    Who can tell what is real or fake these days? Probably only superhuman AI.

    It doesn’t seem possible that anyone could think that photo was real, especially when the subject of AI was already floating around. Looking at it made my brain hurt.

    Yes, a bit freaky and disturbing to me.

    Does it matter, I didn't think the 'photo' was very good anyway even if it was real
    whatever that is meant to mean.

    especially when the subject of AI was already floating around. Looking at it made my brain hurt.

    Now AI can create what people call art, it's a new problem.
