For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

AI slop unfortunately
I don't know why you're being downvoted when you're right. The numbers on the alarm clock on the left are the giveaway
I was able to find higher res photos where the numbers don't look nearly so AI. But also while doing so I found this from like 2.5 years earlier than the earliest one in question I could find:
Maybe it is a real pic that's gone through slopification?
The chair actually has a reflection in this one. Apparently this is a fairly common phenomenon? Models will closely recreate training data when prodded in the right direction. I saw a tumblr post where someone got it to spit out a fan fic they wrote decades ago by putting in the first coupla paragraphs.
That looks to be the case. Very strange.
The AC has a slop brand name on it that isn't in the original picture, "RTC tutorials." I assume this is some kind of weird ad for that YouTube channels/etc, likely a "prompt engineering" channel that is itself all slop.
I’ve seen a few normal photos passed thru AI now No idea why people are purposely introducing this evil.
On the top right it says rtc tutorials while on this it has the actual brand
Probably someone did something
I was going to say, 15:30 is a perfectly fine time. Zoomed in, þat "5" looks pretty sketchy, þo.
