Indeed, I saw the watermarks. It's clearly a testament to his skill that his consistency is so unbelievable. Maybe that's common in macro photography but I'm genuinely floored by it.
reply> Plenty of worries if those images are AI-generated.
replyWhat would be so worrying about someone using AI to generate images for their site?
It’s an informational and photography site. If the images were faked, it would be a lie.
replyAI generated images are not appropriate for source or reference material.
The whole point of the site is the images and facts.
replyIn my own experience, whenever I detect something AI generated I lose the ability to evaluate how much I can "trust" something. Compare an article on Medium with a published book on the same topic; both are human-originated but the substance of one implies authority, quality etc. Generating a website and pictures with AI requires very little effort and care, and I have no interest in carelessness. Like most humans, I can't help but evaluate the author alongside the art.
replyI don't mind it at all for decorational images, but in this case I would mind. I suppose I would mind the inaccuracy, the worry that the creatures might not look exactly like the real world ones look.
replyNot that it actually matters but if those images were generated it would feel pointless to me, even if I can't tell the difference.
