“It’s not real”: the only three words you need to sum up the absurdity of AI-generated photos!
I don’t care how sophisticated AI imagery may become. If you know a scene was conjured up by a machine, how on Earth can you allow yourself to trust it? It’s not real!
Recently, I've observed a growing tolerance for AI-generated images among some individuals who are aware that the scenes depicted were created by a machine. The images in question are not low-quality, cartoonish computer-generated images, but rather hyper-realistic AI imagery designed to mimic genuine photographs. People seem to be more accepting of these hyper-realistic AI images, often dismissing concerns about their authenticity.
Phrases like "who cares if it's AI" are becoming more common, and the more I encounter such comments, the more absurd the entire concept of AI-generated imagery appears to me. How can one trust a depiction of something that supposedly exists but which they know never did? It's akin to reading fantastical stories like Alice in Wonderland or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, yet these stories are not real.
I've noticed an increase in such behavior in e-commerce, particularly when companies use AI-generated images to advertise real products. Comments such as "as long as it looks like the real product, then I don't mind" strike me as nonsensical. How can you trust a company that uses a fabricated image to represent a tangible item? The image itself isn't real; neither is the model nor the product.
If these individuals who seemingly overlook this issue were to vocalize the words "it's not real" every time they encountered such images, they might begin to understand the sheer absurdity of their willingness to be deceived by computer-generated imagery.
