#i will not let my girl get bastardized by AI using redditors

[jitteryjive]

ok i nabbed two images of a real life streamline moderne building from its true time period and then an AI-generated image from the same search. this difference pisses me off so bad, because the AI-generated art (which runs rampant so badly google separates the real images from reddit AI) gives the impression streamline moderne is super round and brightly-colored all that jazz. of course the german building isn’t the best reference, but streamline moderne wasn’t bright, popping colors and based so strongly on circular shapes. it was more muted and soft, and its geometric focus was more squares/diamonds than it was outright ovals and circles. its entire point was to be aerodynamic!!! that was its selling point!!!!!! also this is a pet peeve but streamline moderne didn’t do that crosshatch with its random lines!!!!! not even gonna call out the light fixtures on this one 😵‍💫😵‍💫

here is an example of late streamline moderne with distinctive color. streamline moderne, when it did have colors, mainly had muted primary colors on tan or white. while i’m not saying it was impossible to see, say, a yellow building with muted green highlights in 1935, streamline moderne buildings that have primary/secondary colors (especially in strong format) are most likely either the bastardized remnants (AFFECTIONATE) of the 1960s, an imitation (like at hollywood studios in disney), or AI-generated. also i am in no way experienced with identifying furniture so furniture lovers can call shit on this but you cannot convince me a streamline moderne-styled convivial room in the 1930s is going to have atomic style furniture like in the AI-generated picture. LMFAO!!! disclaimer for this rant: i am a teenager doing sole research and i do not know everything. if i got something wrong there are nice ways to tell me :-)

it is so frustrating trying to look up references of streamline moderne or just admire it cause it’s my favorite architecture style and it’s all AI-generated. but that’s not the worst part because the stupid AI can’t even differentiate between the 1950’s and the lifetime of streamline moderne!!!!! GAH!!!!!
