Ask HN: Is it only me or everyone feeling flu when seeing an AI picture?

It's much stronger lately. I feel uncomfortable when I see

- an object placed on an image with AI. The edges look blurry usually

- face that make up applied with AI like thing

They look "WOW" in 2 seconds, then the magic goes out, leaves a sick feeling.

I am wondering if anyone feels something similar.

Feeling flu? Not familiar with that expression. You mean feeling physically sick?

Yeah that doesn’t happen to me.

Sickness, not physically, something similar to motion sickness or the feeling of sickness when you're on boat.

Nausea? Or disorientated?

I personally don’t really care, but I think how AI recreate’s humans hand’s is disturbing.

Maybe disorientation. Difficult to describe. It may be because of my perfectionist necessities. AI images look poor. My eyes deserve better. An image is a piece of money. If it's worth to see, I would like to download and pay for that. Otherwise I prefer text.

Wow ok, that is an interesting perspective! Do you mean, you don’t want to pay for AI generated art, but would rather pay for human generated art? Because I can understand that. Human generated art had actual effort go into it, you pay someone for their time and their effort, but with AI - it’s just effortless and therefore valueless??

I pay the content I find useful. "Something looks good" isn't enough to pay.

Particularly sensitive to uncanny valley? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley
