AI is a problem right now, your frustration is proof enough of that. This will only continue to get worse, unfortunately.
Great photo, btw.
My frustration is proof that people are incapable of rational thought without their hand being held.
I'm disappointed I have to do the same thing, again, in the same comment thread.
Oh sure OK, there isn't a larger issue here at all, it's just people being dumb. Sure pal.
Correct. The issue in this specific comment thread is not that AI is hard to discern. That is a discussion for a different thread. The discussion here is that people are being lazy and using AI as an excuse to dismiss stuff instead of using rational thought and attempting to solve the answer for themselves.
As said.
I don't have enough crayons to keep explaining this.
My intent was to commiserate and call out how AI is ruining the internet and creating additional friction represented in this thread, and I don't agree it needs a whole discussion elsewhere. To your point, AI is a crutch for the lazy and will contribute to the further lack of critical thinking evidenced here. But, I can see you're set on being condescending and pedantic, so I'll happily show myself out.
The frustration rather shows that The AI hate brigade that sees AI behind everything is a problem.
Making an absolute ass out of themselves again and again, being wrong, self righteous, self aggrandising and, most importantly, absolutely annoying.
When people question if every photo is real or fake, thats a problem, and if you don't recognize that you're a fool.
