@davidaugust Uh, is that an AI image used to illustrate the quote?
edit: image has been fixed now, thanks!

@davidaugust @ai6yr Those are some bizarre “scissors.”

@davidaugust Er, I hate to ask, but where is the illustration from?

@unlambda @davidaugust I was going to say the same thing. What is up with those uh.... scissors?

@davidaugust@mastodon.online ...ok but why illustrate this with an AI slop image.
-
@unlambda @davidaugust I was going to say the same thing. What is up with those uh.... scissors?
@sundogplanets @davidaugust Yeah, it's clearly slop. Kind of a funny choice to illustrate a quote about "human dignity and the common good."

@trevorparker @davidaugust Oooh, good call, AI slop. Unboosted.

Edit: turns out it was AI, I messed up. Fooled and foolish. Sorry about that.
nope, processed stock photography, the scissors are occluded in the original, this is a filter on a stock photo. I found it as part of the Brown Black and White Modern Labor Day Instagram Post template on Canva. It is not AI:

it is not slop! You make something of yourself when you assume.
I can see why you may have thought it was, but it is a stock photo put through a filter. I would not use AI for a post like this for reasons obvious.

@davidaugust @ai6yr @unlambda That is probably the thing I hate the most about the prevalence of slop AI images. They make me doubt EVERYTHING.
Thank you for this!

@sundogplanets @davidaugust @unlambda I suspect the "filter" you used is actually AI, as well. Which is typical nowadays. It's been asked to redraw the original image in a different style, and it's not "filtering", it's AI slopping it.
-
@liquor_american @davidaugust @trevorparker Filter is definitely AI redraw, it's slopping the original image, sadly.
And end user would not know this without careful inspection. Just out of curiosity, which filter is it? -
@liquor_american @sundogplanets @davidaugust @unlambda Yeah, looking at the original vs. the "filtered", it's sloppified. Unfortunate, and I know David did not do it deliberately... So easy for this to happen nowadays.

I am sure. The lighting on the stock image lends to the geometry of the scissors becoming less distinct without much manipulation.
The filter is a simple "etching" filter. The source image set ups the reality of the spacial reality of the scissors becoming vague and unclear/artificial seeming.
-

@trevorparker
Specialized, but they're a thing. They work like spring-loaded so they return to "open" on their own after you squeezed them.IIRC I've seen this type (just bigger) being used for shearing sheep.

nope, again. It is a simple filter, no AI:

it is not sloppified. I did not do so. Period.
It is an anomaly of the universe that human vision and cameras can easily encounter reality that does not seem real.
It is almost a visual version of a Tiffany-like problem: real does not always seem real ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_problem ).
