These AI generated pics are becoming impossible to spot

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 🤡

I read AI and I am focused exclusively on the hands. So much that at first I didn't even see the fire...

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.

Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm

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.

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

AI in the tent:

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.

I hate how obsessed AI has made me with hands and feet. cause that used to be how you noticed AI pics (still is, to a degree, but they are sadly getting better at not creating abomination limbs), they always fucked up the hands and feet.

and now I find my eyes immediately drawn to hands and feet of any picture, even in real life, cause this stupid bullshit has trained my eyes to scan for weird digital hallucinatory biology.

and I can not begin to express in human language how much I hate it now that i've noticed it

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 ☝️)

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.

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

The finglonger!

They never get the hands right lol

The fire IN the tent is hilarious

Apparently Ai can't do average or ugly people.

Dang, that is pretty spot on! When I go camping, I often find myself contemplating a pretend fire in front of me while I prepare for carbon monoxide poisoning in my tent...but I keep my flaps open! Safety first!

Fuck I was totally convinced until I saw her shoe laces

This reminds me of camping in my youth with my alcoholic uncle.

That's a cozy fire for sure.

It's funny how the generators arent getting better. They've plateaued pretty hard in terms of believability. Glance value? Convincing.

Under any level of scrutiny though this falls apart in at least a dozen ways.

Too perfect but wrong hands

This AI was trained on Dr Seuss's Wacky Wednesday

Plus side is generating them is increasing global warming

Except for the super long pinky finger shes cute

Nice asbestos tent, but she still got Gollum fingers doe. 😏

Wolverine somehow ended up in the model data and there you have it.

her fingers are still funky but not terrible!

Every time I see the body horror AI produces I feel like I'm MacReady at McMurdo in desperate need of my flamethrower.

Is this the female Wolverine?

How will artists ever compete with this?

Looks fine to me. I'm an ordinary human just like you.

There’s still something uncanny about it.

Still incredibly impressive. I wouldn’t believe this was prompt generated just a few years ago.

What a cozy fire.

Op this is such a wonderful troll lol. Half the comments are eating it right up.

I've seen live people actually starting a bonfire in their living room something like 20 years ago, so to me this is perfectly possible :D

The magical half chair, half rock.

I like how it was able to handle the fire's lighting effect and tent occulsion, and I wonder if it thinks of it like a fireplace, as inside a home.

Is it the finger mutation? It's the cybe finger mutation, isn't it.

The eyes look demonic

She has the same skeletal structure as Wolverine it seems.

Lol, nice way to wake up seeing this

The point is they're improving. And there will be a time when we won't be able to tell. Like, completely indistinguishable from a real picture. It's only a matter of time.

Even with foreshortening, those are some freakishly short legs.

this is clearly AI generated the boot laces look weird
