Call Emberlynn Pinkle an online creep, but she’s Cassandra if her fan fiction is a prediction of future episodes regarding Blitzø, Stolas and Satan! I’ll eat my shoe if that happens!
I made a prototype of a cover for the fantasy book I’m trying to write, and need to know something.
(Please forgive the crude attempt at a watermark.)
You may notice, I’m not the most artistitcly talented. My mum says there’s no need to get a second version made by an artist with talent, that this will be fine for a published book. I however don’t. As expensive as it might be, I’m convinced the actual book - which I plan to sell for actual money - will need a professionally cover.
My question:
Would You Buy A Book With Cover Art Of This Quality?
I spy, with my little eye, a photo that was faked by an AI image generator! Can you spot the clues?
FB is turning into a parade of fake AI images churned out by click-farming pages. More misinformation is on the way. Learn some tricks for spotting AI photos!
And there ARENT those people who pick the most obvious answer. So we all actively try to balance the outcome. But here we aren’t balancing against anyone else. So we end up with a vanilla extract cake and a wizard hat that is the size of the fucking Crisler building
Soooo…
Because whiskers are bigger than the rest of the cat I couldn’t stop my imaginatin from forming a comparison to a spider.
This is Falumus my Kobold Paladin. The picture was made by JessiejArtist on Twitter. The original price was £70, and I tipped £16.36 because they said they had money issues and asked for a $20 US tip.
Does this seem like I got a fair trade, or do you think I paid too much?
a lot of people still have trouble spotting AI art and i just want to give some quick tips on how i usually quickly recognize it
often it’s the smoothness of the image that sets off my initial alarms, a distinct lack of minor textures you’d expect from real things.
sometimes the texture doesn’t match what it was supposed to represent, and often things look oddly soft and rubbery. the light doesn’t bounce off it quite right and it feels over-rendered.
i’ve seen weird random blurring on many AI works as well
The longer you look, the more you realize that it’s lopsided in several places, positions and distances of objects make no sense.
A closer inspection usually makes you notice the smudged details, which i think is what truly gives it away - AI mimics real patterns, but doesn’t always nail them.
More complex small objects get smudged and blended together, and complex patterns look more like an oil spill rather than anything designed with clear vision and intent.
If there are any letters, they never look real or readable
I’ve seen people AI generate “"historical”“ objects and paintings and post them with a fake caption, claiming that they are real
Be wary, because we live in a very uncertain age when it comes to information. Learn to spot AI-generated images, reverse image search and fact-check when something seems off.
In this case it’s just a fake camera, but this technology can, will, and already is used in much more malicious ways.
