I dont think anyone has mentioned this site yet, I just saw it mentioned on Twitter and decided to check it out. https://www.stockai.com/ This is a stock site giving away free AI generated stock photos. I had a quick look through. You will find people with 5 arms here and there, or a dog with a human mouth. But other than some really obvious AI errors, theres so far a lot of beautiful photos on there.
Maybe I will be alone with my opinion here, but I think these photos all look awful. There is something almost creepy about the way these people look. Even when the AI doesn't make errors with anatomy, everything is "too perfect", "too smooth" and kind of too flat. The lack of texture in everything makes it look like graphics from a modern computer game. Maybe if I saw a single photo like this somewhere I would not notice, but when they are all put together like this, it looks like there is just something awfully wrong about them.
I was curious to see who was behind this web site. Not sure that I've found all the details, but it appears it's a Dutch entrepreneur, Danny PostmaNot sure what this means for the longevity of StockAI, but it seems the founder is more interested in chasing hot new trends than building something long term
