Hasbro only delivered the most in their GI Joe line rather than black series or marvel legends. Their new reveals were lackluster in number only. I'm not personally too excited for the reveals except for their GI Joe stuff which I don't even collect. Wish they had more ML newer items to reveal beyond their last live stream.

I wouldn't be surprised either, but unscrupulous people are going to act unscrupulously and that's just kind of the way of the world sometimes. It's impossible to safeguard against every possible bad actor out there. You're putting it out into the world in the right way, what happens from there is kind of out of your hands.

Even here, since I can't say how accurate the AI got it, it could lead to false expectations. For instance in the blurry image we can see what looks like a blue light on his leg. AI seems to have interpreted that as a blue stripe. So my guess that is at least one thing it got wrong.
I respect your integrity. I do think there is a line between sharpening an image to get a look at a soft reveal and using AI to completely fabricate figures. One is much less misleading a use of AI. As I said, I'm fine with both, but I think what you did is perfectly acceptable. It's just like blowing up a small image in some ways, with a little more margin for error. You showed what Hasbro's Deep Six might look like based on a Hasbro picture. I think that's a fair use.

13 minutes ago, JayC said:So Hasbro has given us a blurry first look at the upcoming GIJoe Classified Deep Six in one of the promo images for the Hydro Viper. I used the AI on Adobe Express to enhance it to give us a better look. IDK how accurate the AI got it, and it brings up a bigger question of whether we should use AI for something like this??? Curious to know people's thoughts?
Wow, looks great man...???
