Well, I was going to joke about “a chicken in every pot, a parking spot for every home”
But it turns out that that is basically what the original slogan was about completed with “…and a car in every backyard, to boot.“ Conflating progress and prosperity with car-centrism and businesss interests… turns out it’s been there the whole time.
I would say it’s not even that it’s “covert” but that it’s at least seemingly arbitrary.
All those other ones it’s clear what condition you may fulfill to get the discount or understand why you didn’t. This one is just a vague “the algorithm said so.”
It’s disgusting yes but I don’t see it as any different than the magazine-style clipping cut-and-paste. More expensive and worse for the environment I suppose,…
But none of the people involved in creating it care if it’s real, just as before, and the realism isn’t even the point. So it’s functionally identical.
You don’t need to tell that it’s real vs AI. If the objective is to create a picture of the person naked all you do is go “yeah that’s not what I like like naked” and move on.
There is no way other than random chance that the AI would know about a random scar, mole, or a million other details it will get wrong. And I expect that it will have that plasticky airbrushed look, but AI is getting better about that so maybe not.
Someone should do side-by-side AI slop fake nudes compared to the real thing. I bet they get it wrong as much as they do everything else, i.e. constantly.
Hey me too!
