Seriously, are these really the best examples they could come up with?

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?

Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it.

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?

Yeah, the "3 lonely selfies -> fake 2006 party photo" is the most 2020s thing I've ever seen in my life.

> Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it.

Well, that's like the entire point of social media anyway, isn't it? People there will _love_ this. Ugh ...

I’m less concerned about faking being at a party with friends and more with the 2006 timestamp on said photo!

Can you imagine finding a stack of photos in the basement with timestamps of the Before AI times and wondering whether they are real or just got swapped with generated and printed fakes? Scary!

It’s cool, folks… nothing bad is going to happen. Right? Right?!

Is that 5 pillows on the original (messy) bed down to 4 pillows in the clean version?

>The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

How is that sad? Why is your mothers joy sad?

This is an artificial modern world problem.

For thousands of years people have told embellished stories, and humanity has thrived upon it. Tall tales, fish stories. Heck, that's still the average person's experience unless they've really worked their critical thinking muscles.

Today's working adults are used to the short thirty-year "safe space" of smartphones and internet. We grew up in a temporary meta stability where "truth" was "recorded" and could be "relied upon", and now that the fundamentals are shifting, we're complaining that the physical world is amenable to storytelling and imagination once again.

Cry me a river. This is awesome and is a direct consequence of everything I ever wanted the future to be: magical creative superpowers. I wanted to graduate into the world that is emerging now rather than spend the first third of my career in incrementalism and slow progress.

2008 - 2020 sucked. What a total lull. AI is healing these things and putting us back on track for the jet pack future we grew up dreaming about. It's taking us back to a creative world without shitty platforms controlling what we say and do, and without a ceiling on what we can accomplish.

It feels like every day we're unwrapping a new present or several. Not small things, but reality-shattering things that fill me with inspiration to build and explore. It's so much fun.
