Is it just me, or does anyone get deeply disturbed with some of the generated ML images? Parts of them look so bizarre due to the image composition, my brain simply cannot comprehend that part of the image. It's a very awful feeling, like my brain acknowledges that what I'm seeing is terribly unnatural. I don't experience this when looking at artwork, or some random scribbling, but with ML images it seems like they're generated in such a way that it defies any kind of recognition.
Presumably threat actors are working on generic algorithms to optimise the production of images by the ML system such that they have the absolute worst affect on viewers of those images.
Optimising for minor effects like blindness to areas, up to major effects like epileptic seizures.
I often describe the sensation of trying to read ML-generated text as "feeling like I'm having a stroke". Phrasing not original to me obviously, but I like it. Although I've never had a stroke myself, so I can't say how accurate that is.
