Blind rating battlegrounds, one is https://lmarena.ai/ (first google result)

I don't quite get what this is? I asked the AI on the site "What is imarena.ai?" and it just gave some hallucinated answer that made no sense.

People vote on the performance of AI, generating ranking boards.

If you compare to the amount of effort required in Photoshop to achieve the same results, still a vast improvement

Vibe coding might not be real, but vibe graphics design certainly is. https://imgur.com/a/internet-DWzJ26B Anyone can make images and video now.

What is up with that T rex's arms?

I don't think he's the gullible one, check their bio ;)

Unfortunately, this isn't one of my usual trollings. I've documented the scam on in this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lRbApgKT4U95zN0AYsPQqsLR...

Ah that sucks. Having played runescape as a kid it feels obvious but that's a very sophisticated attack

I can imagine an automated blackmail bot that scrapes image, video, voice samples from anyone with the most meagre online presence, which then creates high resolution videos of that person doing the most horrid acts, then threatening to share those videos with that person's family, friends and business contacts unless they are paid $5000 in a cryptocurrency to an anonymous address.

And further, I can imagine some person actually having such footage of themselves being threatened to be released, then using the former narrative as a cover story were it to be released. Is there anything preventing AI generated images, video, etc from being always detectible by software that can intuit if something is AI? what if random noise is added, would the "Is AI" signal persist just as much as the indication to human that the footage seems real?

SynthID claims to be designed to persist through several methods of modification. I suspect such attacks you mention will happen, but by those with deep pockets. Like a nation-state actor with access to models that don't produce watermarks.

This is the gpt 4 moment for image editing models. Nano banana aka gemini 2.5 flash is insanely good. It made a 171 elo point jump in lmarena! Just search nano banana on Twitter to see the crazy results. An example. https://x.com/D_studioproject/status/1958019251178267111

Another nitpick - the pink puffer jacket that got edited into the picture is not the same as the one in the reference image - it's very similar but if I were to use this model for product placement, or cared about these sort of details, I'd definitely have issues with this.

Even in the just-photoshop-not-ai days product photos had become pretty unreliable as a means of understanding what you're buying. Of course it's much worse now.

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delay…

The fingernails on one of them. Ohhh nooo

Image genai made me realize just how inattentive to detail a lot of people are.

Yet it's failed spectacularly at almost everything I've given it.
