Edit: I feel stupid I didn't see the original OP already mentioning three finger issue. I'll just leave it here.
They probably didn't care to check those images in detail.
Everywhere I go now I see places that blatantly used ChatGPT for their menus or posters and they all look the same.
It feels almost existential to the service, I know its a bit of survivor bias but so many images you can tell immediately are ChatGPT vs other image providers, and I feel many people are sick of them.
They'd pick a kebab from a menu of professionally made kebab pictures the printer has in stock. Or worse, they'd take pics of their own plated food with a dead-centre point flash in a dark cupboard or something and you end up with awful-looking food, no matter how good.
The original photo I took was at https://www.reddit.com/r/Tovala/comments/1pfuwrb/meatloaf_pa... - it's a cheeseburger meatloaf with potato wedges taken with a phone camera. And I was going for a consistent documentation approach for the photograph, not trying for menu proper.

I suspect that someone doing a menu could take a properly plated meal from the kitchen (rather than me photographing on top of my oven) and have it get redone for a good image for a menu without fundamentally changing what is being served.
The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.
For thousands of years people would tell embellished stories and humanity thrived on it. Tall tales and fish stories. Heck, that's still the average person's experience unless they've worked their critical thinking muscles.
Now that we're used to the short thirty year safe space of smartphones and internet - a temporary meta stability - we're complaining that the physical world is amenable to storytelling and imagination once again.
Cry me a river. Because this is awesome and this is everything I wanted the future to be. I wanted to graduate into the world that is emerging now rather than spend the first third of my career in incrementalism.
2008 - 2020 sucked. AI is healing things. It's taking us back to a creative world without shitty platforms controlling what we say, do, and reach.
It feels like every day we're unwrapping a new present. Not small things, but reality shattering things that fill me with inspiration to build and explore. It's so much fun.
No thank you
There are many many people that will take an image as an undeniable fact of the real world. While before you could fake(photoshop) things it took more time then 30 seconds.
I wouldnt regulate these aspects, because I believe pandoras box is already wide open. Regulating anything wouldn't change much.
Most depressing thing I have read today
But I see your point too. I too like to generate cute and funny images and share it with my friends and family.
But this being done at scale can lead to overall degradation of the online experience.
>Generating 1,000 images with a powerful AI model, such as Stable Diffusion XL, is responsible for roughly as much carbon dioxide as driving the equivalent of 4.1 miles in an average gasoline-powered car. In contrast, the least carbon-intensive text generation model they examined was responsible for as much CO2 as driving 0.0006 miles in a similar vehicle
That said for single images the old model was already okayish for prototypes
gpt-image-2.5-sunburst: 1421
gpt-image-2.5-flare: 1399
gpt-image-2 (medium): 1381
mai-image-2.6: 1331
Even with LM Arena being flawed, this is significant. I was planning to do a writeup on the original gpt-image-2 as it crushed every complex image comprehension benchmark I had...I'm glad I procrastinated since ChatGPT Images 2.5 seems like an even better starting point to test out what these models can actually do nowadays.
Many people still think AI images output the wrong number of fingers on a regular basis.
Last time I used a frontier image model it made me a seal with three hands so…
Except you need to have taken a photo of the unmade bed, uploaded it to ChatGPT, prompted for the 'fake made bed' version, and downloaded the image.
Surely it's less effort to just make the bed?
How is that sad? Why is your mothers joy sad?
Imagine a time where a small moment is actually a smaller amount experienced then the remixed one. At one point you will have more memories of fake events, and more emotional beats for said fake events than real ones.
AI videos showing you a second life if you just had chosen a different path.
People will be depressed from it.
What is the point of having a fake picture of your dog in a costume? What’s the point of having a fake picture about being at a party?
The only use case I can think of for this is for someone who likes to make up stories and lie about what they’ve done. Is that really the target market?
Mark where you at the party today? Yes of course look at these pictures I took (╥﹏╥)
Ours cars are atrocious. We can have the most powerful artificial minds imagine 1000 images from simple prompts, and that takes as much energy as moving a human being 4 miles.
And that will get more energy efficient. Gas cars have barely budged.
Gas cars are the problem, not AI.
(Note, however, that OpenAI's image model is much much larger than SDXL; however, we don't have precise numbers for it. Nonetheless, misinformation js misinformation.)
It’s annoying to see your name come up - I already can predict what will be said.
I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?
Separately--yes, I would love carbon receipts for everything. Such a system would be fascinating and do real good in this world.
Thankfully web browsing is no where near that.
