    Fuck, this one got me. I didn’t see the watermark. Even looking closely the details don’t seem AI, the floppy disks on the table, the cup, the keyboard colouring, the phone wire. Even the numbers on the calendar seem plausible with the bad compression. I hate this doubting every picture I see on the internet

        I wanna cry man, I wanna cry. HOW LONG do i have to ask myself “Is this AI?” whenever I see an image on internet?

          Always from now on, it won’t end. And I think it’s a good example here, as it’s clearly indicated with the watermark. Without it I wouldn’t have been sure, this image is very good quality. My clues were the calendar is too conveniently place at the perfect location, and I tried to figure out which win version is that, and the thickness of the header of the warning dialog seems too thick compared to the taskbar. Then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark

          I’m not a luddite, this technology has some good uses, and this is an important step in the good direction that they add a watermark. Next should be an ai notice added to the metadata of the image, so the hosting site could understand it and mark as such, and users can filter it.

          Bad actors obviously could remove any kind of watermark or metadata, so this wouldn’t help against them, but as we see how it goes with drm there is no perfect way to make sure the slop can be always marked as such.

            The crazy thing about the calendar is that it’s right. A year ago, I wouldn’t have even expected an AI generated image to get the correct number of days in a week, but not only does it get that right, but it correctly shows that March has 31 days and that March 1999 started on a Monday.

            The placement isn’t that much of a giveaway either. Five or ten years before this hypothetical photo, that desk would have been just a desk, which is exactly where you’d have put a calendar. Old habits die hard, and I definitely knew people who still hung calendars next to their computer desk.

            It’s only going to continue to get harder to tell.

    i see the watermark but is this actually a generated image? I’m normally good at being able to tell. this image feels fine to me though? like the reflections on the light switch cover and on the picture frame feel natural. the keyboard looks correct. i guess the vents on the slightly stubbly crt are a bit wonky and the calendar can’t decide between 1998 and 1958 lol

        it’s messy AF, but lines up with 98 which it kinda looks like it was trying to print. I’m actually a little scared with this one, it’s a lot less obvious that previous generations.

        People mention the gun was wrong, but that’s outside my wheel house.

        The monitors badge is not any name that existed back then and they gave it a trinitron tube.

        The task bar button for the error window is WAY too wide.
