First, @nialv7@lemmy.world was right, the background by itself without the box has a synthid, I commented some screenshots below.
I also see those “ai artifacts” on the barcode, though I wasn’t as sure about it before seeing the synthid.
I can make out that the lines don’t run quite parallel but form these V and Λ shapes, closer together on one end and merging together.
Counting the left most blurry line as one, the 5th is leaning into the 4th line at the top for example. The compression is strong and the image doesn’t have enough resolution to make it out very clearly, but it still looks like an actual detail not a compression artifact to me. The lines are all a bit wonky, more than the noise could do.
Here’s a way more obvious example:
This has some other artifacts too that I don’t see in the post, but you can see the general wonkiness. And also how some lines have “bled” together, though this isn’t a great example of that.
