    People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to “educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future” and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.

    That’s my issue with people saying stuff like “I can immediately tell when a picture is made with AI and I hate how they look”

    Your assesment doesn’t take into account all the false negatives. You have no idea how many pictures have tricked you already. By definition, the picture is badly made if you can immediately tell it’s AI. That’s a bit like seeing the most flamboyantly gay person on the street and thinking all gays look like that and you can always spot them while the closeted friend you’re with flies perfectly under the radar.

      Reminds me of all the people who believe commercials and advertising doesn’t work on them. Sure, that’s why billions are spent on it. Because it doesn’t even do anything. Oh it only works on all the other people?

      That’s why it is so hard to get that stuff regulated. People believe it doesn’t work on them.

      Many unedited or using old Ai images I can detect with one look. A few more I can find by looking for inconsistencies like hands or illogical items.

      However I am sure there will be more AI generated images that may even be a little bit edited afterwards that I can’t detect.

      You will need an ai to detect them. Since at least in images ai is detectable by the way they create the files.

        In AI-generated sound you can see it in the waveform, it has less random noise altogether and it seems like a huge, well, wave. I wonder if sth similar is true for images.

          Basically yes, lack of detail, especially small things like hair or fingers. The texture/definition in AI images is usually less. Though, once again, depends on the technique being used.

    As a visually impaired person on the internet. YES! welcome to our world!

    You’re lucky enough to get an image description that helpfully describes the image.

    That description rarely tells you if it’s AI generated, that’s if the description writer even knows themselves.

    Everyone in the comments saying “look at the hands, that’s AI generated”, and I’m sitting here thinking, I just have to trust the discussion, because that image, just like every other image I’ve ever seen, is hard to fully decipher visually, let alone look for evidence of AI.

        Honestly, auto generating text descriptions for visually impaired people is probably one of the few potential good uses for LLM + CLIP. Being able to have a brief but accurate description without relying on some jackass to have written it is a bonefied good thing. It isn’t even eliminating anyone’s job since the jackass doesn’t always do it in the first place.

          I am so sorry, and i agree with your point, but i really had a good laugh at my mental image of a bonefied good thing :-)

          If you know already or it’s autocorrect, just ignore me, if not, it’s bona fide :-)

        They exist but none of them are perfect - they can’t possibly be perfect. It’s a bit of an arms race thing where AI images get more accurate and the detection software get more particular to match, however the economic incentives are on the side of the former.

      I’ve never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:

      • “clarification image with an arrow pointing at object”
      • “Picture of a butt selfie, it’s completely black”
      • “Picture of a table with nothing on it”
      • “example of lens flare shown from camera”
      • “N/A” dangerous

      Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like “” (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it’s an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.
