Had to witness AI altered pics on iNat yesterday and tried to say to the user NICELY that that was not acceptable. But instead they retaliated and started saying shit like "insulting my ability with my hobby" and that "they were at max zoom". Girl, you do NOT need to use AI to make your pics look better, even at max zoom. That website accepts a blur and people will get that to research grade. But making your pics look better for the sake of art? AI? Making your pics look better? Nah. Absolutely not. Your butterflies genuinely GENUINELY made me look away in disgust because it had the most unsettling appearance of legs and random spines coming out of it, not to mention the amalgamation of ladybeetle and millipede parts coming out of the most random of places. It genuinely uneased me that much. And this is the shit megacorps are promoting and putting into our faces? And you also have the audacity to post it on your own blog (not on Tumblr) and generate fuckin AI FACTS FOR THEM??? Not even talk about the experience of seeing them, of getting a nice shot of them? At least I got a swan with a fuckin marble hand for a tail out of it.
