    The macro photography looks bizarrely uniform and the poses contrived. I feel like a sleuth trying to decide if this is AI generated or not. I suspect it isn't, but I'm somewhat distressed at how suspicious I am of cool things now.

      As someone who has done some stacked photos, they always look suspicious! If it's any consolation, I recognize the photographer and they are the sort of person who would never use AI!

        That is exactly what an AI Bot would say XDXD

      Plenty of worries if those images are AI-generated. I'll give the author the benefit of the doubt as he's a macro photographer: https://www.nickybay.com/

        What would be so worrying about someone using AI to generate images for their site?

          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.

            This may be the most important story of the year (for creatures with 20 pods.)

              Cool site and beautiful photos!

              • I can't tell whether the images are heavily photoshopped or AI generated.
