"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Eh, that's more cynical than what I mean. I'm not trying to insult older folks, not their health nor intelligence.
I was talking more about psycological 'perception,' assuming their vision is sharp, or they have reading glasses on or whatever. My observaton is their brain tends to operate more on 'autopilot,' even among remarkably smart older folks, so perhaps they're more inclined to miss 'uncanny valley' things like this until someone points it out and they really focus on the picture's details.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here. Like skimming while reading, you know what eggs look like. Also, if they took a bad pic, you'd skim like that too. Most menu's pics don't look like what you're going to get regardless.
