I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

The staff came and told them to rearrange it and they did, but not happily. As we were getting ready to leave they had started to put up product on the walls and the stuff they started with was, while not to my taste, clearly made by a person.

Messy paintings of pop culture characters with abstract brushstrokes and Grafitti style text. Not my thing, but that’s how art works: there’s something for every one. This is important later.

Friday, we get in and the younger woman, Oriana (who’s name was on the booth) and the older man are nowhere to be seen, but the young man and older woman who helped set up were there. But there was different stuff in the booth.
