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

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.

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.

Anything is a sex toy to those of us with an imagination.

That’s an Australian Kmart, which still exist everywhere here (anko is their house brand). They definitely do not sell sex toys.

Huh, did not know that thanks for the info.
I am surprised the place with 24/7 nitrous delivery draws the line at sex toys in stores but it is also weird for America to be okay with considering the extreme puritanical stance on non-pedo/incest/bestiality sexuality…I wonder if there’s a business opportunity for wang shaped nang tanks?

The first clue was Kmart honestly.

Honestly, would you be surprised about this being sold in something lile AliExpress or Amazon?
I would not.

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.

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.

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

this is exact what i was saying. i didn’t assume anyone thought it was real, but apparently a lot of people thought it was photoshop (which requires skill, practice, time, and effort), when it was really AI (which doesn’t). the proof is the fact that the entire image has SynthID, you can block out the product image (which is also AI generated) from the photo and it still has SynthID. someone took one AI image and asked AI to edit it into a photo, it’s AI all the way down.
People are fooled by a genAI image and thought it was created by a human, and when given the facts they choose to denial and continue to be confidently wrong about it. i mean i already know it’s difficult for humans to admit that they are wrong, but to see that actually play out in front of my eyes…
