@MsJubilee Its human skill that important for experiencing a work of art? If the product has some beauty, isn't enough?
Enjoy beauty, wherever it comes from... Ive seen worst made by humans.
