As images of the recent aurora began flooding onto social media sites, Meta posted some fakes on its Twitter clone Threads, demonstrating that those who “missed the northern lights IRL” could create their own dramatic aurora images with generative AI.
There’s also the fact that the photos themselves, for the most part, aren’t what people are seeing with the naked eye but are made possible through long exposures and other camera tech. If you can only see the aurora through your phone screen, using gen AI is a logical next step…
Thanks for writing about these AI ads and social media posts recently…they’ve been really disgusting to view, and I’m glad you are creating discourse around them. I hope we, as a society, will be able to fight back against this AI shiny object nonsense.
