Xbox graphics department lead puts out cringe-worthy hiring post... with AI graphics
It is stupid, but it did get everyone talking about their job ad
That’s an AI-esque mistake
Umm, it looks the output is listed on the back of the monitor unless I am mistaken? Not only crappy but no one even proof read for errors. Sounds like a place you want to run from not work at.
I mean, they clearly need a graphics designer...
Obviously they not only laid off the wrong people, but kept the wrong people.
Yeah, the higher-ups steering them in the wrong direction. Just like most layoffs...
I don't think there was ever any doubt about that.
Imagine... a bright near future, where all games on GamePass are 100% AI created from a single prompt by the CEO. Imagine the shareholder value!
Sir, I'm afraid Horny Tits 7 is not selling as well as Horny Tits 6
I just threw up in my mouth.
I love writing code on the back of my monitor
She's a backend developer
☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
It's the new screen-mirrored laptop, taking the development of open-source software to the next level with real-time, in-room code transparency.
Is it just me, but I feel like I’ve seen this kinda cutesy AI cartoon style a lot in the last few weeks. Has it been around longer, and I just noticed it? It’s definitely one of those things that once you see you can’t unsee it.
I think many of them are since chatgpt introduced the "Studio Ghibli" style earlier this year. They are usually these wierd mixes between anime and western cartoon styles, with a warm color tone for some reason
AI tends to eat it's own, and others, shit. That's why you'll often see images like this that look similar to others. This is just what bing image creator is pumping out because it's literally gorging on its own waste.
It's more like it's tyranny of the majority, where some popular style or VFX or meme or dominates the landscape. Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, etc., etc., etc.
And yes, it's incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style.

Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, that time Terminator 2 came out and everybody was showing off liquid metal VFX like it was out of style, the same thing with VCR screen fuzz on videos now, etc. I think Tiktok has made this problem infinitely worse, since all it takes is some random video to get insanely popular, and suddenly people are consuming some other shitty product, or eating cleaning products, or doing something else fatally stupid.
And yes, it's incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style. Or any art style, really.
I started noticing it around February or March or so.
I feel like it's displacing Corporate Memphis, at the very least in terms of how much I hate it.
Doesn't have a graphic designer
Can't do graphic design
Has to hire a graphic designer before the graphic designer can graphic design
Seems pretty logical to me
To be fair, Microsoft is an indie company that probably can't afford more than one graphic designer.
From a Eurogamer supporter in the comments: "This is a crap job ad - but how does anyone know for sure that the image is AI?"
Lol. Lmao, even.
The commenter should peruse LinkedIn for 20 minutes and they’ll be able to spot AI images instantly
I thought it looked like AI even before I noticed the screen was backwards. It just has that super generic look.
You guys don’t create your graphics with code and the monitor facing away from you?
How do they do this? Xbox is a big ass company that pays super well. Like if you don't have a graphic designer, at least buy a stock image or out source it? I'm sure you could do that with company money? These people earn over 100k a year for being this stupid?

It's a faang company for gaming. Of course it pays bags.
Xbox is owned by Microsoft, one of the biggest players in the AI game
They left without people to fire so they have to hire more.
ROFL Pathetic for the Department Lead to not even check if the slop was correctly generated! This person should've been laid off, but, somehow survived the unnecessary layoffs. Just because Microsoft wanted to burn money on AI, risk a lot on something that doesn't actually generate meaningful profit. Tragic, and I hope it hurts them badly.
Xbox graphics is hiring Xbox.
Looks like they already found their new hire!
Oh I get it, "cringe-worthy" because the text is on the wrong side of the screen. Took me a minute to even notice.
Why do you think they're hiring people for the graphics department?
