I keep seeing people say "this is AI" about images and video that are extremely obviously photoshops and other "manual" edits. And that's fucking scary, IMO.
How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI? It's completely different. No AI image or video I've ever seen has looked like a bad photoshop, CGI etc. The way AI stuff looks has a different thing to it, even really bad AI. And I fucking hate AI of all kinds, just to be clear.

    Don't think that's what's happening.

    I suspect it's similar to my coworkers who refer to everything that uses any kind of networking as "Wi-Fi."

    The other day I watched a movie at the theaters and when a very obviously CGI animal showed up on screen I heard people going "It's AI".

    So yeah I agree, people just use the names they're used to I suppose

    It's just that most people don't know what you mean when you say something is "AI generated". With context clues, they tie back to terms they're already familiar with, and are associated with fake computer generated imagery ("that's Photoshopped").

    I think most people have never even seen Adobe Photoshop, the actual software. Like, literally never laid their eyes on the gray window, the layers and tool panels, etc, yet they've still thrown the term "photoshopped" around.

    Most people can't tell the difference between the two, probably because they don't know how either of them works. And just like others have said, it's the same thing with CGI. I was watching Avatar 2 the other day and one of my friends said something about the graphics like "oh, that's probably AI", and I angrily replied "do you have any idea of how many dozens, if not hundreds of people painstakingly worked on this movie's CGI??"

    Is it that they can't differentiate them or that they don't care to? For instance; I play online RPGs, most people make tons of art for their characters, businesses, etc. majority of the time it is AI slop but sometimes it's just shit edits...I don't care for either so I'll just dismiss anything with shit filters or unnatural construction/orientation as AI slop and move on because it saves time and brain space...oh fuck I'm turning into Dr Cox in my old age...
