the fact that people still don't know sites where you can AI-generate photos exist, or how to spot them, in 2022 CE is kind of disheartening and should maybe be an exercise in media literacy classes which maybe everyone should be required to take
I mean, to be fair, this is a pretty good one, but then again they might have cleaned it up.
You can usually spot them because the generator still has trouble with hair, jewelry, and sometimes eyebrows.
honestly, I think it's been roughly a year since my circles talked about this on here, and it's gotten a lot better in that time
I flipped through about 5 images before coming on one with any obvious artifacts
The hair and ears are pretty good one this one, but there's some weirdness with her clothes, and on her hat (looks like maybe it pulled in some sequins?).
Here's an example of how it still has trouble with earrings:
Sometimes it REALLY screws up background and clothing, but that's getting less common:
heh, it can't tell the difference between headscarves and hair:
Honestly, earrings seem to trip it up more than anything, though, which is maybe why it seems like people don't catch photos of men as often.
Like, I dunno, I don't really see anything in this one that would make me suspicious

There have been dogs howling nonstop in the yard behind mine for a couple days now and an animal control officer came to my door to ask how long I’d been hearing them and Gus got so freaked out that I really want to ask him some questions
Anyway the animal control guy said they had two white huskies which seems impossible because I have lived here for 7 months now and can see into their yard and two white huskies are a little hard to miss
But anyway I gave Gus a bunch of hugs and SCRITCHES and reassured him that he wasn’t getting un-adopted or anything
My parents are both very liberal for white Boomers but no matter how many articles I show them about journalists who respond to job postings and don’t even get call backs, they insist there’s a labor shortage.
Like, I don’t think this one was an undercover journalist, but it’s still telling:
The idea that throwing out rules to obey your heart is the highest form of virtue is actually a very Christian take on things--Christianity has always had a strong antinomian bent, at least on paper
But Judaism *isn't* about tossing everything out the window if you think you're obeying a higher calling
it's about recognizing that Grand Moral Principles are useless without a strategy for implementation
Hmm, I’m really curious if this is a difference between ADD and ADHD? I don’t know if I know anyone with ADHD, but I have a LOT of close friends with ADD and this really doesn’t track with how they describe their own experiences.
I mean, hell, one of my friends with pretty severe ADD is also the one who can lay out each step of moving a piece of furniture for me to minimize the likelihood of damaging myself, the furniture, the walls, or the floor.
I also have a friend with aphantasia, who doesn’t have ADD, so it’s weird to hear it described as a component because some of my friends with ADD are artists and don’t have any trouble forming mental images.
Reading Christian commentary on the parable of the Good Samaritan and 90% of it is "the kohen and the Levite wouldn't help the man because Ritual Purity" and 90% of that includes "so it was a GENTILE who helped!!!" & it's amazing how so many "experts" can be this blatantly wrong.
Seriously, Christians doing commentary on parables, get the words "ritual purity" and "unclean" out of your mouths.
You get it wrong every. single. time.
But I've already talked about that a million times, so instead I want to focus on the whole line of commentary that's "it was a marginalized person/'unclean' enemy/gentile who was the one who helped!"
