       I think the weirdest discovery on social media in awhile is that even staunchly anti-AI people apparently can't recognize the "ChatGPT house style" of images

       @misty This is a really good time to develop a practice of not resharing images unless the original artist is clearly credited. It was a good idea anyway but now it incidentally means you'll never share a ChatGPT image, as it has no citable creator

       @mcc YES. And, honestly - the "reposting images without credit" instinct is essentially the same thing that AI image generation is anyway. Formless content where the creator and original context doesn't matter, just something to fill the feed. We should move away from it either way

       @misty @mcc I keep wanting an image format that has attribution/provenance and alt-text stored in the file, so a re-share would preserve them (at least by default), and Mastodon et.al. (or ~@alt_text ) could encourage filling gaps

       @ShadSterling @misty @alt_text Unfortunately a lot of social media and image hosts just strip metadata because they're worried it might have PII in it!

       I think part of it is just that people have a concept of what AI image generators can do that's stuck in 2022-2023, and if they don't see one of those tells they assume someone had to have drawn it. But also I think a lot of people just... don't pick up on overused styles? So even if a particular piece of software renders images and text in exactly the same style every single time, people will see images in that style constantly and just not think anything of it?
