The image is AI, of course, but it's irritating that I can't even find where it came from. Usually my image search tools help me track down a source. Someone just posted this AI slop without a care in the world, and the others sharing it without context are not helping.

Could be classic Photoshop

This one is a bit difficult. When I looked it up, it showed low chance of AI, but I tried only on tool.

Trying to reverse image search it, is just a shit ton of people sharing the same image across different sites. I wasn’t able to actually nail down where it came from either.

Thanks for that link. Bookmarking it to use later.

Edit: tools to check

What’s annoying is when you get different results from these tools. The first one seemed to be more reliable, but it’s like are you relying on AI to detect AI? This shit always bugs me

but it’s like are you relying on AI to detect AI?

Buddy, that's all it has ever been. Sell you the problem, and then sell you a solution that doesn't work either. At some point you realize the only solution is not to play.

Look up the Photoshop detection website, it's been a minute since I used it last, but that was pretty good for detecting.

Not saying it's AI, but look at the right edge of the building above and below the truck. It's definitely fake.

Look at the physics of a full truck being held horizontal by a small section of an exterior around the cab

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I agree that it seems impossible for a truck to be stuck like that. But you can't see if there are some steel rods jutting through appropriate places or something else weird going on to keep it there. Think about floating shelves, tensegrity tables, or those street performers sitting/levitating in an "impossible" seat, for example.

You can't necessarily "see" physics in a still frame picture. There are millions of examples of things that look impossible, but you're just seeing them from the wrong angle, and there's some hidden thing going on.

That edge of the building is an immediate and completely apparent error in whatever work was done to generate the image.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I get your point but all of those are lighter weight with deliberately hidden supports and this is a 10,000kg+ truck
