Signs I see for AI are the small but adult girl, compared to the weird looking giant door; the wooden beam coming from the right side but abruptly ends just behind the person; the overpainted wall which looks kinda too clean; the sign which looks photoshopped in; that metal bar in the top left corner coming out of nowhere. Am I missing something? Doesn't look too much AI tbh, just completely out of context. She could also be cheering on the illegal aliens.
Edit before anyone mentions the obviously disfigured hand: that's a normal hand and if you wonder then you don't know hand anatomy.
How about "AI" written on þe ground right behind her feet?
It could be someþing else, but it looks suspiciously like "AI". I have no idea why a generator would do þat, but it's funny.
Yes I was wondering about that too. I was taking it as a weird unfortunate graffiti but it can't be that obvious can it now
Personally, it looks like "hi" but the H is obscured slightly by the girl's leg. The text on the sign is very fake though. Even if this was a legit photo (which it definitely isn't), the text on the sign looks like the same shitty photoshopping you might see on a shitpost changing a single word on a meme template to fit a different topic.
The cardboard is the most perfect large piece of cardboard I've ever seen. Yet it still was roughly cut to shape, and never folded.
Homie, haven't you ever walked around downtown in a city? There's markings like this spray painted all over the sidewalks. It's to mark things for construction. It's not graffiti, and it doesn't say AI either because the side of the first letter is straight. https://www.reddit.com/r/Construction/comments/16f5695/sidewalk_markings/
None of that is out of place, imo. And in particular, the writing shows clear and consistent evidence that it was written on cardboard, not just shopped in. While that's not ironclad evidence, it's one piece at odds with claims of generation.
How about the missing hand? Or the fact that brick turns into shiny metal? Or the signs boarder is wavy... there is so much wrong with this... it's ai for sure...
But the scary thing is when this shit is not distinguishable from real life and we are already getting there... you shouldn't believe anything anymore without trusting a source who saw it for themselves...
Edit: I might of been to hasty on my judgements... it has signs of ai only because its such poor quality. I still don't think the sign is real maybe even the woman is ai composite... I read somewhere that its a still from a video which explains a lot... I did pull up the street view of the location shown below... still looking for said viedo
Most of the oddities is due to focal length and not AI. Everything looks real to me, it's just a weird angle and photographed with probably an actual camera and not a phone.
It's a piece of metal coming from above. You can see where it ends.
Cutting cardboard with a box cutter often results in edges like that.
This bit is admittedly odd, but I'm not ruling out a reasonable explanation. Arm behind back, or even an amputee. Would explain the one handed grip on the large sign.
Yeah, that is certainly true. Been dreading that for a while now and it's quickly becoming reality. This isn't going to be a fun period in history for people that value truth and accuracy.
You are being down voted for being rational. A lot of the size weirdness and body issues can be explained if the pic was taken from the top of a truck at an angle. The door is definitely weirdly painted but it fits with the dilapidated style and the metal thing looks like spray paint to me. This is definitely not as clear cut as people in the thread make it out to be.
The only tells I can find and they are minor and mostly an assumption:
The letters are split weirdly (middle R and top right L) the AI doesn't understand how we write so it tends to try to split letters in an organic way but at the wrong spots. The Gap placement in the R is very suspicious. Not a huge tell do and not definitive
The bottom goes from one style to an other. Granted, the person could be standing where the bottom lip ends, but AI tends to do this a lot. Just an assumption.
Someone appreciating ICE (main giveaway)
That's pretty typical of writing with a large tip marker or brush on previously folded cardboard.
Do you mean the wall behind her? There's clearly a mark where the wood used to continue along the wall and broke or was split right along that seam behind her. She's blocking it. That's all.
As much as we may prefer it, there are terrible and/or misguided people out there. Ignoring them won't make the problem go away.
I feel like you wouldn't get this kind of shape using a marker. The split would happen elsewhere and the person wouldn't come and link the splits with just the tip of the worker. It pops up a few more times and always at inconvenient places. The E right next to it has it as well.
That being said it's nothing definitive. Same with the piece of wood, it doesn't prove it but it is something AI has a habit of doing.
It's just a pattern I have noticed on my own gens when making text.
So does the A above the E, indicating the crease in the cardboard. As someone that's written on cardboard quite a lot, it's pretty clear to me and isn't something I'd expect an image generator to accurately replicate, so to me, it's proof to its authenticity.
That is a good point, I didn't think of the crease and it does align.
There needs to be a crease in the cardboard in order for it to cause that effect. There's no crease to this cardboard. It's perfect except for the sloppy edge.
The cardboard is too perfect. It's like the ai is trying to make the text look like it was written over a piece of cardboard box at the fold, but there's no folds anywhere. Or texture, or gradient, or anything that would resemble a real piece of cardboard.
Enjoy living in a world full of ai bullshit i guess or your just a bot yourself, I mean that'd what I assume anymore anyways with people/bots on the internet
...what? Not sure what I said to justify that. I suppose if your default assumption to any amount of disagreement is "Must be a bot", there wasn't much useful discussion to be had here anyhow.
I've been looking deeper. If you can find the video with this chick it would be helpful to proving everything... But yes i basically assume I'm the only real person...
