    AI has always stuck out to me, but recently it has started becoming even more blatantly obvious. I experienced my first bout of severe derealization from a PTSD trigger the other day and now that I’m out of it, all AI images look just as wrong as the whole world did when I was derealizing. Like the AI stands out even more now that I spent a few days with a severely altered perception of the world and was questioning what was real or not. Everything is back to normal except AI. AI looks even worse now. It is taking some getting used to lol.

      I also have PTSD and experience de-realization. I always found AI’s realistic depictions of human people extremely disturbing. I wonder if that has something to do with the de-realization aspect. We’ve experienced living in a not-quite-right perception of reality, and we’re experiencing that same wrong-ness when we see an AI model.
