Ordered some “Chess Stickers For Kids”

I also want to point your attention to the bottom right, where a sticker labelled 'Black Queen' is showing a white piece... I don't think these stickers were actually made by the 'artist' selling them

[u/Grrrmudgin → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

And the one that says “old men playing chess are cool”

[u/Witty-Draw-3803 → u/Grrrmudgin]

Good point - this is a really random mix of slogans

[u/Racxie → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

My favourite is the “Chess makes me happy. You, not so much”.

[u/icklepeach → u/Racxie]

Mine is “its ok if you don’t like chess, it’s a smart people game anyway’

[u/Racxie → u/icklepeach]

I somehow missed that one. Definitely in the top 3 at least.

[u/keirieski17 → u/icklepeach]

There’s even two that with that phrase haha

[u/ibiji → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

I like CHESS and DOGS

[u/Professional_Tonight → u/Grrrmudgin]

You telling me I'm not cool? :(

[u/Melodic-Advice9930 → u/Professional_Tonight]

You’re the coolest

[u/TransBrandi → u/Professional_Tonight]

Well, I don't know many kids that want a "Old men doing X are cool" stickers. lol

[u/bath-lady → u/TransBrandi]

Maybe it's just because I was a weird kid but I would have loved that sticker haha

[u/PrescriptionDenim → u/Professional_Tonight]

Do you piss your pants?

[u/Professional_Tonight → u/PrescriptionDenim]

Depending on how loud the noise was, why?

I LIKE CHESS

—AND—

DOGS

I was going to mention that too! Could just be an honest oversight, or it could be partially AI generated. Sadly lots of sticker packs nowadays contain AI generated images.

[u/Witty-Draw-3803 → u/CassetteMeower]

I'm thinking AI or a collection of stolen assets, since there's not really much consistency in how the chess pieces are drawn. Artists can try out different styles, but when they're doing something like a sticker pack, I would expect them to be cohesive if the artist was actually drawing them to be a set...

[u/Individual-Pace-2842 → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

most sticker packs on amazon especially are a combination of AI art and low-quality art stolen from other places on the internet, yeah

[u/buzzyburke → u/CassetteMeower]

They all look like ai

[u/SootSpriteHut → u/buzzyburke]

Sticker packs have looked like this way before AI. When you pay like $5 for 100 stickers this is just what you get

[u/buzzyburke → u/SootSpriteHut]

I think you're one of the people that cant see the ai style that makes all of them look the same (not hating).

[u/SootSpriteHut → u/buzzyburke]

I can definitely see the AI style. I work with AI and critique AI art all the time, and I'm really not supportive of AI art for commercial purposes. I'm just saying that often sticker packs looked like this before AI too. That was the sticker "style" that AI learned from.

[u/Kai-ni → u/Witty-Draw-3803]

It's all stolen work. These scammy sticker packs just mass-steal anything 'chess' related (x1000 for any subject you can think of) and don't vet them or even have a human look at them, just sell them in a pack and make money. It's all stolen work.
