As a writer on medium, I've been using Ai to make more interesting images than I can get via Unsplash.
It might grow old, but turning them into meta memes where you point out the obvious flaws gives me a chuckle. (The last story I posted has a hilarious bicycle situation going on.)
With the ones you pointed out, I can't tell the Sydney Sweeny one is fake. The rest of them, I didn't guess what tipped you off. Other things popped out to me first.
If I had 200 more hours of coached photoshop skill, I'd be able to fix most of these pretty quickly. As it is, armed with firefly's generative fill, I'm already fixing a lot of the major flaws.
I do not look forward to when all these systems go paid in 2024. (Adobe's going to start charging in NOV!)
