I wrote a short article on the "sketchy realism" of AI images, that is, the operational mismatch where, due to their photorealism, images meant as sketches or rough prototypes are intuitively perceived as finished products.

Das Bild zeigt eine Reihe von Schuhen, die vor einem Heizkörper auf einem Holzboden liegen. Die Schuhe sind in verschiedenen Stilen und Größen, darunter Sportschuhe, Turnschuhe und Sandalen. Die Schuhe sind in verschiedenen Farben und Materialien, einige scheinen ziemlich abgenutzt zu sein. Der Heizkörper hat vertikale Latten und befindet sich an der Wand, die links und rechts von ihm weiß gestrichen ist. Die Schuhe sind in einer Reihe angeordnet, wobei einige leicht überlappen. Das Bild ist in Schwarz-Weiß gehalten, was die Kontraste und Texturen der Schuhe und des Heizkörpers hervorhebt.

Dopo 6 mesi di 'regno del terrore' possiamo dire che l'immagine del Trump portatore di pace si è rivelata una delle più grandi bufale di inizio secolo.
Spieghiamo il perché
Trump portatore di pace? No: portatore di odio, sopraffazione e guerre
L’immagine di Donald Trump come portatore di pace, coltivata da alcuni sostenitori durante e dopo la sua prima presidenza, si è rivelata non solo infondata, ma palesemente contraddetta dai fatti emersi nei primi sei mesi del suo secondo mandato.globalist (Globalist.it)
