Does this new genre have a name yet? Handmade slop? In other words - AI slop-like stuff created by a human being. The artist’s Bluesky post:
So excited to share this illustration I had the pleasure of creating for Bloomberg Businessweek for the article “The Steamy, Magical and Now Very Lucrative Romantasy Business” by Hannah Miller and Madison Muller.
Such a fun one to work on!
Art direction by Chandra Illick.

Couldn’t fix the hand here to pull at the glove even if AI made most of the layout? Kinda seems like people are just burned out and dont care. I know I don’t. But I’m slopping spreadsheets that my boss doesnt read anyway not making art for games.
She’s not pulling at the glove. It’s pushing an imaginary wrist button that calls her mech. Dva does the same thing, presses an imaginary button on her wrist that doesn’t actually exist to call mech. It’s not AI it just really feels like it because of the lighting and waxy style.
Okay I dont play but wait, thats a real animation and the artists didnt make a simple button there? What? Isnt this made by like Blizzard or something?
Wild, they really did that in the game too, okay.
