    The info provided is that there exists another happy dog out there doing happy dog things and I briefly connected with it, which made me happy. This information would be incorrect if it was AI generated.

      The information that there are happy dogs out there doing happy dog things isn’t wrong tho, regardless of how many images of happy dogs are real or fake.

        You can also tell me that someone out there won the lottery this week and have it be true. It’s not the same as seeing this person’s live reaction to learning about it. It wouldn’t be the same if you watched that person act out the scene exactly as it happened. AI generated is so much further removed from all that.

        • I get what you’re saying, but I really miss shows that did re-enactments of actual events. That shit was funny as hell. Especially the ones on Operation Repo, which were re-enactments of entirely bullshit/exaggerated stories. Like the dude who took down a whole mob operation because he had to reposses a car. 🤣

          I’d say its less removed - the person reenacting is acting on his own interpretation of what happened, while the generated images are the distilled versions of real people winning the lottery.

          Also, like I said, life is much easier accepting that not everything that i can emotionally connect to has to be authentic. I can very much connect to the notion that there are happy pets out there even if i see a drawing of a happy pet.
