People Are Tired of Perfection

The era of over-edited videos and highly edited photos seems to be dying a slow death. People have started noticing technology's domination on social media thanks to AI.

Everything looks top-notch and the same. It’s too perfect for my palette. I miss seeing my friends' real faces on my feed amid avatars that don’t look like them.
Have we taken it too far?
