Knott’s Scary Farm 2025

[RoseBlight]

Not looking to start a "it isn't AI" argument but...totally pathetic to see Knott's selling AI generated designs on merch. Especially given they host an actual Art Show by locals. Wonder where else they've cut corners and used a computer instead of hiring people.

How do you know it's AI?

The one that mystifies me is the jersey that has a witch silhouette that totally looks like the old "Bewitched" TV show logo

I'm just at this point incredibly familiar with all the signs + multiple AI image detectors giving it red flags.

On that note, here's Maze Designer Jon Asperin proudly showing AI Generated Concept Art to a paying crowd.



Not trying to start a fire but I think people should be aware of how comfortable they are using a machine instead of hiring designers, artists, etc. Personally I won't be attending anymore.

That is incredibly depressing. It seemed like a lot of the Fright Fest Merch and concept art was (more obviously) using AI assets in their panel reveal at midsummer scream too.
It's doubly depressing when theyre clearly willing to hire human artists for the aspects that are more guest-facing like maze key art, but do stuff like this behind closed doors. It makes it feel much more insidious as if they're aware they're doing something bad, but so long as the people at the park don't see that theyre shafting artists in a field that should be embracing them more than most, they consider it acceptable.
