Funny thing I'm noticing is how quickly AI-generated art has started to look extremely cheap and untrustworthy because we're associating it with a certain kind of low-budget ad (eg. scammy mobile games). Art that comes cheap is going to look cheap, regardless of your fancy tech.
In case you missed the news.. Grok 2 is here. A powerful AI assistant, right inside your X app.

You can't help the association. Even if you can't consciously recognize AI art, your brain is going to go, "Thing that looks like X shows up at very annoying times and is annoying, therefore I do not like the look of X."

“Countess is a heart-pounding story from Suzan Palumbo, who has been steadily building herself up as a writer to watch in the speculative space, and this is a book you won’t want to miss.” – Reactor Join us on Sept 15 for the book launch of Countess! @sillysyntax
