Till Rückwart

While AI image generation tools appear to be undeniably professional at hallucinating the biases of their datasets into their pixelated outputs, they are lacking when it comes to producing accurate images of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), either of smartphones or computer operating systems. Perhaps this suggests that, in a world of AI-generated images, screenshots are more trustworthy than regular photographs, and that GUIs are less deceptive than one might think.
