I am very confident the image at the top of this article is generated by any of these currently popular text-to-image models. This feels like the beginning of ignoring artworks I see online, foreshadowed by header images at the start of tech blogs.

The tell for me is the nonsense in the details of the image which aren’t super noticeable in the macro. Some of the faces aren’t faces.

Likely. It appears to be part of the company's potential toolbox and has been researched by them for their blog:

Blog pictures have always been irrelevant stock images but I agree this one is particularly bad and clearly AI generated.

I think the issue with Instagram is the “follow the money” mentality from a lot of its users. I follow around 600 accounts, many of which are artists and brands, and I definitely saw a drastic shift towards video content.

I do not open Instagram and expect to look at pictures alone unless it is from friends, pretty much.

i dont know.... i never understood "hip" things. back when orkut was all the rage, i was stuck being anonymous. then facebook, twitter, whatsapp, instagram, sarahah app, titok, youtube shorts, i could not be convinced enough to maintain an account there.....

i mean i am on HN, reddit but i dont have my own name, my "social graph" isnt tied to my AFK identity, my AFK friends aren't my online friends, my location is not my location........ the original internet user
