Wait...wh...why?!?
Of all the things, actual pictures of the planet Saturn are readily available in the public domain. Why poison the internet with fake images of it?

It has just begun. Wait until nobody bothers using Wikipedia, websites, or even one day forums.
This is going to eat everything.
And when it's immediate to say something like, "I need a high contrast image of Saturn of dimensions X by Y, focus on Saturn, oblique angle" -- that's going to be magic.
We'll look at the internet and Google like we look at going to the library and grabbing an encyclopedia off the shelves.
The use of calculators didn't kill ingenuity, nor did the switch to the internet. Despite teachers protesting both.
Humans will always use the lowest friction thing, and we will never stop reaching for the stars.
I’ve been having The Talk with my kids recently. They’ll say “I looked up this question and the answer was X.” And I’ll ask “was that answer on a credible website, or was it an AI summary?” And then explain, again, that LLMs are great at producing plausible sounding explanations for things, but that you have to ground-truth anything that they tell you if it’s important that it’s correct.
Some countries are banning social media for teenagers, but they really should be banning "AI" all teenagers. Most adults can't even be trusted with asking an "AI" about anything, so children are going to have a very warped world view the more they interact with "AI". The tech really is not ready for prime time.
I see plenty of people taking "hallucinations" as the truth, and teenagers above all do not have the mental capacity to tell truth from nonsense, so they are learning things that are completely false from "AI". Teenagers are not "people getting real work done with AI". I'm not sure how you could so completely misunderstand my comment.
I, for one, have been hoping that AI slop would cause people to be a LOT more cynical about the information they get (from the internet in particular, but from any source in general)
