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.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day 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 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hmm, it doesn't look like typical AI. Good oldfashioned photoshop?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 days ago

Is there any evidence to this?

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Could be a film prop

finally, 9-12

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Truck would fall off.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

That's not how objects work.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Okay, but like now that you mentioned it, I would love to see a final destination isekai crossover anime

I died in the most horrible way imaginable, so now I get to be an overpowered super dude in the next world.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Final Destination, but it keeps chasing the protag through multiple reincarnations

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Gotta throw in the unnecessarily long title.

"Death killed me in the most horrible ways imaginable across 999 dimensions, but on the 1000th dimension I killed death and became the Destroyer of Worlds but I keep my powers secret and get revenge on everyone that betrayed me"

I already have a spec script in my head, crunchyroll hit me up.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The guy sees everyone die in the first scene but ends up just going along with it.
