@cstross@wandering.shop Far too much faith is placed in ai for images. How on earth did we get to the point where people assume ai knows how bodies or clocks or indeed any devices move or work. It's only harvesting images, using recognisable sets of pixels in proximity to other pixels. The real surprise is how ai gets any image vaguely correct in the end, even with chance, but yet people are blindly assuming it knows everything about the content of the images it steals.

@byrnensorg@mastodon.ie @cstross@wandering.shop You’re trying to mislead us I think. It’s her ear isn’t it?

@byrnensorg@mastodon.ie @cstross@wandering.shop The big toes are on the correct side. Don't know what you're complaining about.

@byrnensorg@mastodon.ie @cstross@wandering.shop Oh wow the scroll down is brutal on that picture when it doesn't entirely fit on the screen yet. I find it quite telling how good the AIs are at getting cute girls faces correct though.
