How can you not? Like there are specific tells as the other user pointed out, but aside from that so much AI slop just has this absurd uncanny valley quality that Im actually kinda blown away that other people don't immediately see it.
I’m not sure what to tell you. I just don’t see what you do. And I never bother to look at a meme close enough to notice the kind of details the other user pointed out.
For this picture in particular, there's something about the screaming guy that's setting off AI alarm bells to me. You see that sort of facial expression a lot with AI pictures when it's trying to generate someone yelling or distressed.
Ironically, the human brain is so good at picking up patterns that after you've seen enough AI slop you begin to notice some of the tells for otherwise realistic pictures. That's not to say that people could discern ALL AI pictures, but I think it is true for most of the lazy, slop pictures that are generated.
I guess I just don't see enough memes to have picked up on that
The text is hiding a lot of details, but the nurse is pushing a normal chair, as if it was a wheelchair.
And the composition gives AI vibes as well. But all of that could also just be because the photo is poorly staged.
