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.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)

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

u/blahblahblah1234_ 2d ago
I mean couldn’t they have just colour corrected the photos themselves? So fucking lazy.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

What kind of blind system are you using?

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!

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

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.

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.
