My coworker said my AI training data was too clean to be real
They showed me how adding some noisy samples from a public dataset in Boston actually improved model accuracy by 8%. Anyone found a good source for messy but useful data?

That "too clean to be real" thing is everywhere now.

It's gotten to the point where even the grass in ads looks fake. That bright, perfect green you never see in real life. They edit out every single weed and brown patch. It creates such an impossible standard for how things should look.

Right? And the fruit in commercials, it's like they polish each apple with wax. They add fake water drops that look like plastic. My real kitchen counter has crumbs and a coffee stain, but on TV it's just shiny empty space. Who lives like that?

What gets me is how we're supposed to pretend that kind of perfect stuff is just normal. Like, do people really think their yard is supposed to look like a golf course or they're failing at being an adult? It's enough to make you feel bad about a patch of dandelions in your own backyard. When did we decide that reality just wasn't good enough anymore?
