    Thanks to AI I know the answer is yes. They give me a vague feeling of “off” no matter how good it is.

    But some people can’t be convinced that a picture of a poreless six fingered woman with extra eyelids is AI generated. So, person to person.

      There is a phrase for this that escapes me at the moment. I’ll edit when i remember.

      Uncanny valley. The uncanny valley is the valley between when something is distinctly inhuman and realistically human. Here inbetween are the things that are almost but not quite human. They feel creepy, odd, and strange.

        I think uncanny valley isn’t quite the feeling I’m describing. Maybe I’m being pedantic but it’s different than that. Image generation can create some realistic people who completely avoid uncanny valley. It’s just AI generated people have like “thumbprints” of AI. Like a certain sheen, similar creases, and a ‘generic’-ness.

        Maybe it’s something that comes from looking at them a bunch. I spent a lot of time messing with stable diffusion making stupid shit. And it’s like I guess the same feeling when you watch movies with a cinematographer/director you’re familiar with. Like even it’s a movie you haven’t seen before, the color pallet, composition, and framing is like “oh this was made by x.”

        I’ve been impressed by how detailed and realistic some pictures are but like the lighting is a huge giveaway.

          Ah, i know what you mean. You can often tell AI because it’s too perfect. The skin being too smooth is often a dead giveaway.
          I personally still put that in the uncanny valley, but i hear you.

    My arms are in fact slightly longer than they should be for my height, and no ones ever noticed out of the blue
