On tumblr everyone was livid about this fake photo of a "baby peacock" -- it captured many of the things that worry people about AI art-- the tendency to fill in what people expect, not what is true. The stereotyping, and reversion to archetype. The lost nuance.

But, because of this photo I got to learn that real baby male peacocks "practice" with little tufts of display feathers. Look at these lil boys!
