I don't know why people (not saying you, more directed at the top commenter) keep acting like cherry picking AI images in these studies invalidate the results - cherry picking is how you use AI image generation tools, that's why most will (or can) generate several at once so you can pick the best one. If a malicious actor was trying to fool people, of course they'd use the most "real" looking ones, instead of just the first to generate
Frankly the studies would be useless if they didn't cherry pick, because it wouldn't line up with real world usage
Tbh I'm more concerned about how they chose the human faces. I can't explain it, but it feels like they were biased toward choosing 'fake-looking' faces, lol
