It’s not that these images are perfect - it’s that they’re close enough.
The “problem” is that these images look amazing with a minimal touchup - something which would happen anyway to a real photo.
An extra hour to two fixing some AI artifacts (the ol’ droop-eye and derp-hand) is a LOT cheaper than getting actual people out to an actual location and taking an actual photo.
EDIT: I just realised the tent is on fire 🤡
Honestly if you did those touch ups and said it was real I would still believe it, reminds me of that subreddit where they post weird Stockphotos. Like the lady soldering but she’s holding the hot bit of the solder iron, or the hackerman with the faux mask. Serious stock photos can be hilarious sometimes.
I read AI and I am focused exclusively on the hands. So much that at first I didn’t even see the fire…
Same lol
To be fair, I’m not sure this is an unrealistic scenario of your average instagram influencer going out camping.
At some point some artist is going to screw with all of us by taking a real photo with a campfire in a tent.
Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.
You can tell it is fake because no human would tie up the tent door flaps using the little nylon fettuccine thingies they sew onto each side
Uh
It’s funny how similar AI generated images are to accompanying drawings for “what are ten things that are wrong with this picture?” style questions in an IQ test.
They never get the hands right lol
Too perfect but wrong hands
The fire also looks a bit too intents to me 😉
This AI was trained on Dr Seuss’s Wacky Wednesday
Looks fine to me. I’m an ordinary human just like you.
Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm
I did not notice that, all I did was look at the image on autopilot
The hot air is also guaranteed to keep the tent up.
If you put the whole ass campfire in the tent, it might fly away. Put the fire in the freezer overnight, then thaw it out in chunks when needed.
Alternatively, scrape some glue off your pizza and use it to stick the tent’s bottom to the ground.
I always pack several tablets of dehydrated water with me so if I’m running out, I can just dissolve a couple to have something to drink or cook with
Great advice. I’ve sometimes woken up several fields over after the fire has been a bit ferocious. The screams of my family as we’ve flown over people’s houses has also caused some complaints.
It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.
Transcript of me examining this picture:
"Okay, face looks okay, jacket makes sense, let’s look at the hands. Looks like four fingers on her left hand there, the right hand, thumb’s a little screwy, is that a stick or is she part tarsier? Something’s kind of screwy there. Boots look about right, there’s even a pretty decent depth of field on the sho-THE FIRE IS IN THE TENT.
Man I didn’t even notice the fire in the tent until I read your comment …
The eyes see what they want to see 🤷♂️
I noticed the fire and I noticed the tent. I was too distracted by the hands to notice that the fire was in the tent… What has AI images done to me? Haha.
You’re not alone. I expect far too long focused on the hands and face…
Also is this an AI making a dumb blonde joke?
I mean I can think of a few ways to keep a text warm. A few ways involving a dumb blonde…
This ain’t it chief!
Though considering I didn’t notice the location of the fire until reading the comment, maybe I should the dumb blonde…
Reminds me of the Dad joke: Set a man a fire, he’s warm for the night. Set a man on fire, he’ll be warm the rest of his life!
That tent is about to get real hot…
It’s like that test where you count the number of basketballs and miss the guy in the gorilla costume.
A smart move would have been to put a real photo here and then troll all the comments about uncanny valley …and by smart I mean evil.
…
I will totally do that in future.
( btw. the hands are still messy ☝️)
Did you miss the fire in the tent too?
I’ve seen enough posts on Instagram to not be surprised by idiots ruining a perfectly good tent just for a shot 🤷♂️
I think it’d be pretty tricky to get a fire going at that size and get the photo taken before the thin plastic of the tent melted or burst into flames. The tent in the picture is fine, which I honestly think would be impossible with that setup, even if you tried to be quick
How about the stick that is glued on top of her hand?
That’s part of the “messy hands”
It would be neat to have a community where images are posted and people discuss whether they are authentic photos or AI generated.
LOL
I was like “Ok where’s the catch? Too many fingers? 3 feet? Dang those pictures are good now, was OP just being serious?” And then I saw. Fucking hilarious.
Thanks for the laugh OP
Cheers mate, I needed to share the joy ^^
Yeah, this was a good one: I spent way too long counting fingers and looking closely at the detailed parts of the picture before I saw it
The tells
Hands issues, thumb and metal claw
Face issue, studio lighting on face, right eye is not eyeing.
Body issues, left leg is a weird tiny leg
Boot laces lack credibility
Fire in a tent
AI is bad at the details.
I’ve gotten so used to looking at the details that I didn’t even notice the blatant fire-in-the-tent.
I was staring at the hands and thinking it wasn’t too bad.
They’re terrible!
I actually kind of love that AI art can’t even pretend to do hands right. But also I had an instructor who’s catch phrase was ‘‘if you let the computer do it, it’s gonna suck’’ so. Not really a surprise AI can only defeat art that’s placid and uninspired shit. and can’t even do anything on model or sequential… it’s just… it can be a placeholder and that’s about it.
Same!
Prespective is not done properly. Trying to spoof 3D with a 2D model.
