That article made me realize how insane Image Generators already are.

Really good article I read today. I was already impressed by the first hype of image generators but since haven't informed myself much. They got really good lately apparently. I can't decide if I am concerned or impressed. Do you think this would actually be used for something other than memes and misinformation? I thought I might share it and hear your opinions.

Yeah, clearly the author doesn’t know about the Loch Ness monster
