USL Eugene used AI-generated images of their own stadium to promote the club's launch event, and are deleting comments critical of it.

[u/insert-originality]

the way people will defend AI generated anything like it's their own child is pure insanity to me.

[u/ConfidentCat4802]

Yikes, those are badly generated AI images

[u/MAINEiac4434 → u/ConfidentCat4802]

Clearly used a free service. Couldn't even be fucked to pay $20 for a halfway decent one.

[u/hkhamm]

Damn that sucks, let’s reach out to club and let them know we don’t support this

[u/StuBeck → u/hkhamm]

It seems they would just delete it

[u/AtlantanKnight7]

I wish they stuck with the “Lane United” branding

[u/Juicey_J_Hammerman]

I don’t inherently hate AI generated stuff. But I’m genuinely amazed at how much stuff people put out without doing any QA/QC or touching up.

[u/homelessphone]

Well that doesn't show confidence in the club

[u/sasquatch0_0]

There's a time and place to use AI imagery, and it's not to be used in place of something that will exist or already exists.

[u/ColeTrain4EVER]

They blocked me for asking about it? Tf?

[u/Cyberseclearner]

What a non issue

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/Cyberseclearner]

AI Slop is always slop

[u/iheartdev247]

Isn’t there other things more important to get upset about? Happy this grassroots group will have a cool stadium to play in soon.

[u/dagreek_legacy → u/iheartdev247]

I personally find it to be an improper use of the tool. Renderings such as these need to be made by a human artist, not a computer trained on things that the original artist probably wasn't paid for in the very least

[u/artiesongcomics → u/iheartdev247]

If their reaction to criticism about a supposedly minor issue is to censor it, how will they handle criticism if a "more important" issue does arise ?

[u/psuedonymousauthor → u/iheartdev247]

if nothing else AI art just comes across as super un-professional

[u/kilwag → u/iheartdev247]

The way they handle dissenting voices says a lot about the people running the club. Perhaps they went to the Timbers for training...

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/iheartdev247]

AI slop is always slop.

KIDSFlOATS

[u/Demon-]

Lmao at least buy the two week free trial and clean it up a bit

[u/Is2Easy]

Yikes

[u/KokonutMonkey]

Yikes. 

All they had to do was nothing. 

[u/duckfan541o]

I thought they were showing a previous conceptual design of what Civic Stadium would maybe look like. I was a tad confused though.

Let’s all just celebrate that it never ended up being a Fred Meyer.

[u/HockeyIsATrashSport]

meh renderings always miss what they actually look like, too.

[u/The1percent1129]

The only obvious ai I saw as the stands with fans in it wearing blue… their stadium was burnt down. This is a non issue, them using AI DOESN’T equate to how reliable the organization will be. Your comment was deleted because it brought a negative vibe… that wasn’t needed. I’m not in Oregon and didn’t like how Lane was being rebranded but once seeing their posts and how they want to move forward and hearing the horrible situation with the old burnt down stadium I wish the team well. I noticed they used the same song on their last 2 posts… I could have called them out for being lazy… did I? No. Because there are more important things to have a cry over. But in the end people will find any reason to get up in arms over small things. Be happy they’re even going up to USL1… “I love cascade” proceeds to bash them on their their post. On their launch? That’s in bad taste mate.

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/The1percent1129]

AI Slop is always slop

[u/kilwag → u/The1percent1129]

Deleting a comment because they don't like the vibe is beyond lame, and a losing battle. It's called "social" media for a reason.

[u/twoslow]

they're allowed to delete whatever they want.

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/twoslow]

And AI Slop is always slop.

[u/twoslow → u/ColeTrain4EVER]

maybe? is it worth posting this on EVERY FUCKING SOCCER PLATFORM in existence? jeebus. talk about butt hurt over some deleted comments.

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/twoslow]

👍

[u/Fjordice]

This is super cringey....I mean the reaction to it. Why is everyone so whiney about this and feels like the club owes them an apology lol. And then there's the AI slop is slop guy lol. Such a non issue, chill

[u/oleslewfoot15]

Who gives a shit? Talk about a non issue.

[u/ColeTrain4EVER → u/oleslewfoot15]

AI Slop is always slop.
