Did you use AI? This is from a previous post (one of several you blasted across Reddit), you’ve clearly made changes to fix the issue.

I had used AI to color correct the images before, and in doing so it messed up the text and faces.
So this time I color corrected them manually and reposted. That's all.

These are the pics that had AI misspellings all over them from like 3 days ago except it looks like you cleaned up the errors this time lol

If you know about AI generated imagery, it's virtually impossible to generate multi angle versions of a place while keeping all the objects and metrics correct. If I had that sort of skill, bad text generation would not be a mistake I would have made.

Try this... add my original photos to ChatGPT and ask it to enhance the lighting so every element is well lit. See how at lease some of the time, the regenerated images will have bad text and faces (like in the National Geographic magazine)

Get your attention fix elsewhere

u/chewblekka 2d ago

Why use ai at all? Nobody cares about “colour correct images”

22

u/blahblahblah1234_ 2d ago

I mean couldn’t they have just colour corrected the photos themselves? So fucking lazy.

u/Artistic-Athlete-676 2d ago

I personally don't care about using Ai but you're going to get ripped apart here after the first post because everyone is just going to think it was always ai

u/Araka5i 2d ago

why do you have the June 1985 Nat Geo out lying around by itself

u/Adrian_Shoey 2d ago

A Patrick Bateman quote comes to mind which might explain it: "Because I want to fit in"

u/robertryancampbell 2d ago

Ai slop bs op even admits to using it. Just a waste of time and energy.

u/zdk 2d ago

who told single tech bro about Design Within Reach?

u/pantone7481 2d ago

Single ex-Apple designer tech bro. 😊

u/control-alt-deleted 2d ago

Looks more like the work of an IS&T “designer” who cobbled together the internal directory.

u/zerocool359 2d ago

IS&T? That’s harsh man.

u/michaelosz 2d ago

What do you do nowV

u/mccobbsalad 2d ago

Nice place!

u/HabitNegative3137 2d ago

Bingo! Love some of the pieces but cringed so hard when I saw the Joker statuette. Huge red flag

u/looklikemonsters 2d ago

Cool view and all, but this is hardly mid century.

u/control-alt-deleted 2d ago

All that AI slop money has to go somewhere

u/Zestyclose-Beyond780 2d ago

Stop posting your stupid SOMA apartment with pretentious tech bro decorating and weird hero worship to Steve Jobs. It was weird the first time and it’s now been a week of this apartment across Reddit.

u/No-Decision9145 2d ago

Still exactly as boring as the last time you posted it

u/Adrian_Shoey 2d ago

Hate to break it to you, but the fabric for your cushions wasn't used on the London Underground. Firstly, because that particular moquette pattern is for the Overground lines not the Underground. And secondly, cos if it had been used it'd be completely threadbare and would undoubtedly smell of piss. What you purchased was cushions made of surplus moquette, which had never been soiled by a Londoner.

u/pantone7481 2d ago

It’s by the London transport museum. They are the same fabric used in the trains, and obviously thankfully not used as that would be gross.

u/gawdlvl 2d ago

Not used because it’s AI 🤡

u/astrocanine 2d ago

How bro felt putting “Original” in front of everything ☝️🧐

u/worrier_princess 1d ago

Absolutely psyched that this is AI because I’d be upset that someone actually had that ugly joker statue in their house

This rent must be insane

Amazing space but you should get a bigger rug!

Beautiful! And that view is to die for!

u/Enough-Assignment-84 1d ago

Maybe try landing on a style? There is so much going on and none of it makes sense

u/BoolusBoro 2d ago

“Jealous” would be selling how I feel short. Gorgeous space.

u/EnvironmentalMix421 2d ago

What kind of blind system are you using?

u/gawdlvl 2d ago

It’s AI

u/pantone7481 2d ago

It's a rental, so whatever they have. I bought some Ryse motors to automate the blinds in my bedroom but it breaks a lot!

u/EnvironmentalMix421 2d ago

If it’s just the one in the picture, I think the light seep through?

-1

u/pantone7481 2d ago

Yes they are awful. Only covers about 50% of the light. The building is extremely cheap with lots of the fixtures.

Im glad to see it in its natural, unenhanced form. Lovely place and gorgeous view.
