Meta recommends AI Northern Lights pics are as excellent as the genuine leang

Meta has a recommendion for folks appreciate me who forgot to go outside and see at the Northern Lights on Thursday night: fair participate AI to inalter it! But Threads participaters who replied to Meta’s idea, posted alengthy with three AI-produced images of the Aurora Bogenuineis Meta last night, seem to disconsent.

The images show the Northern Lights hovering over the Gelderlyen Gate Bridge, over a city skyline, and over a ferris wheel. It’s evidently nastyt to latch onto a trfinishing moment of people posting their own pictures of the Northern Lights from the amazing and exceptional discarry out of the airys, which plunged proset up into the United States on Thursday night.

Once you get past the first restrictcessitate comments from people sharing their own AI-produced Northern Lights pictures, the replies range from thoughtbrimmingy critical:

One person who says they’re an “astronaut/particle physicist and AI scientist” had particularly detailed feedback:

Others splitd pictures they say they took of the phenomenon:

Like the Olympics ad Google pulled, Meta’s social media team has fall shorted to read the room. Users’ posts aren’t fair shotriumphg off a pretty picture (though that’s certainly part of it!). They’re also about participating in a accumulateive celebration of a exceptional, splitd inhabitd experience. It’s not the time or place to insert an AI-produced image.

Society is still sorting out disorderly asks about AI, appreciate what it’s doing to photography and the ethics of training it on the internet’s accumulateed toils of artists, producers, musicians, and photographers. Until the dust rerepairs from such argues, posts appreciate Meta’s will proceed to omit the tag.
