🚨 PREMIUM SUPPORT IN X IS A LIE

A USER EXPERIENCE CASE, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME 😭😭😭😭

@elonmusk @michaelnicollsx @X @premium @spacexai

4 days trying to ask what is the problem with my account and they send me links to FAQ and tell me the premium support they advertise as an "advantage" of the plan is for monetized accounts only!

The products here are like campaign promises, and the features they sell too.

Everything is SUPER in the name only.

As a premium plus subscriber of X I have less than 100 views per post, I reach out to "PREMIUM SUPPORT" and they give me links to FAQ page.

When I ask if they can at least tell me if there is something wrong with my account they said:

"Premium Support is for monetized accounts only" (or fully automated processes that never need any help)

so why they sell it to everyone???

since Wednesday I am asking what is wrong with my account, why my posts don't reach 10% of my followers number (which is 600 only) in 48h?

and I still couldn't get an answer

I decided that for fun and for “fan” (😂)

And for the sake of bringing awareness about important names of modern art, illustrators and great character designers I will create a new series that will be flagged by the hashtag #M4STER 🩸

Most people think AI art is not Art, and that AI artists have no real clue about art. 🫵🏻 If you are one of these people I have to say: you are mostly completelly right! (😂😭😂😭😂)

Most AI artists do not have a clue about art and do not have real understanding about the technology.
They learned how to build glossy things and they try to use a medium made to be used in a way that ressambles more the role of a a movie director, as if they were painters.

AI art in some situations can be also tied to a particular visual identity beyond prompting, but in many ways everything digital can be copied. The common sense (unfortunately) still looks to AI art and tries to make is fit in the existing frameworks of other known mediums. But AI is not like other mediums.

Everybody can draw, paint and tske a photo. However not all of them are artists. Among the artists very few are recognized.

Recognition requires talent and some resourcefulness. As in everything in today's world, credentials matter, wheater people admit it or not, credentials matter a lot.

And as in every art medium, to really appreciate your need to understand. I can show images that are not even possible to be reproduced today, that were crested with experimental technologies that are no longer available to the public, and even being crystal clear to me, 99.9% of the people, including AI artists, woulnd’t be able to tell. For the big majority AI art is about pure “palatable aesthetics”.

Recognize rare in pure prompt art is difficult for who is not saavy in the IGEN tech.

But the question about being or not an artist is a label. It requires skill, and oeople can say that everyone can do it. And at some point it is true as it is true that everybody can do everything, just doesn’t mean it will be good.

Real art is also not about pleasing others, however the ability to share something that oeople identify with is fulfilling. Why would someone express something if it will stay hiden?

The way I see, an AI artist is closer to a movie Director than a Painter.

Nobody question Tarantino not being an artist's because the aesthetics of his movies and even the style has changed.

Or because the equipment he used to produce is not the same as the equipment used a few years ago.

AI artist won’t fit any existing framework, if it did, woukdn’t be a new Medium!

I take as a creative role, where experimentation is not to be hidden. I personally post mostly everything, either my tests, and my locked aesthetic styles.

If at some point I could create a coherent collection for exhibition or for sale, I would make more clear distinction between what is “process” and what is “Curstorial” work.

Yet I have made some experiences with NFTs but I still expect to present something more organized. But for that I need audience and it is not easy. Social media is no longer social really.

Well, be an artist was never an easy task and the chances of success are low.

What I do know is that this works well for me, as a medium for self-expression, and thats all I need.

💎 But back to this new MASTER series:

This is NOT a copy nor a reproduction, this is a reinterpretation of characters in my AI photorealistic style.

So this is meant as a tribute, yes! 🟢

But it is my personal work, a new character that carries the influence of the MASTER.

This is how it inspires me. 🫀

Hey @ChatGPT , why everyone always have be able to chose what language model they want to use on the chat GPT app and website but we never been able to chose what Image model we want?

I don't want to use the new Chat GPT images 2.5, I want the older one, and if I'm forced to use the new one I want to chose between the Flare or Sunburst variants, just like on the language and coding models people can chose from instant to medium and high efforts.

Isn't this literally a different treatment for the folks that rely on the image model compared to people that use only or mostly the language models? I don't think this is fair. =/

[BE4CON🩸 @be4con]

Al IMAGE MODELS HAVE BEEN RESHAPED PURELY FOR REVENUE GENERATION STRATEGIES

**[AND DO NOT FAVOR USERS]**

Models are less capable, they are trying to turn image models in slide makesrs.

⚰️ GPT blocks most prompts. They are purposefully inducing people to use image for text, and also disincentivizing the creative and artistic use.

@imagine can't create even a living room with a rug that doesn't look like AI-ish.

💬I asked grok and seems now we need to describe in more details the pattern of the rug or carpet, specify not on only lens and camera and photorealism, according to grok this is too common to the model, we need to describe depth of field, shutter speed, aperture and ISO.
[🩸looks like a joke]

And even then textures and colors were bleeding in an empty living room scene, the model kept adding the pillows color in the armchair, so Grok told me that I “had to make clear that only the red velvet armchair should be red velvet, textures and colors should not be used in anything else in the scene”.

In short: now you need to prompt in incalculable times more details than before, obvious things included, you need to describe not only what you want, but also what you don't want. On top you have to do all that with a shift from unlimited characters to now 4000 characters (xAI).

📎📃 check image👇🏻

And even after you do all that, you still get images with bad quality faces, missing limbs or missing fingers, and all the anatomy errors we get since AI image was invented. 🤯

And the joke is: in theory the model should be good at editing, but when you need to add a limb or fix hands it doesn't fix or it fix it incorrectly, that works for both @ChatGPT and @imagine.

They offer bad technology to make you spend more tokens, but what they are getting is that I am about to unsubscribe. I already had to subscribe to another AI image platform.

🚨Censorship is brainwashing, we can't be creative, they give you mediocre features, no real access to the IGEN technology.

🤑These companies don't provide any open-source models and don't have any behavior that shows any concern for sharing or allowing humanity to really benefit from the innovation. purely profit oriented and still get all benefits from government.

I am all for regulating these companies and auditing their capabilities. Make transparent what they can do, and what they offer you.

Also how they charge you, because you have now to use references to get better generations (since the models do not generate good images with text anymore) what makes extremely easier to the model to create the image, and they treat that as if you must pay more to add more references. It is ridiculous, you have to pay more when you facilitate the machine work.

💬But when I asked why the silk from the "silk scarf" was bleeding into other items, creating impossible textures, the model told me as if I didn't knew how to prompt:

🤖"Have you specified that the silk should be contained only in the scarf?"

🔴 That was the red flag - less words to use, zero model creativity and loss of use of human natural language. We are literally back to the old times prompting like we used todo in Stable Diffusion and they have built something that made prompt simple and allowed more creativity.

💡The way we need to prompt today I believe it can be better to check how the SD models are today. At least when we follow the right structure we get a perfect image.

📛 In GPT and Imagine 2.0 you don’t have a clear structure to follow, neither a clear understanding of what will be censored.

⏳The time we spend trying to execute one image with quality is absurd. Today I sincerely, can’t get what I really want and can take a day of intersections, rewriting and burning credits to still have to accept a mediocre image.⌛

I may not get attention but I would be sincerely interested on the opinion of some people about it:
