Warning: “Art by Stable Diffusion”.
(I read the whole article assuming that the images were real historical images, until I saw the last image, which was obviously generated.)
I feel somewhat decieved. If you’re going to use fake images, why not go all the way and generate the whole article text as well?
- dash2 4y agoIt says Art by Stable Diffusion on the first image. There are few real historical images of Puritans meditating, levitating and doing yoga!
- _Algernon_ 4y agoIn tiny, low contrast text. Easy to miss.
- mylons 4y agolol. i haven’t read the blog yet, but were puritans actually doing yoga?!
- rgrieselhuber 4y agoIndeed and you can tell just by looking at the second image that it is not authentic yoga, the spinal alignment is completely off.
- anothernewdude 4y agoThose fooled you? They're terrible.
- teddyh 4y agoI skimmed the images, and the initial images were woodcut-style, and not very obviously fake. Only the last one was styled like an engraving, and was much more obvious.
- anothernewdude 4y agoIt may become more obvious the more you see. Like CGI effects. Amazing the first time, but once you get used to them, your brain learns to distinguish them. Like facial features typical of ethnicities - you can distinguish between those you see most often.
- teddyh 4y agoI agree, and I even wrote as such here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32498244 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32498244
- DennisP 4y agoWarning: modern artists are perfectly capable of making illustrations like that even without the assistance of fancy AI.
