If yo use AI then please say so. I dont want or like fake bullshit shown to me as if genuine.

First off, I'm with you on the "don't try to pass off AI imagery as real"...

But.. OP never claimed these images were real in their post..

Since there are no giant beavers in the world today, we could have assumed they were AI generated?

This could have been an illustration or a 3D render instead.. Isn't AI image generation just another form of visualization, like those?

    Both depict what are clearly supposed to be museum exhibits. Those exist: https://www.bellmuseum.umn.edu/blog/meet-the-giant-beaver/

    The problem is not that people will think they still exist in the wild today. The problem is one can't trust the "size reference" an AI made up out of whole cloth.

    • Again I'm not asserting the validity of the image.

      Are we expecting everyone to say "this was AI created" on every image that is AI created?

      We don't expect this from 3D rendering, Photoshop edits, etc..
