When I did this almost 2 years ago with Midjourney, people came at me and started harassing me. It was just a party invite but people hated that I used AI. I guess I just needed to wait until the gatekeepers or a rich white man to do it for it to be socially acceptable. The pain from these AI luddites was real. I have strongly negative feelings for how Big Tech manipulated everyone into attacking everyone who was doing AI but them. They made it seem like the only ones to protect us from AI was them but the pain this caused didn't go away.

How is this the wrong thread? Apple Invites is exactly like what I was doing with Midjourney a GenAI image generator.

I had a hard time connecting your comment to an event booking app. But I guess you are talking about the Memoji integration?

The article mentions in the future being able to use Apple Intelligence to create "splash artwork" for invites rather than just uploading a photo or using emoji/memoji backgrounds.

Some of images in the link are AI generated. Some people instantly notice AI generated contents, some don't.

It seems to me that this realization is often accompanied by deep emotional negativity, regardless of opinions.

"Image Playground is built right into Apple Invites, giving users an easy way to generate original images that make their invitation even more unique."

I look forward to the aberrations this will inevitably produce.
