I’d gone years without being too wigged out about it until now, eugh. Probably doesn’t help that I recently read a body horror novel.

Rabbit hole: It didn’t occur to me before now that the supernormal stimulus aspect of genai also applies to things that trigger phobias or strong disgust reactions (for the people who want to be pedants about the word trypophobia). I wonder if people with spider phobias rate AI images as scarier than real images of spiders?

Edit: omg why can’t I hide a post on piefed 😭
