This looks like AI art that has nothing to do with Vermont.

Someone used an AI program to make the “god” of each state. Looks like someone is doing villains now. Please be careful what you say about the AI software in case they are listening (they are).

Ha, I for one welcome our skynet overlords (kidding).

I feel a little "old man shakes fist at sky" with this stance, but, I really believe AI art is a good assistive tool for artists who still have a creative vision / final product in mind, the AI might do a lot of the leg work but the artist still has the attention to detail, like making the art actually relevant to the viewer, or the viewers context.

This ain't that. This screams to me bot account that was fed a list of all 50 states with the word "Villian" tagged onto the end so that they have some easy content to post for those sweet, sweet likes.

A God, or God villian of Vermont should reflect our wild life, our landscape, our flannel-clad Co-op sticker wielding people, *something* from our state.

Agreed on all counts and you have this situation pegged fairly, I’d say. I also happen to be an artist and graphic designer by trade and agree that AI art could absolutely be an amazing tool for artists. We happen to love reference material and those things can spit out some gnarly reference material. It can also be an amazing tool for getting some luls and likes on social media. The issue is that corpos might start using it instead of hiring human beings like me. I’m one of the lucky ones with a fairly secure position in my field, but I know a lot of artists that are very not ok with the new advances in AI art software and are growing concerned for the future.

It's clearly AI generated just like the 'god' of vermont post. I could type 100X words in front of 'Vermont' into one of those generators and make 100X posts just like this... it's not good and it's probably a direct knockoff of someone's actual artwork knowing how they train these things...

It is AI generated; sorry, I thought my comment on the post made that clear. I still thought it was cool, especially since so many of the AI generated super villains tended toward the male clown variety. I just wanted to share something I thought was interesting, but since so many people seem to be taking it extremely poorly maybe I should remove this post.

She's kinda hot TBH. A mix of the unabomber with the hoodie and sexy forest nymph type look going on.

This was part of an AI series on supervillains from each state. I saw the God version and thought the super villain looked cooler, so I wanted to share.
