New wallpaper just dropped.
This is AI though right? Not real kitties.
The white and black blur in between the cats is clearly trying to be a tail but the color and placement are wrong. The pile in the top right doesn’t make sense, the stairs leading to a square door set at an angle from the stairs is wrong, and the building to the left of that makes no sense either. Plus the overly rich texture of the stairs
I’m going to start ripping my own hair out of my fucking scalp. It’s like every post I make now has an accusation of AI because of real world photography not always making 100% sense.
This is AI though right?
No
Not real kitties.
Real kitties.
The white and black blur in between the cats is clearly trying to be a tail but the color and placement are wrong.
Could also be a dog or another cat that’s behind the two. That blur is on another stair and these two are much closer to the camera, can easily obscure something behind them.
The pile in the top right doesn’t make sense
It’s blurry as hell. You have no idea what that is. You called it a ‘pile’. That could also be flaking off concrete or vines. Saying that it “doesn’t make sense” when you have so little information on what it is is not the immediate assumption you should be making. If you’re dismissing things because of an assumption made on a lack of information then it’s not helpful to anyone.
the stairs leading to a square door set at an angle from the stairs is wrong
Once again, perspective. This is at the bottom of a set of stairs looking up. You would not be able to see the landing at the top that would continue into that door. Moreover, pretty sure that door is a gate for the gap to the right of it. The white is the same as the railing.
and the building to the left of that makes no sense either.
You literally can’t see it.
Plus the overly rich texture of the stairs
Jesus christ. Concrete just looks like that sometimes.
What I would really like is for people to bother going to look for an original source before making these accusations. You think an AI two years ago was able to make that image with no blatant errors in the cats themselves? Especially when no one else in the post is making that accusation? And especially when the same poster made another post of AI cats and it looked like this?
These accusations are exhausting. Firstly because they’re just accusations with zero follow up. It took me 10 seconds to find the original post of that image. Why couldn’t you have done that yourself? Secondly because it scares the hell out of me that things we’ve known about since the dawn of photography are being forgotten about en masse for the easy way of pointing and saying “AI.”
You just used ChatGPT to write that haha

Your family after I’m through with you.

There will come a time when AI images are indistinguishable from the real thing. It’s already possible with inanimate objects, but I haven’t seen a convincing AI living thing yet.
Which is a problem to deal with when it arises. What exhausts me is having to say “No it isn’t AI, it’s real, you just forgot about basic photography. Also stop wasting my time with these accusations that will have people like a mob downvoting something and losing their mind when using tineye for 5 seconds would answer your question.”
I had shit removed from @Pics@lemmy.world because the mod over there saw two accusations of an image being AI and removed it and refused blatant proof of it being a photo from it being from multiple angles with the same “errors”. It’s why I stopped posting there entirely and went to nocontextpics. When the mods are jumping on the bandwagon then it isn’t a place I want to be associated with.
It’s not an accusation, it was a question.
I don’t have strong feelings about AI art, I just enjoy going over the tiny details that makes it look so AI-y. That’s why I commented instead of searching - I was hoping for discussion more than I wanted an answer.
Your detailed response was the kind of thing I was hoping for. I just could’ve done without the unnecessary defensiveness, but otherwise thanks!
Not real kitties.
That’s not a question, feels like an accusation.
Animals making direct eye contact with the camera in images is an ai tell.
No it’s not. I have hundreds of photos on my phone, that I took myself, of my cats staring directly in to the camera that say otherwise. It’s dead simple to make an animal, especially a cat, look at the camera. You just make a “psst psst” sound, or dangle something floppy right above the camera while taking the photo.
Mocha would like to have a word with you.
And so would Casper.I can go on if you’d like.
I think we need a few more.
You know, just to be sure.
