Say what you will about Ferrari strategy but their decision to put another two wheels on the rear wing in the early 2000s was inspired.
Dear god, this is horrifyingly awful
It makes me wonder if there is like one guy that is responsible for uploading content to Prime and he’s completely overwhelmed. How does this not get caught?
Brutal. Looks like modern F1 evolved from … modern GT3?
This is the fear of ai that I have. It’s that they take the job and do a shittier job.
This is just shameless. They just don’t care about quality anymore
That’s shocking in so many aspects
Lmao AI taking jobs to make shit content. Makes me wonder if the documentary is even worth watching with such a horrible background
Ah the classic “fat nose” Jordan there in green before they switched to yellow. Iconic.
The fourth car in the row of red. I didn’t know Lightning McQueen is a part of Formula One! /s
The very back “cars” aren’t even open wheel ones.
At first I thought that this is just a bad photoshop but the longer you look at it, the more wrong it looks.
Im really getting tired of ai “art”. It’s ugly, it’s everywhere, corpos cut positions. Fuck that
Looks like it’s such an obscure show that the AI filled the background. I tried finding if there was any official artwork.. can’t seem to find it. I feel like this may be automated too.
I wonder how long until AI = cheap, tacky and unprofessional becomes cemented in the public consciousness.
using AI in anything is insulting, and dangerous to everything and everyone. it is a pandora’s box that has been opened.
Man, you could literally use AI to check for the best possible thumbnail that’s already in your documentary but instead you use it for this
God I hate AI
The funniest part is that this literally takes more work than just doing it the normal way. Someone probably spent an hour fiddling with a prompt generator when they could’ve just… spent 12 seconds scrubbing through the video until they found a frame with some cars in it.
I know companies use AI because it is cheaper than a person doing work, even though AI is a lot shittier. But in this case they could just have used a still from their own production, that would have been even cheaper than AI. What’s the point? This is a multi billion dollar company, is nobody over there thinking about what the hell they’re doing?
Pretty sure that’s Lightning McQueen on the 4th row back…
Wouldn’t it be less trouble to use a screenshot from the documentary?
I don’t know which kind of tech-bro loser would look at this image and think “yup, this is fine enough to add to the website”.
It gets worse the more you look at it.
Disrespectful
Kachow in the back
Haters gonna say it’s AI, but this is what F1 should aim for. Six wheels is the future.
Does nobody double check these things 😭 like even at a brief glance it looks fucking awful who greenlit this decision
Is that [the Ant Hill mob]
) in the fourth row back?
It’s standard practice for big streamers to use AI for their thumbnails, there is a podcast called “the rest is entertainment “ and they covered this, it’s standard practice now…
But yeah it looks shit and someone should “proof” it but then it would need a human in the chain and that’s what big streamers are cutting down on…
Anyway the real question is….
Is it any good?
I think I see Lightning McQueen back there too
Ah, yes, the Grand Prix of Your Commute Down The 5. Truly LA’s greatest race
So is this a re edit of the documentary with the exact same banter that i have on DVD? (There was a whole 26 part series called Racing Through Time)
All that amazon money, and they couldn’t hire one graphic designer?
jfc
Bad day to have eyes.
Despite the popular saying, people judge things by their cover. That’s why there is a cover. If the best cover art they can do is this AI slop then I don’t think the quality of the show will be worth my time.
Reminds me of the Trackmania games
This is the closest thing we have to LMH to Formula 1 animorphs
True I remember the rule, the more F1 features the car has, the more further at the front is it allowed to start.
They need to learn from Netflix.
It’s not AI, it’s just Formula Dinky, 30+ cars compete in an uneven grid of crooked pseudo open wheelers and doughy GT cars.
Truly a classic serie of the sport.
Not gonna lie, this brings me more joy than any real photo would have 😂
Those cars at the back look like Morgans and Ginettas. I don’t remember those days at all.
The more you look at it, the more awful it gets
Makes sense, they clearly don’t hive a shit about their menu system as it is.
