As a commercial photographer I have been waiting for pushback from consumers wanting to see actual photos of the actual product they're thinking about buying. But it seems nobody gives a shit and is happy with the slop. It's maddening. Some of the shit I've seen, technical garments with product shots that hallucinate non existent features, panels in the wrong place, its bonkers. It's not even subtle details.

Looking at this picture for more than 10 seconds, I've already seen a dozen problems with it. This AI picture is only of those "find all the mistakes" pictures they had on the back of cereal boxes

What is that hanging under the steering bar? What's up with the chain? What's up with the brand and model names? The saddle, of course, tt the crank arms are missing, the bike has disc breaks but also time breaks, and the rear wheel rim break is floating in the air, the....

I could go on, but yeah.

This is not even an AI problem, this is a fucking lazy human being problem for not taking even 5 seconds to check the results of the image.

REI has really fallen off

people who use ai are ao lazy, they wont even look at the output.

One of those newfangled two-way bikes? What a time to be alive.

REI has really gone off the deep end. Insane price increases, union busting, and now slop peddling.

In my head I'm thinking "They probably had 10 different people count the number of fingers on each hand, and nobody looked at the bike." But the more I look it's pretty clear that AI also did the editorial review. 'cuz nobody noticed her conjoined mono-finger or her levitating right foot. Not to mention all the shit wrong with the bike, like the extra rear brake, pedals only on the right, dislocated left brake lever, wrong spoke and spoke nipple spacing, and probably a dozen other things I'm not seeing.

Lmaooo the brake that floats over the top of the back wheel. Think it's supposed to look like a rim brake:

Not only is it it floating, but for some reason, it has a bungie cord/spring/ hook attaching it to a spoke? It's supposed to look like it has disk brakes, as well.

Goes to show that the problem with AI is not only AI, it's also that most humans are too lazy to even do a cursory check on what AI just actually did.

Anyone looking at this picture for more than 2 seconds will see the mistake, yet it went in, meaning that nobody bothered to even look at it

And there in lies the problem: AI is a tool that is confidently wrong about 10-40% of the time, depending on the engine used, so you cannot trust the output, yet people just use it as the "lazyloungertool-2000" and have it do all the work without taking a second to actually do their fucking job

It's the reason why professors doing prompt injection still works, students using AI are not only too lazy to do the work, they're even too lazy to check the work output (that they themselves had to make in the first place)

the pedals are not in a line, and the spokes of the wheels. djees. There are spokes coming out of spokes.

And rightfully so

Not to mention her right foot hovering in the air oddly lol

lol the chain

New marketing strategy: Engagement through AI hallucination rage.

What losers.
