I actually don’t particularly care about either one, but some people who hated corporate memphis must be seething at how it got replaced.

    “Corporate Memphis” is just a particular art style that people dislike. “AI-generated images” is not an art style. I assume AI could generate something in Corporate Memphis style if you wanted it to. No one is replacing human-generated Corporate Memphis art with AI-generated art in another style. People choose Corporate Memphis for a reason. If anything, they might choose to use AI-generated Corporate Memphis now that the option exists. But people who would previously use human-generated Corporate Memphis art are not using AI-generated art in some other style now.

      I didn’t know it was called Corporate Memphis! I actually prefer it to endless dead-eyed stock photos, personally. At least someone was experimenting or focused on a goal when making it.

        Yeah, didn’t know it was called either that and like it as well. Maybe because I’ve known it from before it was coopted by evilcorps. I think of it a classic graphic design style used in cool children’s books and on posters.

        nah, it’s supposed to be classy, professional and playful – originally developed to make Facebook seem like less of an evil and soulless corporation
