@futurebird @adef187 @teslatakedown.co.uk if it means something, I have the same reaction - but it's also because of knowing what's behind the technology
it's like meat eater vs. vegan looking at a steak - even not having to eat it the reactions are different on a visceral level

The other day my husband who is not a "very online" person showed me a video he liked of capybaras standing on each others back. He just found it funny and delightful. He knows it's fake obviously.
I thought it was horrible, because of the texture of their hair, the errors in the shadows, it was just made of WRONGNESS.
It really made me feel like there is something wrong with me.

Millions of views. Why doesn't this stuff just turn people off? This is like waking up and everyone is going crazy for trypophobia makeup. They all think it's wonderful and I feel like I've stumbled into the bodysnatchers movie.
As soon as I detect this stuff I click away ... even if it isn't obviously gross... the swimming, dreamlike nature of even tame images triggers nausea-- I'm talking about a physical reaction.

I don't understand why images like this don't unsettle people the way that they unsettle me. I don't claim to be able to detect all AI images this way, but this kind of thing? It shouldn't be useable for any purpose... it's just ... upsetting.
It's uncanny valley imagery, the stuff of horror stories.
(So far I have only rarely seen this kind of thing make it into a major public advertisement in NYC, that gives me a little hope)
