That image looks very AI generated.
But that doesn't mean I don't want the fucking thing.
How so, i dont see any of the tell tale signs, the geometry is consistent, the shapes on the companion cube are accurate, everything is either curved or a straight edge, shadows make sense, and it doesnt have that glossy polished ai art style a lot of public models have. Plus is has the button and removable front plate we saw with the stock steam machine 2 in the right places, am i missing something
It looks like they merged the original picture with a companion cube image.
Some suspicious things are the openings for the USB ports which are way too narrow to plug anything into, the extremely fast timeframe in which this image was produced, the angle of the box which matches 100% with the original picture, and there only being 1 low quality picture of it. Almost all of this points towards an AI image merge, which also explains why the openings, edges, button and shadows would be close to perfect.
Keep in mind that I'm not saying they will not produce this. But let's also not let our love for this thing cloud objective reasoning.
It looks like concept art, but I dunno about AI
