Same. I feel like I didn’t build a natural resistance to AI images because I so thoroughly cut out ad sources and rarely see them.
Eh, I literally never see ads and block them everywhere, I couldn't tell you the last time I saw an ad, and I can spot an AI image from a mile away. Gen Z tho. It's just got this look to it. I can't even describe how I know. It's just got the AI vibe. I've watched videos where older people try to learn how to spot AI images with tricks and stuff and I've never used any of them. I just see it and know. I think it's because I grew up looking at real images on a computer screen all day every day and watching youtube videos and stuff. So now when an AI one pops up I just get that uncanny valley feeling. The best way I can describe it is they're too smooth.
Edit: I can do it with writing too. I can spot AI writing pretty well. Even small snippets.
