Probably machine learning bullshit, yes.

Can I join the AI witch hunt? I'm assuming y'all get paid? Or is it just another sort of religion?

OR, you could simply check for yourself.

Na I am just frustrated with low effort, billionaire-enriching, climate-destroying garbage ruining the internet.

Oldest is may 2022 so...

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Ok not AI, ty. I'm still not convinced it's real.

This picture was from over a decade ago, so before AI. I couldn’t find the source just now, but I remember seeing that this was photoshopped, the tree texture was applied to a photo of a woman in the roots.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

It's an old photoshop.

[–] j4k3@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not AI from me. It was from anon. I know AI really well, and this would cause problems with most models. There are no errors in that vain. This should be very offensive to alignment based on the positioning and details.

I have seen a great number of poorly Photoshopped images in my time as a photographer and I can tell by the pixels that it is a fake

Tangentially relevant xkcd

That face reminds me of the lost in space robot (new series).
