@thomasfuchs The kids really do make me proud sometimes.

@thomasfuchs This makes all the sense in the world. Somehow execs know kids use AI a lot, but somehow take that to the opposite of the right conclusion. Something that they know they could have easily made on their phones is thoroughly unimpressive! It's no different from back in the 90s recognizing which clip art collection a component of a logo came from.

@thomasfuchs That marketer is not alright though, still fully in the AI pool for other demographics.

@thomasfuchs not gen anything but I can confirm that if someone earnestly posts an excruciatingly obvious AI image because they seek engagement, I will warn them otherwise. It hurts, not helps. If you have no way to get an image legitimately, put *NOTHING*, and I might read what you have to say.
edit: No, I have never once been thanked.

@thomasfuchs This feels consistent with my own (also GenZ) experience. AI imagery looks subtly similar to all other AI imagery to me, it "feels off" in many cases. Poorly done slop is even easier to spot, but all slop can generally be sussed out.
Also, "the kids" are now at the age that most people historically started having families :P
We're really the young adults now, which while horrifying, is slightly less horrifying than all the millennials about to have a midlife crisis-

@thomasfuchs On the other hand: my 70+-year old aunt was shocked to learn that the cute video she sent me, was Ai slop. She genuinely thought that it was real.

@thomasfuchs If my Gen Z daughter is any indicator, slightly shitty photos also feel realer. She was hunting down an old digital camera to get a very specific look to her photos when she went out places.

@thomasfuchs I am borderline Gen z y and I think my Gen z wife is better at spotting AI images and videos, but both she and my Gen alpha kids consume way of the obvious more ai slop like a seductive oister whispering or tung tung tung sahur.

@thomasfuchs Gen Jones and not only will I ignore but will more often then not block the brand.

@benrob0329 @thomasfuchs Gen X, almost Baby Boom here. AI slop always looks 'wrong' to me.

@thomasfuchs my first experience with the ai fake photo vibe was in a carykh video almost 9 years ago, and ive had to look out for it ever since
