I don't believe in "shared reality" as something that meaningfully exists, but it is *stressful* to know that there are thousands of internet gumshoes who are, through sheer ignorance of the tech, using generative AI to plunge thousands of people into a reality completely divorced from our own.
lol! Even if you ignore the obvious AI melted forehead, it looks like he had Pinhead spikes in his face! How did someone look at this and say "Yes. This is a good upscale, and definitely shows an accurate depiction of what this man looks like."
I feel like this whole trump thing is a vivid example of hyperreality as per Simulacra and Simulation.
moments after I saw your post I saw YouTube video using the so-called "enhanced" image this is going to be so tedious
This might be wishful thinking, but I have a hunch we have a year or so (and maybe less!) of this tech being widely available before the money starts to dry up and either it becomes prohibitively expensive, or doesn't exist at all.
it may be wishful but hopefully it's correct too
Guys I think Trump is a dolphin-man.
there's a word for that already, and it's "simulacrum". READ A BOOK, NORMIES!
Yeah, that sharpening tool is just making things up. Check the flag on his hat.
It's super fucking weird and bad!!
Lol it made him look like Baron Harkonnen.
I was really trying to remember where I saw that face and you are absolutely right.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a direct rip-off.
i drew a picture of your face with my eyes closed and it looks kinda fucked up, you might wanna see a doctor

But on tha teevees if you shout “enhance” you solve da crime!
All seems to be going according to plan: 1. Make sure people have no idea how to sort facts from lies 2. Unleash the bullshit machines to drown out any voices trying to communicate with accuracy 3. Profit
Like, I'm sorry but how could you not look at the outcome there and think "this is not a reflection of what I fed into the machine?" It requires trusting the machine over everything you have learned from staring at compressed images for many hours a day over many years! It's nuts!
The default for brains is off
I mean it’s not like creating an entirely different dude is a new problem for ai
what are you talking about? That's our first black president, pete buttigieg
I also can't get over that his concern with the image on the right is Trump's forehead. That's a different guy! Someone who doesn't look anything like Trump. If I'm someone who believes the lying machines actually tell the truth, then I'm imagining that's a different guy all together.
It looks it just replaced him with Tom Homan tbh
lol yes!!
also look at the S in USA and tell me the computer is accurately enhancing the image.
and the american flag! lmao
He's made a new flag for a new nation. No states, only colonies.
it's the U§A 🫡
loll
His 'enhanced' hat went from USA to DSA. Which is funny as hell
God, I wish.
You sure about that? 😉
Anything's better than what we've got.
That part is real.
Agreed. It seems people think AI is the literal "Enhance button" crime dramas have been using for years (that doesn't exist) and it really doesn't work that way in real life, either.
