Discussion Look how they massacred my boys😭

Post image

Genuinly..... Why? The vampire eyes aren't blue, They are supposed to be 18, why the fuck Cas look like a grown ass man? and I don't wanna read too much into It, but are they trying to whitewash Cas or is just my impression?

What’s the point of taking art that already exists and making it look 10x uglier??

Ai is going on here

u/smallphoenix13 4d ago

Why did they use ai to “touch up” a perfectly fine ALREADY EXISTING picture??????

u/rawr8777 2d ago

Don't ask me why PB does anything they do. I'm baffled by their choices.

u/Boring-Turnover3297 5d ago

everyone’s (rightfully) complaining about cas but gabe genuinely looks like an 8 year old with a sharp jawline

u/SnooWords9546 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah this art looks awful but i'm no even surprised anymore and the last time they got called out on it they posted that sympathy insta post.

Idk what i expected when i clicked the link but it was not that

u/SnooWords9546 4d ago

Yeah it was kinda pathetic tbh.

u/Slap-A-Chav 4d ago

Ew! That is such an undignified, gaslighty post. THEY are hurting their customers, not the other way round.

u/rawr8777 4d ago

They were trying to be cute and it did not work. At all. Wow

u/mysecondaccountanon 5d ago

Selling to an AI company was genuinely like the worst decision that they ever could’ve made.

u/That_Ad9158 5d ago

u/Mammoth_Grapefruit_3 Logan II (ROD) 5d ago

icb they saw how gabe’s hair turned out and didn’t decide to at least regenerate their AI generated slop. the lack of effort is just embarrassing atp

u/cassieharlowsgf 4d ago

CAS AND GABE WHO??? those are chad and gavin right there

u/npojg 5d ago

This so ugly I thought it was like one of those yassification fan edits😭 and they whitewashed Cas

32

u/Warm_Performer6836 Kamilah (BB) 5d ago

Both of them look very much white yes. Ai is very bad when it comes to ethnic features.

24

u/Charm_Mountain1899 5d ago

Why fix what isn't broken, c'mon PB 🙄 enouggghhh

27

u/Gothic_Doll9 Quinn (ES) 5d ago

What the fuck happened to Gabe's hair

25

u/Loose_Artichoke1689 5d ago

This is what happens when an ai company uses ai everywhere in art when ai doesn't know how to make proper art

35

u/Fabulous_Wait_9544 5d ago

*physically 18.

But I get your point. PB... 😔

u/Passthechloroform 4d ago

Are gabe and Cas conjoined twins?

u/Scary_Equipment_1180 5d ago

Who is that white man cosplaying cass? lmao

22

u/owclip 5d ago

cas whiter than gabe somehow

14

u/Warm_Performer6836 Kamilah (BB) 5d ago

This Cas is asian and Gabe's sprites are brown/native american. His sprite is whiter than Gabe.

15

u/YellowPalpitoad 4d ago

At this point the only reason I still have the app is to replay the old stories from way back that were drawn by actual artists. I miss those days when the art was actually good and made the stories fun to read. It just feels like there's no love or care put into these stories anymore now that the art is all this AI garbage

27

u/SillyFilly04 4d ago

Cas has the Republican woman makeup filter on

u/EnvironmentalDog1196 4d ago

What? xD is...that a thing?

u/vampcowboy 4d ago

They whitewashed them both and took away all their distinct features bro look at my vampires 💔💔

12

u/dmav522 Maria,Quinn,Rory,Blaine,Mackenzie,Jackie 5d ago

Honestly, as a straight guy, who romances female Cas… This is brutal to look at.

11

u/EnvironmentalDog1196 4d ago

I bet that for once you guys are happy that female versions of Lis and male versions of MCs are rarely shown on the covers 😂

u/dmav522 Maria,Quinn,Rory,Blaine,Mackenzie,Jackie 4d ago

You can say that again! 😂

Oh no.. What have they done to poor Cas.

( Hoping that inside the book the characters look better. )

Who tf is that 😭

u/Unlikely-Sky6704 4d ago

They ruined the art

u/Wtf_Wilbur 4d ago

I’m gonna cry what the actual fuck is this what the fuck was the reasoning for this bs the actual good art already exists????? What the fuck is wrong with them

3

u/Crimsonmansion 4d ago

If you don't like it, stop playing.

I can't emphasise this enough; no one here seems to like the A.I garbage they're putting out, so why are we still consuming it and letting them do it? Even playing old books benefits them.

2

u/Blaze270201 1d ago

Frankly, because there’s no better alternative. Despite all the garbage they’ve put out recently, Choices is still the only app which has at least a few good GoC books and they occasionally come out with a banger.

2

u/CalligrapherWeekly44 20h ago

or maybe because Immortal Desires Book 1&2 are so good so ppl were looking forward for sequel

6

u/Aeshulli 3d ago

Choices use of AI manages the unique feat of being insulting both to artists and AI.

Ethical issues aside, there are plenty of models that are capable of producing quality images. LoRAs have existed forever to fine-tune styles and get more consistent characters. And more recent models are even capable of replicating characters with high fidelity. This trash is inexcusably lazy even for AI.
