I can't tell what's AI or real anymore. I'm only 33. Obviously the poorly done or sloppy pictures I can tell. But sometimes.....I just don't know anymore.
I love it. Oh also, your auto jackers are a nice touch. Also thanks for the free porn.
Your sim needs better writers, the 2025 season is literally unbelievable.
Yea.. if I had a DVR I'd skip this season.
I'm no photo-ologist, but this one is probably especially challenging because a 96 year old photo naturally is lower quality, which could hide imperfections more easily.
I'm also no AI-ologist - I often miss even the obvious ones - but it didn't occur to me that this might be fake until I read your comment. It does seem that the postman is unusually happy.
edit: Add two missing letters that completely reversed my point.
It could be AI colorized which is what I am hoping I cought on to lol
That does seem pretty feasible. In fact, the first thing I did before responding was check when color photography became popular; at a glance there wasn't an answer about commonality in the wiki page, but color photos were apparently invented most of a century beforehand, so really I'm not sure either way.
I hope this entirely unproductive comment helps. For the time being, I'm just going to assume it's real and that this guy took pride in his trade.
I take pride in what I do, so I can see some people relate job=pride. But yea I'm in the same boat as you.
