Is this sheep real and where can I find more pictures?
Looks like an AI gen at a quick inspection. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Yup, AI (Midjourney, to be precise).
Good to know. I was worried someone didn't sheer their sheep and it was getting really hot under there.
I think it's actually supposed to be an alpaca.
*An alpaca with Shrek ears and the eyes of a demon.
Seriously, I don't know how people can find it cute, it becomes more and more uncanny and downright horrible the more you look at it.
Do you just know that from seeing it on the midjourney feed, or are you able to judge the model just from looking at it? 😮
No, I did a Google image search and found out how it was made. I'm definitely not good enough to know which AI program made an image on sight!
Maybe someday 🧐
Lighting is usually a good giveaway.
Take this alpaca(?). Standing outside, casting a relatively clear shadow, and yet still mostly lit uniformly. The background doesn't necessarily contradict where the sun is supposed to be, but it also doesn't seem give any support to it either.
I'm assuming the opposite, that AI will get so good that I won't be able to tell without searching for the image/video online. Terrifying, really.
I think that's totally possible, but I also think it's equally likely that people become better and better at recognizing it. I remember when I was a kid what now looks like terrible CGI in movies was quite believable. People are really good at recognizing patterns, and especially for any kids growing up with AI they're going to get a lot of exposure to it and likely become very good at spotting it. For all anyone knows it may just become inbred too if they can't find a way to weed out AI from the training.
I'm not saying the hype the ai industry is pushing about only improving from here couldn't happen, but it's hardly a foregone conclusion from what I've seen so far.
I'll definitely be deliberately trying to learn how to spot AI because I think it will become a more and more essential skill as time goes on. Hope you're right!
