AI Art mistakes Episode 1: Gravity Falls as an 80s mystery movie.
Tumblr media
Like usual, AI struggles to replicate text. There are a number of reasons why an AI generated background image is a bad idea under most circumstances, especially as a final draft.
Tumblr media
Here is an actual picture of the Mystery Shack from the show. This design was based off of research done by the team working on the show. They travelled to actual tourist traps in order to find objects to draw as background details, like the signs and decor around the shack.
The AI version doesn’t scream tourist trap house, it screams random gas station [which is what I assume the rectangles in the far bottom right are supposed to represent]. The scale of the signage on the real design gives us insight into Stan Pines, the owner of the business, and what we can expect to find on a tour. The moss, missing S laying on the roof, and big board underneath all tell us something important: This is an old building, and the owner is cheap.

The scale of the full shack is much larger than the little AI version, so much that the Gift shop area feels around the same size as the whole thing. The AI version isn’t believable as a house/shop combo because of how small it is, and the broken window!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s a room big enough for two children to have separate beds and a large room with a window nook in the attic area of the mystery shack. We don’t know where this bathroom is on the ground floor, but given the fact that there’s an outhouse, we can assume this is meant for the family living at the Shack, not tourists.
The detail of the non-suspicious triangular windows is lost in the AI image, and since none of the posters even spell words, there’s no good details gained from including them.
Tumblr media
This support on the porch roof doesn’t connect back to the building, it connects to this tree trunk. And the supposed gas pumps don’t make sense either because there’s usually only one or two, and they’d all be the same height.
Tumblr media
AI Dipper Pines just looks like that one kid from Stranger things.
Tumblr media
Another issue with AI art is that the texture on “Dipper’s” hair is super soft and fluffy like a cat’s fur. You can see this actor’s curly hair leaves actual gaps and is more wiry and shiny… because it’s human hair. Also, the image from the show has this grainy texture on the skin and cloth, because the show is set in the 80s and cameras weren’t high definition. AI art looks too smooth and buttery because it doesn’t have the human understanding of aesthetics and texture.
He also looks like Frodo, but I don’t know why the AI would pull from a non-80s themed film.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That ain’t Journal 3, thats Diary 9!
Tumblr media
The AI didn’t even make it red! Made it massive and square, but the rest wasn’t allowed.
Tumblr media
“Dipper” isn’t looking at anything because an AI drew this and had no plan for what he’s supposed to be staring at. Also, one of his nostrils is smaller and his right eyebrow is trying to escape AI purgatory.
Tumblr media
Don’t let ro-bro cook, AI “Mabel” looks like Minecraft Brett Cooper.
Tumblr media
Naw, because why is AI Mabel’s jawline stronger than her Twin Brother’s?!
Tumblr media
That is NOT Mabel bro, that is a thirty year old married woman on Pinterest!
Tumblr media
With a sock puppet for a thumb.
Tumblr media
They made Stan into a fusion of Walta White and Stan Lee, which makes sense. But his empty black eye socket and deep wrinkles give me a fight or flight response.
Tumblr media
This is what real eyes and wrinkles look like. Once again the text on Stan’s jacket makes no sense [and being AI has no design thought put into it], and the hair looks like cat fur. Walta’s beard is a good example of what “Stan’s” mustache should look like texture wise.
Tumblr media
This isn’t Soos, this is Deter Diffin!
Tumblr media
Literally what is the same? Got bro out here looking like a slapstick mobster with 3 offended brain cells.
Tumblr media
Look, I know Mabel saved that 8 legged cow, but even she’s wise enough to get stranger danger vibes from bro. AI waddles looks like one of those cursed 3-D Peppa Pig animations from the depths of YouTube.
So this next one, I didn’t even know who it was supposed to be, but the video had timestamps in the description…

So Ford… isn’t a ginger, first of all. Second of all, he’s literally wearing a baseball cap with a beanie over it. Because that would do anything for you.
Doesn’t look like AI Stan. Doesn’t even look like his painted self, much less the actual Ford. The AI latched onto the author thing and made him do a book signing or something. I promise you, if Ford got the chance to do a book signing he would not look this depressed. Maybe he can feel the disappointment through the screen, IDK.
Tumblr media
AI Bill Cipher. Apparently. Bro looks like a Demonic Discord Mod who found out his Lemon Demon concert ticket is counterfeit the night of the event. I’m not even going to waste time explaining this one.
So yeah, that was episode one of critiquing/roasting AI art.

you know the whole mostly joking idea ahaha number two is mabel pines bc “same actress lol”/etc.? literally want to write a fic of this JUST so there can be a scene pre-canon wherein number two is telling mr benedict about a fight she had with her brother or something along those lines, and he says something like i understand, number two, all soft and sad, and she kinda snaps a bit and is like no, with all due respect, you DON'T understand, you don't have a twin. .....only to see the most stricken heartbroken look cross his face and have an oh shit moment 
 + her being like wait one fucking second. if i had a nickel for every time my vaguely father like/older male familial figure had a secret long-lost twin he hadn't seen in thirty years after something happened that separated them that he blames himself entirely for, i'd have two nickels, but it's WILD that that happened twice right??????????? what the fuck???????????????
