  This image is older than generative AI…

    So this is the world we live in now huh? Only those who remember the images can be sure of the authenticity 😟

      maybe i just haven’t seen enough AI generated garbage yet but the jpeg compression should be obvious. im literally not that old such that compression artifacts aren’t common knowledge. even if people don’t know the name who hasn’t seen it a ton aside from maybe the Amish.

    The original one maybe but this ain't it chief. Plus it's pretty easy toake images look old.

      Yeah, no… This image has been a meme for decades. Gonna take a wild guess that you’re not that old or have been on the internet that long.

        Or https://xkcd.com/1053/

        maybe let's not assume someone's age like an ass and instead celebrate getting to teach someone something new to them.

      Just because I was bored I did your research for ya. Here is this exact image being tweeted by David Spade in 2015.

      You’re bad at this.

        you know, I'll admit I was wrong. Glad Cunningham's law still works

  It’s easy to confuse high compression JPEG artifacts with AI fuckery. IMO, if it was AI the lines would be cleaner and there would be other screwed up hands.

  I’ve seen this for many years. I think it’s both their hands

    nah, homie has more of a tan than see does. Zoom in a bit, you'll see we've got good ole Johnny 20 fingers.

      He’s got his fingers and thumb bent weirdly holding her pregnant belly. It looks big but then compare it to her near hand and it doesn’t seem that unlikely a size or shape to me. Shadows, light shining off his skin and image compression artifacts also may be adding to your confusion.

        I think it's the compression subjects and shadows but yeah appreciated
