This is really disappointing to see from the organisation it has to be said .. instead of using or asking some talented graphic Irish designers to mock up images to promote our games, the GAA have instead chosen to use AI generated images ..
Shocking to say the least, see below and some of the comments underneath ..
Very disappointing. As a community-based organisation the GAA should be working with local artists and graphic designers for projects like this.
(Not to mention the fact that AI art is often littered with mistakes – look at the Kerry player’s hand and shorts!) https://t.co/tKBzwp1Byt

So are @officialgaa using AI art now? There are a ton of Irish artists who specialise in GAA illustration you could commission and support.
Things are tough at the best of times but I might have to pack it in at this rate honestly if this is what we have to look forward to 😭 pic.twitter.com/v4eVAxk80k

The money is absolutely there, they spend an absolute fortune on their IT as it is (every club has an individual website – which is basically just a glorified SharePoint site, they also have THOUSANDS of M365 licences which are a heavy cost, aren’t even being used correctly either)
These are terrible for even basic reasons. Jesus wept likeNext the GAA will be hawking AI generated matches to create content for GAAGO and just cut out the human element all together for the aulRemember these are the lads that got sour at Supermacs over an April FoolsThe helmets don’t cover as much of the face as I would expect
