What gets me about these AI bros is that they could use photoshop to fix the minor flaws like Trumps hand having the wrong color under it (apparently white hand on black skin fucks up the algorithm) but they never do.
They are such talentless hacks that even the most trivial work a real photographer do is insurmountable to them.
AI be like : white hand on black skin? Insufficient data in training material
Quagmire: Don't worry, I've got magazines full of that. Giggity.
That's how we got two tone Malone!
They could, but that would require them to understand how to use Photoshop rather than just typing in "Trump Black Campaign Popular" into a LLM and weeding out a few images that don't look entirely surreal.
The scary shit about AI imagining is that, eventually, folks are going to get wise and start smoothing these out (by applying actual labor to the images rather than just letting the computer do all the work).
And then you really will have folks posting "Politician In Front Of A Large Crowd of Unlikely Supporters" images that aren't easily debunked or dismissed.
You'll also have a ton of FUD, such that real images that have been touched up by Photoshop are going to routinely be dismissed as AI generated. So someone's inevitably going to come through with the "Joe Biden wasn't really at Event X" leading into "Joe Biden has been dead for 10 days and the White House won't admit it" conspiracies. And that's going to get very ugly relatively quickly.
I'd actually like to see someone take these photos and use them the opposite way. "Look at Trump giving hand outs to Blacks!"
They have zero talent. The only thing we have going for us at this point is how careless and stupid they are with these technologies.
