AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a green Android that's been made really skinny sitting at a desk in an awkward pose - it looks absurd.

AI image generation of an android at an interview. It shows a a row of Androids sitting at desks, appearing to take an exam in school but all the laptops on the desks are mangled messes - it is absurd.

Not all AI image generation tools are made equal...

7% is roughly less than 1 in 10 ppl

Anecdotally I haven't been told by *any* friends that they got the alert! (Yes I have over 10)

Somebody's fudging the numbers in prod to save their a$$ 😂
