A survivorship-bias meme about why people only notice bad AI outputs

A meme post about survivorship bias in judging AI-generated content.
- People often say AI is easy to spot because they notice the obvious failures: weird hands, awkward phrasing, visual glitches, and similar mistakes.
- But they miss the convincing outputs precisely because those examples fooled them.
- The joke compares this to only noticing the damaged planes that made it back from combat, while ignoring the ones that never returned.
