    AI generated or not, marketing Dubai evacuation flights with influencer selfies is too funny

    No matter what you think of Dubai, this is cruel.

      I think this is hilarious. People who help enable such a terrible country and actively promote it don’t get any sympathy. I’ll save that for the slaves unable to leave.

        My schadenfreude does not extend to this type of suffering.

    I’ve noticed that high tech AI generates photorealistic images in ways that reveal a lot of complexion details that most consumer phones hide. Zoom in, look at those big blotchy freckles.
