Thank you for your purchase. Here is the seed to receive beautiful flowers: 735037659271543.
Use this with model Juggernaut XL v11 at 1280x720, DPM++ 2M Karras and hires fix set to 1.4. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns at this time.
I've seen this for approximately forever, especially poppies (they got creative with that amount of petal surface). They were simply photoshopped back then.
We talk too much about hallucination and too little about the more mundane elephant in the room that AI, whatever its effectiveness, will simply be used more for scam and deception than positive uses.
I find it fascinating that this is a popular anti-bitcoin argument, but (often) the same people making that argument actually find AI useful. So they experience a mild case of cognitive dissonance.
It's not just a few scams though. It's a lot of scams, and a lot of propaganda, and a lot of CSAM, and even beyond the overtly negative, it's a tidal wave of slop in music, in publishing, in everything else.
Some technology has more negative use cases than positive; this appears to be one of them.
We're about to see our political campaigns flooded with fake videos, slander, fabrications, and misinformation. Used to be you could be relatively certain if something was a video it was too much effort to be photoshopped. Not true any more.
The same was true for photographs yet we survived following the invention of photoshop. The truth is that you don't even need video or photos to trick stupid people. Text alone allows for political campaigns flooded with slander, fabrications, and misinformation and some percentage of the population will fall for it. I'd say the best thing we can do is better educate the public to think critically and become media savvy, but instead we'll be forcing our children to read bible verses in school so I don't see the situation improving any time soon.
I’m curious as to both of your media markets, because my perception is that this is already the mainstream.
AI generated political ads are something I see multiple times per day. Not even just shadow actors on social media, but also TV ads from registered lobbying groups
And comment sections of the social media I consume are filled with “AI!” on any post about a politically sensitive topic even from reputable sources.
When I work as a freelancer, I get a lot of requests lately to create fake AI manipulated images for scams. Especially requests to generate fake IDs using AI. Personally, I feel that there is a need for AI watermarks on image generation models, but at the same time, if watermarks become mandatory, it would effectively kill the business viability of those models. It feels like the same problem as guns and gun control.
This should inform entrepreneurs: people want unique and beautiful flowers. I don’t see why it’s not possible to do at least some modifications with gene editing methods.
I believe grok embeds some modern standard provenance metadata (haven't checked what data it contains though), and Google uses their own invisible watermarking (that unfortunately only google can detect...).

Just make scams illegal — problem solved.

I dont think a few scams here and there outweight positive usecases
I don't think a few stock photo replacements here and there outweigh the negative use-cases.

Maybe it will make ppl to be skeptic?

I take it you haven't met people.

those oversized "teddy bear" pictures are horrifying, looks like something from day of the triffids
The monkey orchid was featured in one of the corridor digital video (in the context of ai scams), there are few similar species

What the world needs is more new and innovative invasive species that were cooked up in a lab to look cool :)
Pretty smart, pretty smart.

Medieval grifts are back. We urgently need a modern Jack and the Beanstalk movie.
Image generators should embed their prompts, and eBay should run a slop detector.
