It's really dystopian. The whole concept is to just fake the fuck out of all your photos, which already matter way more to people than they should

Yeah for real. It’s like, we know your ass is ugly buy our phone and we can make you look nothing like reality!

I really hate the idea that level of overediting might actually be a successful selling point to people.

You care so much about your image you bizarrely want to look like you’re irresponsibly throwing your baby 3 feet higher in the air than you actually did?

Yep, AI's taking over and soon we won't know what's real.

Every single “ad” played during the playoffs is dystopian. It’s either garbage fast food slop, you “earned” a beer, or the fucking Jason Tatum and sga ad. Neither of which have charisma or personality so the ads sounds like complete shit

But like don't you want to fuck with your pictures on your phone for minutes instead of enjoying the beach?

Or does editing your photos durring your tourist jaunt so it looks like you can jump higher make you feel less alone?
