I guess I'm doing a good job of pruning my inputs, the vast majority of the imagery I see online is from human artists whose work looks largely the same as it did before all these slop machines got popular, so I don't have as finely tuned a slop detector as you must.

(Although really "I followed a link from HN" is depressingly correlated with "the images in it are slop".)

some of the details made me think it's AI generated:

- strawberry sundaes instead of glasses of water on the dinner table

- exaggerated expressions of surprise

- the fighter cockpit doesn't have a canopy

- the las vegas cocktail party watching the nuke just down the road

Maybe they're not AI, but they've got some weird details that made me decide in my own mind that they ARE AI

They also say "Ai" in the upper left, which is suggestive.

I noticed that the astrophysicist has a microscope on her laboratory counter. I doubt she gets the opportunity to use it much in her line of work.

I concluded "this is definitely AI" when I looked closely at one panel and what initially looked like a halftone pattern on a person was actually weird mottling that looked like an unpleasant flesh disease.

I hate this fucking future.
