Is that image real?
My ai sense is tingling, but this admin has been a part of so many supremely bizarre things that I can’t rule it out completely
She's 40 and doesn't even look like this, plus the fingers are weird and the clothing exactly matches the couch.
It's REALLY sus ~~coming from Twitter~~. Notably, the couch and her clothing have the exact same pattern. So presumably if this was real someone would have had to reupholster the couch.
Edit: threads
They already do that a few times a week at Number One Observatory Circle ever since they Vances moved in 🤷
Also, I don’t know why the Second Lady (that’s a thing, right?) would ever pose for a photo shoot in pajamas
The fist lady posed nude, so…
Lmao
Freudian slip
I saw her nudes a while back, must have missed that photo shoot.
Given the context of the supposed interview... Pajamas would totally be something they use to try and add authenticity with the common man.
For plaids, thats not really that crazy to find a shirt and matching upholstered couch. (Although now that I think about it I dont think ive ever seen a plaid couch irl, but google has plenty they want to sell me...)
but because all the patterns (tartans) represent families (like a coat of arms) youll see them reused for a lot of different items.
Like at one point, I had a shirt, a throw blanket, and a jacket with a plaid liner, all with the same exact blue green black patern... which i later found out was clan Mckay, and was one of my friend's clan colors.
I think this is one of the Stewart variants? Which would kind of be ironically appropriate forna wannabe kings wife?
It is more complicated than that. There are Scottish Clan tartans, Irish Clan tartans, military tartans, generic tartans, then other plaids and check patterns. You're technically not supposed to use the clan or military tartans for anything other than their intended purpose, but the generics are open game.
Also doesn't help that the Scottish and Irish diaspora in North America is fucking massive even if you are just going by self identification let alone genetics. It's kinda inevitable that clan and military tartans would get misused eventually.
Also as someone who self identified as California-Scots let me tell you the fucken breadth and width of folks who identify as some variety of Scots and/or Irish is downright mind numbing, I've met fellow pals bastards like myself, Native Americans who integrated it into their families identity, and at least one black dude who's grandfather was adopted by a McNulty and who carried that name still. All of them are valid and I will disembowel and feed to the ravens any who disagree.
You can look up pictures of Usha Vance. That ain't her at all.
No, this is AI. Look at the middle finger on her right hand. It's phasing through half a finger under it.
Edit: the top two buttons on her shirt are also placed weird too.
It's also AI because of common sense. People don't wear clothes with their couch pattern, even less so for an official picture when sitting on said couch. The couchfuckers' wife doesn't mimic a couch, the same way trump doesn't drive a taco shaped car
I mean yeah on its face the picture looked incredibly fake, or at best, staged. But some folks don't use common sense anymore. I see boomers sharing AI videos of wild foxes warning a trucker of a rock slide, proclaiming "This proves that god's creatures sense these disasters before they happen!" and they don't even stop to think, "hey, who's filming this, and why does that truck have an amorphous model badge?"
Common sense is an endangered species.
Initial tweet(“”) is dumb too right?
Nobody asked her about making babies no?
I didn’t see anything strange when I glanced over her hands the first time, but usually when I feel the need to check in the first place it’s because my subconscious noticed it was AI right away.
I really love that you're trying to analyze little details here as if the picture just clearly isn't her. Like you don't have to work that hard on this one buddy.
Some folks in this thread seemed genuinely not sure if this picture was real. Just trying to help.
It also feels like a somewhat important skill to have, especially now that AI is getting better at making realistic looking pictures. Those gradeschool "find the mistake in this picture" exercises are finally paying off, lol.
No that doesn't even look like her.
The fact that she looks more like Freida Pinto than Usha Vance makes me think it's AI.
It doesn't seem completely real, but then nothing does anymore. Can we just let reality fall apart completely already, maybe some of us with strong minds can reform a universe from the Unformed that follows.
Maybe 🤷
I don't belive it
An AI detector says is it not.
