        I'm genuinely frightened that they're going to fix the hand problem soon. It's one of the last tells that's reasonably consistently reliable. They're going to build some engine that just does hands and interprets a correct hand orientation based on the position of the arms, looks up a 3d reference model because these things can't abstract, and then sketches in a hand over the LLM generated image.

        It's so fucked. We've evolved the uncanny valley response for god knows how many millions of years so we know when something is wrong with a face - it's dead, or it's a person who is seriously ill, or it's not a person at all. And now they've mostly defeated that and we're counting teeth and fingers.

          I hate to break it to you, but that's been varying degrees of solved for over a year. Most AI slop that just contains ludicrous basic errors is left unfixed because the people who spam AI slop are principally just incredibly stupid, lazy chuds slamming the treat button like it's a gacha pull, but even something as basic as automatic1111 or its relatives allowed manual inpainting to reroll broken parts of the image, then added optional automatic secondary processes to detect faces and hands and run an automated inpainting process to fix them with dedicated "fix faces and hands" models.

          Now currently relevant open models range from "sometimes it doesn't fuck up" to "the only tell is that proportions are subtly off and that sometimes there are continuity issues that give away that there's not any sort of reality behind the image nor even an internal model of what is there in places you can't directly see, but it's less glaring than it used to be" and it's only getting more horrifying. Looking at "realistic" models always makes me feel sort of sick, even beyond the rote kind-vladimir-ilyich response I feel whenever I look at civitai.

            It's completely sick, capitalism's obsession with cutting labor out of production taken somewhere I don't even know how to say mean things about.

            On the plus side, though, I'm increasingly confident that my fears of these fucks perfecting terminators, wiping out the working class, and living eternally in their little New Zealand technobunkers served by a world of robots is unfounded. These toolbags have no idea what they're doing, or they're all trying to convince everyone else that it's not a grift long enough to cash out.
