Featured: Bowie Labyrinth Owl
Came upon some egregious AI owls this week. Most of you enjoyed these previously.
They annoy me because they get mixed in with some potentially good content, but it shows me the feeds don't check what content they put their name on.
The worst is when they title it "Amazing photograph!" or something that attempts to legitimize it.
Which is the best of the worst this week?
True, this one looks like someone playing with the color sliders.
I'm sure it tricks all types of people. I've had plenty of coworkers that come up here from the city get freaked out by all kinds of everyday animals like they were encountering aliens.
If they passed them off as "art" I wouldn't care, but they have captions like "nice photo" or "amazing shot!" I don't like them mixing fact and fiction.
This could be a real Striped Owl, but it's on one if these weird group pages. The owl looks real-ish, maybe some processing done to it, the background is blurry and it's cropped tight, so it's hard for me to get context.
Here's a real one:
Only sources Lens turns out for the questionable image are Reddit and Pinterest, so that makes me feel it's fake. The real image comes from Cornell, so it's as real as it gets.
Omg, I love this owl! ❤️ I don’t think I’ve seen it before.
I think it's pretty awesome too.
Looks like it's only gotten one post, and it wasn't even from me.
It's a great looking bird for sure!
