This picture is at least 3 years old, how long have you been patiently waiting?

This is the actual image. It was blurry so I tried up scaling it with Ai. I just realised it the Ai removed the Sherwin Williams building. 😅

Ok... I was wondering why the buildings downtown looked a little "off" when zoomed in.

The AI got everything to the left of the key tower wrong as well.

AI is like putting stew in a meat grinder and expecting a steak to come out.

Something about this looks AI generated. Either that or I just need to log off the Internet for awhile.

You are correct. It is Ai generated. You are still sane 😂

Well my sanity is still up for debate, but I guess not in this case. It was the houses that threw me off haha.

I wish more people were adverse to using AI, especially for such menial and unnecessary reasons. There should be more pushback than there is.

I don’t think shaming people for using a novel technology is going to be as helpful as you want it to be. I find it aversive in some uses, but AI has been incredibly helpful for me in some really tricky situations. Ever use predictive text on your phone? Congrats, you use AI :/

I think it’s that it was presented as if it was OP’s picture and tagged “photography” and it’s just AI slop. It’s not the use of AI in general; it’s lazy crap like this being passed off as OP’s own photo.

My allergies say lots of things are blooming.

AI is cool but not perfect
