A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AltAt the top is a screenshot from Wikimedia Commons showing an image that was updated to a larger size with the comment saying "Improved image". Below it is the goose chasing meme with the goose twice asking "Where did the pixels come from?".

Wait till everyone, including audiophools, find out how their super hi-res old recordings are made. :)

What is the implication here? That someone had used AI to "upscale" the image?

The pixels were handfilled by Georg in the basement. It's his special interest and the council made the post of pixel-filler-upperer so that he too can be gainfully employed. It was either this or eating every spider in the municipality, which is his other special interest, and that sort of thing is frowned upon because of the ecological impact.

I could be okay with this solution, if we can agree to modify it so that it always makes up and adds cool crime novel details to each image.
