Hello beautiful, today I want to bring you into a real and thought-provoking conversation I had with Darius during one of our mukbang sessions. We dove deep into the topic of artificial intelligence, and honestly, it’s something that has been on my mind for a while now.
Over the past year and a half, AI has gone from being this new and exciting discovery to something that’s practically woven into every corner of our daily lives. I told Darius, “Eighteen months ago, we barely knew what AI really was. Now, it feels like everything has AI.” It’s wild because sometimes you can’t even tell if what you’re looking at is authentic or computer-generated.

Darius tried to convince me he could still recognize AI-generated content, but I couldn’t agree. I told him straight up, “Give it another six months and I won’t be able to tell—it’s gotten too good.” And it’s true. The pace at which AI is improving makes it harder and harder to separate real from artificial.
Think back to the early days when spotting AI was easy. The first giveaway was always the hands or feet. Darius laughed as he reminded me, “AI used to give people six fingers.” That’s how obvious it was. But those flaws? They’ve been fixed. Now, the little clues that helped us identify AI aren’t so reliable anymore.
Today, skin texture might be one of the last things to look at. As Darius explained, “AI skin is too smooth. It doesn’t have pores or real texture.” But even that is evolving—these systems are learning fast, and soon even that difference will fade.
One issue that hit me on a personal level was representation. I tried an AI app that builds characters and worlds, and what I noticed really bothered me—every single character was a conventionally attractive white person. No range in skin tones, no variety in hair textures, no cultural depth. It was like diversity didn’t exist.
That made me think of my wig stand with the black mannequin heads. Darius didn’t understand at first why I was particular about getting those. I had to explain that representation goes deeper than just skin color. It’s about features too. I don’t want a mannequin that looks like a white woman painted brown. If you’re going to make it Black, let the features reflect Black beauty authentically. Representation isn’t something that should be an afterthought—it matters.
This whole AI wave is exciting, but it’s also unsettling. The speed of development is overwhelming, and while everyone is amazed at what AI can do, important things like diversity, inclusion, and authenticity aren’t being prioritized. And if we don’t talk about it now, those issues will only grow bigger as AI becomes more a part of everyday life.
So, I want to ask you: what do you think about AI? Can you still spot the difference between real and AI-generated content, or is it getting too real for even you to tell?
