they probably made chat gpt write it up. If they were willing to lie with the photos, why not lie with the story as well, it's not as if this person will suddenly decide to put in effort.

A gun can be a tool, It's not as good of an excuse as you think.
AIs can be used for good or for evil, this person purposely misrepresented themselves. the simple fact is they used a tool to deceive others.

Reply to comment by TheFriendlyArtificer in Crochet enthusiasts asked ChatGPT for patterns. The results are ‘cursed' by rejs7
Not sure whether this is just a joke but it's totally believable and hilarious either way. The Internet is so full of recipes that want to tell you 6 pages about abuela in the old country before a crappy guacamole recipe they copied from the food channel.
This is exactly what's going to proliferate if learning/mimicking models keep gaining popularity. I'll be a downward spiral of copypasta. The more of this stuff that gets posted as original content, the worse it'll become as other ones copy it.

I have two Tesla and my wife has no idea who Musk is. Its just a car brand to her and she works in a garage. Its like I have no idea who the CEO of any car company is except Tesla and its only because of reddit that I know who he is.

A recent app update lets you mute certain subs. I got rid of combatfootage and its ghoulish ‘last moments’ drone shots this way.

That fictional story is terrible, you can tell they are not creative at all.

>Instagram also announced last year it would be leaning harder into algorithmic recommendation of content. On Meta’s second-quarter earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that Reels videos accounted for 20 percent of the time people spent on Instagram, saying that Reels engagement was “growing quickly” and that the company saw a 30 percent increase in the amount of time people spent engaging with Reels.
No, Mr. Zuckerberg, it's not because people are actually interested in reels. It's because people go on instagram to see photos posted by their friends, and their feed gets spammed with reels that are loosely related to something else they searched for or clicked on in the internet.
Pro-tip: Just because I bought my kids sneakers last week doesn't mean I want to scroll through endless videos of strangers doing basketball tricks.

These look obviously fake to me but if you haven't used Midjourny or aren't a photographer I guess they could pass.

To be fair, you work perm nights as security for 6 years and ask people if you have a soul afterwards.

I feel like the portraits with a bit of the subject’s story is what made them special to people, until of course the artist fessed up about using AI to generate them. I suppose there is still some artistic value in them even knowing that.

I will let you decide for yourself, but I warn you that some things can't be unseen. In this image, it's not just the feet nor the toes.
