AI has always stuck out to me, but recently it has started becoming even more blatantly obvious. I experienced my first bout of severe derealization from a PTSD trigger the other day and now that I'm out of it, all AI images look just as wrong as the whole world did when I was derealizing. Like the AI stands out even more now that I spent a few days with a severely altered perception of the world and was questioning what was real or not. Everything is back to normal except AI. AI looks even worse now. It is taking some getting used to lol.

Thank got they don't have a product created for intelligent people. Revenue would drop by 100%.

Lol "Gen z".

We all have eyes, don't we?

I can confirm, my teens hate AI and are experts at spotting it. They will dissuade me from buying anything that advertises with AI.

whenever I see a company using AI art for their campaigns, I automatically ignore that company

I'd think AI imagery is uniquely toxic for product marketing because it reads as an admission the product is worse than the picture.

We know you'll pick the most flattering angle, and the one perfectly formed unit out of 500, with a photo of a real shirt. It's the upper bound on reality, but it's still reality. If you have to hallucinate instead, you probably can't even make that cherry-picked example look good.

My 6 year old habitually asks me "is this AI or just Photoshop?".

Gen X here, and I probably can't tell without trying harder than I care to. Why "probably?" Because I've always despised marketing because it's all lies of heavy exaggeration, implication without actually claiming, and completely unrelated crap that somehow entices dumbasses to buy it (e.g. scantily clad models used to sell cars, tech, etc.).

I block every ad I can everywhere I might encounter them - and when I can't? The mute button works wonders. The harder they try to sell me, the more full of shit I know they are. I don't like being tracked, but that's practically an afterthought compared to the absolute disdain I have for marketing & the amount of bullshit I have to filter in order to glean the slightest bit of actually useful and believable info from an ad.

This sorry world seems to be run almost entirely on bullshit, and who can sling it most effectively. I look at the current White House resident as the culmination of all that is wrong in a world built on lies - lies made not only acceptable, but normal and expected all in the name of "marketing."

Fuck capitalism and the manipulative, greedy, power-tripping assholes that use "marketing" to steal money by convincing people their lives will be so much better with widget Y when they told us just last year that widget X would do the same.

No, I probably can't tell real from AI as easily as the younger set, but that's because I don't care to look at either one. It's all just an endless push to separate me from the pittance of funds I have left over after funneling the bulk of the few funds I've managed to acquire from one rich asshole's pocket to another - never staying in my account long enough to even earn a penny of interest.

You can tell when it just looks too perfect or uniform imo

Okay, I wanted to know if I could do this and had a look if I could find a game or something like that. Turns out, yes, I could find one. And yes, I can see it. I got 19 of 20 right on medium difficulty for a start. I'll try some different combinations but it surprised me how fast I was.

I'm definitely not gen z

Edit: and the site is a wild mix of languages for me. But it'll do.

This needs more layers of screenshot

I've seen this "78%" figure thrown around but haven't been able to find the actual source for it. Does anyone know? As far as I can tell, it traces back to the Reddit thread, but I also know that consumer reports aren't always or even usually made easily available to the general public.
