We are done. People who can identify an AI image are now the minority and the mass will choose to be confidently wrong about it.

It’s a butt plug in a department store, of course it’s fake.

Department stores do carry sex toys. Obviously not Kmart since that hasn’t been a thing in like 20 years but Target and such places do have them on the shelves.

The first clue was Kmart honestly.

Nobody thinks this is a real image in a Kmart. They just dispute whether the obviously fake image was photoshopped or generated by AI.
The butt plug image used is AI but also from the company that sells them: https://craverise.com/products/stainless-steel-hidden-key-box-butt-plug
That does not mean that putting the AI image in that context for humorous purposes was done in AI.
It is also trivial to strip watermarks so checking for watermarks isn’t reliable. Not all gen AI images are even created with watermarks. It’s like checking an optional note from a parent.

I’m weirdly disappointed the real product has a gem in the base.

So, the image is fake, but the product exists. Also, Kmart does sell a few sex toys. So, the only lie here is that Kmart sells this particular sex toy, as it does not.

Many years ago, before Walgreens started selling sex toys in store, I bought a hitachi magic wand from them. (This was before their mainstream adoption as a sex toy, and they were not labeled as such on their site. They were significantly cheaper there than at places selling them as sex toys.)
But to your point - many believable lies contain plausible truths.
