A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The imperfections aren't as much the issue as the scaling. There was a thread at some point where someone asked how hard it would be to diy their bathroom after getting an AI suggestion. The problem with it was that AI essentially took a tiny room and scaled down everything to make it look big. For the generated picture to make sense the toilet and sink would have to be comically small but because every detail was scaled down it wasn't noticeable to the OP until others pointed it out and they could only point it out because of the before-picture.
If you look at an AI house listing they often have a very clean minimalist design but the size doesn't check out.
Yeah... Its also hard to know scale if you are looking at a picture of bare walls but yeah tiny furniture doesn't help.
Also the fish-eye lenses they use don't help
