Maine Mall Area Development Projects

Simple 15 minutes of creativity with google earth and AI helped generate this much greater use of land than what the hotel developer proposed for the Dicks/Friendly's/bank parking lot.
If they are going through all the effort to tear buildings down left and right, why not make a sustainable and community driving development instead of plop two vanilla hotels in the dead center of the lot?
Cheap, easy solutions all over Maine instead of lasting, creative developments. Again, only took me 10-15 minutes!
 
Dicks, Verizon, and Burger King are planned residential.
What would the mixed use be? Office market is dead.
 
My pleasure! In all seriousness, apologies for being annoying, but as someone who just graduated college with a degree in Film Studies, the use of generative AI just ticks me off in general. Whether it's generating movie scenes, graphics, or architectural massing renders, it's lazy, inartistic, plagiaristic, and harmful to the environment.
 
Embrace it, don’t fight it…not long ago people smeared digital photography. Generative AI functions as a powerful tool for rapid prototyping and ideation, shifting the creative process from manual execution to high-level curation while democratizing production by allowing independent creators with limited budgets to visualize complex concepts.

Nice ChatGPT response. AI is nowhere near developed enough yet to provide what you are describing. I am a designer and use AI often. I know it's capabilities.

Oof size = large

I'm sure there are Planners all over the country haphazardly using AI without any kind of ethics or even common sense that they should treat AI as a tool and not as something that will do their job for them. I've read that even the courts are inundated with briefs that contain hallucinated rulings and such. People just don't give a shit.
 
These AI outputs are often quite shallow and crude, even if they appear polished at a glance.

I simply view people who tout the results as telling on themselves that they have no value/discernment of quality.
 
All true but remember that we’re at the birth of AI, it still cannot be fully trusted. What will it look like after 5 or 10 years of refinement?
