    I legitimately do not understand how this is a thing that people want. Never in my life have I thought to myself ‘I’d really like a realistic looking photo of myself doing something that did not happen.’ Like, outside of scammers, why is this something somebody would want?

      scammers and people who live their (fake) life on social media are the exact people who need something like this. Unfortunately for us all that is the majority.

        The fake life on social thing is very weird to me. It’s one (if that) step removed from pathological lying. Idk, I just don’t see how trying to make others jealous of a thing that I never did would make me feel better. I guess it’s the dopamine hit of a ‘like’, but to me it just seems totally disconnected.

        I can understand overplaying something you did a little, but to use the OP example of a woman laying in a field with an astronaut, is there really that many people going ‘well me and my boyfriend had a great date the other day. Sorry you can’t meet him, he’s back in fucking space. Long distance is hard.’

          I’m imagining a scandal in a few years where an influencer fakes a bf/gf who was generated by this lmao low key could happen (assuming this thing manages consistency of one face)

    I guess they should have asked the AI to come up with a prompt that isn’t super creepy and stalkerish.

      Or at the very least grammatically correct. It baffles me that a billion dollar corporation can’t be bothered to proofread their copy.

    our democracy is already straining under the flood of misinformation and over-information; this will just sink the final nail in the coffin. my parents already can’t tell current ai slop from actual news and video

      The thing is it doesn’t matter. People already couldn’t tell if things were real or not. Facts have been out the window for a long time.

      This doesn’t change anything. People are just stupid.

    Only thing I have ised this for was making funny edit to have fun with my family and removig unwanted elements from photos (people on beach or trash in alleys), but I can imagine people will use this to fake their online lives even more.
