That article made me realize how insane Image Generators already are. (www.theverge.com)

Really good article I read today. I was already impressed by the first hype of image generators but since haven't informed myself much. They got really good lately apparently. I can't decide if I am concerned or impressed. Do you think this would actually be used for something other than memes and misinformation? I thought I might share it and hear your opinions.

Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about Stalin

From the article you clearly didn't read:

Photography has been used in the service of deception for as long as it has existed. (Consider Victorian spirit photos, the infamous Loch Ness monster photograph, or Stalin’s photographic purges of IRL-purged comrades.)

Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about the Loch Ness monster
