A talking dog is very impressive when it first appears. When suddenly talking dogs are everywhere, drown out the people I want to talk to, then they are annoying.
Moreover, it's not at all strange that people learned what generative AI looks. When I see it in "in the wild", it instantly in my mind becomes "generated thing". And exactly because the images are created by a process of averaging, once I'm used to them, they have a "nothing special or interesting here" feeling, which isn't a good feeling for many thing, for example accompanying illustrations.
- andybak 3y agoI don't think you can tell AI generated images from real images anywhere near as much as you think you can. I'd bet good money you couldn't achieve more than say 60% in a properly controlled test
- __loam 3y agoIt's usually pretty obvious.
- andybak 3y agoIt's often most definitely not.
- joe_the_user 3y agoI think you're missing the direction this AI stuff is going. I would claim to be able to tell an AI-generated image from illustration hand-draw by a person if that illustration had roughly the characteristics of standard AI-generated images. IE, sort of curvilinear magic realism feel, crude knowledge of anatomy and perspective, uniform soft lighting etc. And there are quite a few artists out like that and I shudder for their careers. The problem is the value of things that look like AI has been reduced because they're everywhere - and that include a fair number of non-AI-generated stuff, sure.
- andybak 3y agoIt's trivially easy to generate ai images that aren't "curvilinear magic realism" etc I can't help but feel you're just betraying your limited exposure to what's currently possible. You're confusing "what lots of people seem to want to generate" with "what the models are capable of"
