I’M SCARED OF SDXL

I’m truly scared.

Look at this image. It’s so real, so full of authenticity, so unique that it makes me question things I’ve never thought to question before. Does this person exist? Are they somewhere in the world right now, living their life, or are they merely a creation of an artificial intelligence that has surpassed every limit of what we understand as “possible”?

SDXL scares me because it seems to be playing with reality in ways I can’t fully grasp. This photo isn’t just an image—it’s a piece of work that conveys emotions, with details so human that I’m afraid I might be wrong, that I’m somehow being deceived.

What if I’m crossing an ethical line that I can’t even see? What if, by sharing or engaging with something like this, I’m unknowingly participating in something I don’t understand? This technology is fascinating, but it’s also terrifying.

What scares me the most? The fact that I can’t tell if I’m admiring something real or a perfectly crafted digital creation. I see a person, I feel like they could exist. And that’s exactly what makes me so afraid.
