Hey what part do you think looks like AI slop?
I can't see anything suspect but I'm looking pretty hard for it. If I'm wrong then that's scary.
Is the photo somehow glitched that I don't see?
He thinks smartphone camera upscaling is AI slop
WHICH IT IS, but it's not what he thinks it is
No, look at all the additional comments that have pointed out all the errors. This is almost definitely an ai generated image. I think you're right that there might ALSO be ai upscaling, but the base image is likely an ai generated image too
i also didnt see it at first.
look at the person in the brown coat on the right. their glasses and eyes melted together. the text above them is garbled nonsense. and the person sitting to their left is wearing shoes that dont fit into the background and slightly overlap with the other ones' shoes. the person on the left holding their glasses seems to still be wearing glasses, and their ear is an unusual shape.
thats about all i noticed tho. pretty scary indeed.
EDIT: i believe i stand corrected and the glitches i pointed out are just camera glitches or possibly some kind of unusual photo editing.
I think you’re wrong.
The glasses are absolutely smudged, but that is from the image processing on the phone. Low light most smartphones try to reduce noise by smoothing the picture, often excessively.
The text above the woman is not garbled nonsense, it says “ is biGGer”. The upper case G’s makes it look strange, but it is cohesive text.
The shoes look to be another smoothing artifact.
Yeah. This is potato camera image.
The shoes have New Balance and Nike logos. AI would mess that up. The guy standing with his bag between his legs. AI wouldn't add that detail. Plus the guy behind him has blurry hand, I'm guessing because it was moving. AI image wouldn't have that.
No, that is because frames frequently have a lighter color/clear on the inside of the frame so they aren't as distracting. Tufts of hair near ears can also make things look wonky when you can't see fhe individual hairs. Blurry hands tends to be moving. This is a low quality image and the 'blending' effects are just normal potato image quality.
AI would not be able to get buy holding glasses while face in hands right,l (the black line above his ear is hair), would have screwed up the shoe logos, and a bunch of other small details.
There's a bunch more when you look closely. Blue jacket guy's eyeglasses arm blends directly into his hand. And his thumb is wacky looking. White sweater guy's hand is a pointy triangle straight out of tomb raider one. Guy on the right just past the pole, his hands/pants/phone are all a mishmash of impossible. Brown coat lady's ear is straight out of star trek. And her glasses frame rim goes under her nose. Etc.
Signs all over the image, most obvious place to look would be the woman’s face directly under the “is”. Glasses and eyebrows and nose all swirling together
