Topics
Taylor Lorenz 指出，AI 生成的秋季主题图片和视频在社交媒体上泛滥，这些图片往往过于理想化，扭曲了人们对真实自然景色的感知。她还对这种趋势背后的商业化目的表示担忧，认为这是一种新的营销手段，利用人们对季节变化的期待来推广商品。此外，她还关注到网络上日益增长的性别对立，以及由此引发的网络审美差异。Rebecca Jennings 则从自身经历出发，分享了她对 AI 生成内容的观察。她指出，AI 生成的图片虽然在初看之下与真实照片相似，但仔细观察会发现一些不自然的细节。她认为，这种现象反映了科技巨头对世界的看法，他们利用 AI 技术将自己对理想生活的想象强加于人。她也对 AI 技术对环境的影响表示担忧，认为 AI 技术的能源消耗加剧了气候变化，而气候变化又反过来导致秋季景观的消失，这是一种讽刺的恶性循环。

  • AI-generated fall images are clogging up social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram.
  • These images often feature hyper-realistic but unrealistic versions of nature, skewing viewers' expectations.
  • The use of AI in creating such content is contributing to the commodification of seasons and nature.
