OOF that AI slop imagery - like, it's so bad now, you can see it from a mile away. how did ai image synthesis get worse over time? they let it eat it's own garbage, that's how - gigo is reinforcing all the bad ideas RAPIDLY.
look at those clouds - you know, the ones that look like a blackmetal band logo - everywhere. and the strange thing going on where the mountains of pakistan meet india - wtf is that supposed to be, continental quilting?

why do you need ai to generate a (bad) picture of earth?
right? two tenths of a second on a google image search, or, 1240w of gpu grunt in a data center in montana devouring 3 gallons of water only to be this fucking worthless.... great decision that
Here's another example of unnecessary AI slop that can't get anything right. The real Dodgers uniform very glaringly doesn't have pinstripes, like it does in this AI generated slop. It's a pretty iconic uniform; it's just white with blue lettering. Yet it couldn't even get it right. Why do we have to keep pretending this shit is supposed to be the future.
Because the people that rely on it are not used to and are actually training themselves not to think. Need a picture? Generate it. They will give no consideration as to whether it's the right tool or not. That's what slop does to your brain...
Also it's literally just a picture of earth. There are a thousand and one pictures of earth on the internet that look better.
There is zero reason to make this photo with AI. It's more effort than just googling a photo.
that's the whole point of the fetish
technically space isn't a mile away.
the most widely cited boundary is the Kármán line, set at 100 km (62 miles) above mean sea level by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.
you don't even need to reach space to see how fuckin bad this ai slop is.
Couldn't they find a picture of earth? I mean the Deep Space Climate Observatory takes a photo of a single side of the planet every hour or so.

it's not an availability thing methinks... it's a fetish thing.
they really think that AI should provide everything. then they won't even have to move, get out of bed etc., they can just become one with their friend the algo, and the slop will flow right to them.
The temporarily embarrassed millionaires will never have that dream fulfilled but they can finally become bed ridden masters of chips. What a waste.
