A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

    AI generated or not, marketing Dubai evacuation flights with influencer selfies is too funny

    I’ve noticed that high tech AI generates photorealistic images in ways that reveal a lot of complexion details that most consumer phones hide. Zoom in, look at those big blotchy freckles.

      5 years ago I would’ve thought that fabricating a convincing face would be difficult and fabricating a lamp post would be easy, but here we are.

      As a dirty American, we just borrow schadenfreude from German usually in my experience.

      There are English phrases that approximate it - like “taking enjoyment in another’s misery” but not really a word, at least one I can think of.

          Yo can even put a dash in-between the two parts to hide the fact that you stole superior German grammar

              Eh, that seems to suggest it’s entertainment for or about misers, rather than misery
