I was in Spitalfields market at christmas and someone had a stand selling a giant pile of AI slop images of London. I thought I was going insane cause he was just in with the rest of the artists
so many telltale signs each time
patterns tend to look jumbled the smaller they get, especially grids are easy to notice
thin lines such as cables in the distance can vanish into nothing or merge together
there might be a random smudge somewhere for no reason
sometimes it looks like literal sludge
Surely this must be ragebait though? She's acknowledging it's AI after many reactions about it, but gives some bs reason why she doesn't want to remove it and then asks for thoughts - even more interaction bait.
And I guess it is working as it seems to be her most interacted with recent post.
