awh man. if openai is to be believed, their new model can generate believable screenshots

if you want to see for yourself, they have a press announcement for their new product. according to them, this image was generated with this prompt: > a screenshot of chatgpt, in a browser, in macosx. the user types \"draw me a dog\" chatgpt draws an ascii dog the front window is chatgpt, but the desktop is quite messy with lots of random windows open (e.g. a terminal). they're all in the background when i first saw it, i had to do a double take, and then a triple take ("hey, what's this screenshot doing among all these randomly generated images")? i've been using macos pretty regularly for four years now (although i don't use any of the 'apps' pictured) and it wasn't until i saw the weird spacing with the file explorer icon on the bottom-left of the dock that i realized it was, indeed, fake this is a bummer because, even if cherry picked, * these used to always mangle and misspell text * these could never generate a convincing screenshot "newest bullshit generator is better at generating bullshit" isn't surprising, but it feels bad
