    This is very odd. It seems to me it would be easier to take a real picture of a walmart and then photoshop in the "Investing in American Jobs" signs (which, by the way, there are too many of and they're too large to be realistic). But instead we get this ai garbage. Why? Why not just use a real picture? Why have an ai generate an obviously fake walmart checkout aisle, when real pictures of the same are so, so easy to come by?

    This picture shows another perspective too.
    People think jobs are necessary while we can just use machines and let them do it for us.
    We don't need jobs. We need to have a safety net for people who don't have a job instead. A UBI is a good example. Creating jobs is such a capitalistic thing

    does nobody else notice this is absolutely and obviously an ai generated image?

    not to say that wal-mart is helping anyone at all. but this was clearly designed to spark outrage.

      Is it AI generated, though? AI generated images usually mangle letters pretty badly and everything seems to be legible here.

        Look at the products or the text in the background. I thought the text was photoshopped but turns out it was generated as well.

          So they are, statement withdrawn. I wasn't paying that much attention to the signs in the background and sure enough, the rightmost sign's M and R look a bit off and the "Investing in" part is completely scrambled.

    Those don't take away that many jobs, at least not here in Germany. There is still someone standing next to them whenever they are open (on busy times 2 people) and shelves aren't stocking themselves.
