My intent was to commiserate and call out how AI is ruining the internet and creating additional friction represented in this thread, and I don’t agree it needs a whole discussion elsewhere. To your point, AI is a crutch for the lazy and will contribute to the further lack of critical thinking evidenced here. But, I can see you’re set on being condescending and pedantic, so I’ll happily show myself out.

Oh sure OK, there isn’t a larger issue here at all, it’s just people being dumb. Sure pal.

When people question if every photo is real or fake, thats a problem, and if you don’t recognize that you’re a fool.

AI is a problem right now, your frustration is proof enough of that. This will only continue to get worse, unfortunately.

Great photo, btw.
