I am wondering if in 2-3 years AI will be heads and shoulders above us in both images and text. Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? Maybe its slop is better than most of our work.

If it doesn't look like the food you're about to purchase, yes? Why is this even a question in this context.

  • Yes, even though fast food places would previously use every food photography trick in the book to make the food look good, there was at least some relation between the menu and what you actually get, which people just seem completely fine with dispensing because the affordances of image generators work against including product photography

    (Have also heard about people - not just scammers/spam operations - using generated pictures and descriptions for dating profiles and real estate ads, and I cannot understand what outcome they expect when someone follows up and immediately realizes what's up)

  • "Here is a picture of the dish, make it look nicer and use that as a reference"

      That's not a function of improvement in models, though, which was the question. You could literally do that today, no need to wait for models in "2-3 years".

    • "Users will voluntarily prompt better to avoid misleading people" will be the "people can simply write memory safe C" of the late 2020s
