A Reddit user posted about experiencing 'AI blindness,' suggesting that constant exposure to AI-generated images and videos on social media is eroding their ability to distinguish them from reality. While acknowledging technical improvements in models, the user questions whether their loss of skepticism is due to increased fidelity or simply brain adaptation to the new norm. The post invites discussion on whether others feel their critical eye for AI artifacts is diminishing, or if real images are starting to look artificially generated.
