I’ve seen Google’s images of black vikings and female popes. I am almost sure they are from AI.

There is infinite depth-of-field in AI-generated images, unlike photos taken with a lens. Sometimes they try to simulate limited depth-of-field by blurring background objects, but it still doesn’t look right.

AI-generated images look more like paintings than photos to me.

I always thought the people looked too perfect. FLAWLESS skin, hair doesn’t look real- it doesn’t move or shine, movements are stiff and too deliberate.

Thanks.

I wasn’t sure how this would be received, but thought the information was valuable.

What if all these bad AI images with multiple thumbs and two left hands throughout the internet is a ploy to get everyone thinking that AI isn’t that advanced in order to use perfected AI images and videos to pull off deep fakes that can change influence elections and policy? Or is that too tin foil?

No, it’s not.

I could see that as a distraction.

Thanks, metmom. I was worried that I was channeling my inner Alex Jones.

After seeing what’s been happening in the democrat party the last several years, I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past them.
