And yet the Korean text is not accurate... [1]

going to a fancy restaurant coz of 'you can take good pics' - dead - a.i can recreate that cheaper.
which means for a certain demographic - dating apps are dead too - since those were largely based on swiping photos.
the premium of in-person / small intimate events has gone up. likewise meeting in person, or doing things with a person live.
this also means imperfection has gone up in value (imperfection is a human quality).
Ironically they have extremely limited influence on how the larger world moves: normal people won't meaningfully change their habits around eating good food or meeting up with each other just because AI can generate a picture of either.
I see lots of useful tools made related to translation and code generation, but image generation seems to be primarily used to deceive, harass, or embelish to the point of questioning what the point of a photo is anymore anyway?
But I understand the jaded perspective. I guess the idea of ‘deepfakes’ didn’t give AI image gen a great reputational start.
