It’s not that these images are perfect - it’s that they’re close enough.
The “problem” is that these images look amazing with a minimal touchup - something which would happen anyway to a real photo.
An extra hour to two fixing some AI artifacts (the ol’ droop-eye and derp-hand) is a LOT cheaper than getting actual people out to an actual location and taking an actual photo.
EDIT: I just realised the tent is on fire 🤡
Honestly if you did those touch ups and said it was real I would still believe it, reminds me of that subreddit where they post weird Stockphotos. Like the lady soldering but she’s holding the hot bit of the solder iron, or the hackerman with the faux mask. Serious stock photos can be hilarious sometimes.
Transcript of me examining this picture:
"Okay, face looks okay, jacket makes sense, let’s look at the hands. Looks like four fingers on her left hand there, the right hand, thumb’s a little screwy, is that a stick or is she part tarsier? Something’s kind of screwy there. Boots look about right, there’s even a pretty decent depth of field on the sho-THE FIRE IS IN THE TENT.
It’s like that test where you count the number of basketballs and miss the guy in the gorilla costume.
Man I didn’t even notice the fire in the tent until I read your comment …
I noticed the fire and I noticed the tent. I was too distracted by the hands to notice that the fire was in the tent… What has AI images done to me? Haha.
You’re not alone. I expect far too long focused on the hands and face…
Also is this an AI making a dumb blonde joke?
I mean I can think of a few ways to keep a text warm. A few ways involving a dumb blonde…
This ain’t it chief!
Though considering I didn’t notice the location of the fire until reading the comment, maybe I should the dumb blonde…
Reminds me of the Dad joke: Set a man a fire, he’s warm for the night. Set a man on fire, he’ll be warm the rest of his life!
That tent is about to get real hot…
The eyes see what they want to see 🤷♂️
I read AI and I am focused exclusively on the hands. So much that at first I didn’t even see the fire…
Same lol
To be fair, I’m not sure this is an unrealistic scenario of your average instagram influencer going out camping.
Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm
No, that’s fine. It’s the 👍 thumb! Look at it! It’s freakishly small but not ridiculously small.
Or the single Wolverine stick claw.
The hot air is also guaranteed to keep the tent up.
If you put the whole ass campfire in the tent, it might fly away. Put the fire in the freezer overnight, then thaw it out in chunks when needed.
Alternatively, scrape some glue off your pizza and use it to stick the tent’s bottom to the ground.
I always pack several tablets of dehydrated water with me so if I’m running out, I can just dissolve a couple to have something to drink or cook with
I did not notice that, all I did was look at the image on autopilot
AI in the tent:
I hate how obsessed AI has made me with hands and feet. cause that used to be how you noticed AI pics (still is, to a degree, but they are sadly getting better at not creating abomination limbs), they always fucked up the hands and feet.
and now I find my eyes immediately drawn to hands and feet of any picture, even in real life, cause this stupid bullshit has trained my eyes to scan for weird digital hallucinatory biology.
and I can not begin to express in human language how much I hate it now that i’ve noticed it
And sometimes people just have weird hands. I remember seeing a picture from a Trump rally somebody posted, and people were like “Why does everybody look so weird?” “Must be AI. Look at that baby’s mutant alien hands.” It was a picture from 2017, before all this AI shit started.
Rob Leifeld is a time traveller and used AI for all his drawings.
Supposedly theres a porn star from the '90/00’s that had a club foot. Super hot, but always had the one foot out of the frame or covered.
Probably “folk lore” but what you said reminded me of that.
I mean that was a plot point on the Truman show so…
At some point some artist is going to screw with all of us by taking a real photo with a campfire in a tent.
Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.
A smart move would have been to put a real photo here and then troll all the comments about uncanny valley …and by smart I mean evil.
…
I will totally do that in future.
( btw. the hands are still messy ☝️)
Did you miss the fire in the tent too?
I’ve seen enough posts on Instagram to not be surprised by idiots ruining a perfectly good tent just for a shot 🤷♂️
I think it’d be pretty tricky to get a fire going at that size and get the photo taken before the thin plastic of the tent melted or burst into flames. The tent in the picture is fine, which I honestly think would be impossible with that setup, even if you tried to be quick
It’s funny how similar AI generated images are to accompanying drawings for “what are ten things that are wrong with this picture?” style questions in an IQ test.
Except for the super long pinky finger shes cute
Her pointer finger is longer than her middle finger, too. The chick in the movie Species was super cute too. Just saying.
The finglonger!
“So that’s what things would be like if I invented the finglonger…”
A man can dream though. A man can dream.
Plus side is generating them is increasing global warming
Yes and no.
Generating images instead of not generating images? Increases global warming
Generating vacation images instead of flying to vacation? Net benefit
Create 1,000 images with a model like Stable Diffusion XL, and you’ve produced as much carbon dioxide as driving just over four miles in a gas-powered car, according to the researchers Melissa spoke to.
I would say that compares maybe be wrong.
How, that’s scary, thanks!
They never get the hands right lol
Too perfect but wrong hands
The fire also looks a bit too intents to me 😉
