@burningTyger Yes: but if you click through, the original larger image looks a bit more plausible. Except it's greyed-out until the website fully goes live in a few hours. If it *is* AI generated, then the potential for blowback is enormous.
The original image is not marked as AI:
But most of the images on that profile with that topic are:

@cstross What's all that supposed to be? Chairs winding through the room? Two tables floating into one, the girl reading stuff on the table in the front while hers is empty? A weird lokking box with a plant on it that grows into the table and a chair next to it? This is AI generated.
@burningTyger My eyesight isn't good enough to examine images. (I'm awaiting cataract surgery in one eye and am half-blind in the other.)

What's this say about society?
I thought "made with real cheese" or "no artificial flavors" was bad. Why we making fake cheese anyway... profits for stock investors...
Always fighting against evil we are.

Really looking forward to the AI bubble bursting.
AI will hurt the economy before it helps it. Here’s what comes after, according to Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz | Fortune
The short-term pain is real, and we are not ready for it. The long-term picture, Stiglitz argues, is something else entirely.

@cstross This is how they get us.
Writers would never use AI-generated slop writing, but they'll happily use AI-generated slop imagery.
Artists would never use AI-generated slop imagery, but they'll happily display art to AI-generated slop music.
Musicians would never use AI-generated slop music, but they'll happily use AI-generated slop writing for lyrics.(And nobody cares about AI-generated slop code.)

> EDIT: aaaaaand they used AI-generated artwork
️That AI illustration isn't visible on their website now, so I assume it was a mistake and they removed it when they noticed.

@cstross Unfortunately I've seen this a lot - authors using AI artwork based on theft while decrying theft of their writing....
It's more of leopards eating faces, I guess...

_My_ field requires human finesse and insight, but those other fields are perfectly well served with AI slop. Which makes it really fascinating how many developers willingly destroy their code bases with slop. (Some are forced to, but many enough do it eagerly and willingly...) (Yes, I'm a developer. Yes, I refuse to work with genAI.)

Yeah, interesting times, indeed...

@datarama @Lemmus @cstross It depends, it's all built on a massive amount of subsidies, and even then, it looks like it's already doing more damage than even the slop pushers are willing to tolerate (although they're still in denial).
I wouldn't be surprised if it goes the way you say, but also not if this ends blowing up in their faces.

@ainmosni @Lemmus @cstross I really don't know. And that scares me, to be honest. The slop machines got a lot better than I thought they would, and also they improved faster than I thought they would.
Software dev is basically the only thing I can do, so if the entire field does get steamrolled by AI, I'm pretty screwed.
But hey: *Usually* the smart money isn't on the very worried guy who happens to have a clinical anxiety disorder or two being right. I could well be wrong!

@cstross
AI has shown us one thing. We vastly underestimate the complexity, skill and creativity behind *other* people's work. It's never our work that AI can replace only those minor things other people do.
