Lito, a self-taught Japanese artist who began creating intricate, hand-carved art on fallen leaves as a way to manage his ADHD. He carefully selects each leaf & carves whimsical patterns that often depict animals, objects & landscapes - transforming delicate leaves into complex scenes. Art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature.
@smlx4 one of the worst consequences of generative AI is that it made me extremely sceptical about anything I see online. This is beautiful and I’d love for it to be real but I have a hard time believing that it is.
@mafe@smlx4 The horrible part is that only a year ago, faking something like that would take a lot of time and quite a bit of photoshop savvy. And while it was definitely possible, why would any one bother with that for next to no gain? No, there's no pain so why not flood the internet with slob for a few followers?
I will say that the consistency of the images is what convinces me that they are in fact real. You cannot prompt a gen ai model to produce such consistent outputs.
