These AI generated pics are becoming impossible to spot

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

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.

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 ☝️)

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

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 🤡

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.

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

AI in the tent:

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

To be fair, I'm not sure this is an unrealistic scenario of your average instagram influencer going out camping.

The finglonger!

Fuck I was totally convinced until I saw her shoe laces

Apparently Ai can't do average or ugly people.

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.

The fire IN the tent is hilarious

That's a cozy fire for sure.

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!

At some point some artist is going to screw with all of us by taking a real photo with a campfire in a tent.

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

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

her fingers are still funky but not terrible!

Is this the female Wolverine?

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

Plus side is generating them is increasing global warming

There’s still something uncanny about it.

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

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.
