Comment on The elders crave the slop

It’s interesting to see the older people in my life not recognize clearly AI generated content that seems obvious. My theory is older folks don’t play video games so aren’t used to seeing digitally generated images and how realistic they can be, but also the subtle things that make it noticeably fake.
To be fair, the first time I saw a modern AI generated picture, I thought it was real. You can spot it when you see a bunch of AI generated pictures and get used to the style. I find that they have a weird sheen and bokeh effect to them, or a high contrast. It’s uncanny.
Possibly that they’re too clear and too perfect. As most cameras and pictures aren’t that clear. They’re kind of like renaissance paintings where everyone is perfectly staged and captured.
I think it also has to do with how closely someone is looking. AI images look amazing at a glance, but a deeper inspection shows the weird unnatural flaws. I figured that some percentage of older people just glance at the image and take the immediate reaction.

I suspect poor eyesight is also a factor.
