[QUOTE="doctorhook, post: 9238093, member: 58401"] As far as I can tell, nobody has used the word “abomination” in their reply yet, but I’ll go that far. These are intriguing, detailed. images wherein the more closely you look, the more details you realize are totally wrong in unsettling ways. It’s like looking into some particularly diabolical hell, where every face is a monster and every sign is a curse. I probably sound hyperbolic, but I truly believe it. Those images are hideous, and look more hideous the longer I look at them. They’re technically bad, but they also now remind me of the insideous disruption they represent, which should scare everyone. A few years ago, internet slang for pictures like this was “cursed images”, regardless of creator. Those are images that are deliberately wrongly/badly drawn to make the viewer uncomfortable. Generative AI (probably, I assume) doesn’t intend to make its viewers uncomfortable, but the outcome is the same: profoundly unsettling images. Why is there so much detail when all the details are wrong?? The only thing generative AI seems to draw well are beautiful faces, likely because the horndogs who invented this technology considered pretty faces to be the type of images in the highest demand.
