"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This one frustrates me for other reasons too. If you knew-jerk to calling everything AI, you aren’t actually trying to determine if it was an artist making it or if it’s generated, which only makes you worse at detecting the differences between them.
I will sometimes stare at an image for 30+ seconds just to try and find which way I think I lean. If I’m not sure, I don’t call it out, but remain skeptical. We should always be trying to be vigilant and never just accept “that looks weird” as being “that’s AI”. There’s also always the chance it’s a real photo depending on context no matter how weird.
