That doesn't mean we don't need to do that tho

It does, because the number of non-AI pics being proclaimed as AI slop is astounding. Every Tom Dick and Harry is suddenly a photographic expert. Even the artists are hurting because they're being falsely accused and having to put in extra effort to document their entire process.

  • The angle of the floor compared to the wall and table.

  • The bag of... bags?

  • The silky smoothness of the skin on the guinea pigs.

  • The missing finger on the hand.

If this isn't AI genned, it's still inexplicably weird as shit just at a glance without even really scrutinizing it deeper. I would still be questioning these elements as being shopped for the WTF value.

  1. It's a 2D pic, how do you even tell what the 'angle' of the floor is?
  2. What I'm hearing is you've never traveled outside of 1st world countries. Here's a similar item. They're incredibly common.
  3. They've been defurred. Because nobody wants a mouth full of hair. Here's a getty image of more guinea pigs waiting to be eaten. Notice the smooth skin?
  4. FFS the finger is just folded under.

it's still inexplicably weird as shit

No it isn't, you're just being extremely narrow visioned and expecting everything to align with your tiny bit of experience with the world.
