Transcript of me examining this picture:
"Okay, face looks okay, jacket makes sense, let’s look at the hands. Looks like four fingers on her left hand there, the right hand, thumb’s a little screwy, is that a stick or is she part tarsier? Something’s kind of screwy there. Boots look about right, there’s even a pretty decent depth of field on the sho-THE FIRE IS IN THE TENT.
Man I didn’t even notice the fire in the tent until I read your comment …
I noticed the fire and I noticed the tent. I was too distracted by the hands to notice that the fire was in the tent… What has AI images done to me? Haha.
You’re not alone. I expect far too long focused on the hands and face…
The eyes see what they want to see 🤷♂️
It’s like that test where you count the number of basketballs and miss the guy in the gorilla costume.
A smart move would have been to put a real photo here and then troll all the comments about uncanny valley …and by smart I mean troll.
…
I will totally do that in future.
Did you miss the fire in the tent too?
I’ve seen enough post on Instagram to not be surprised by idiots ruining a perfectly good tent just for a shot 🤷♂️
It would be neat to have a community where images are posted and people discuss whether they are authentic photos or AI generated.
LOL
I was like “Ok where’s the catch? Too many fingers? 3 feet? Dang those pictures are good now, was OP just being serious?” And then I saw. Fucking hilarious.
Thanks for the laugh OP
Cheers mate, I needed to share the joy ^^
Yeah, this was a good one: I spent way too long counting fingers and looking closely at the detailed parts of the picture before I saw it
It’s not that these images are perfect - it’s that they’re close enough.
The “problem” is that these images look amazing with a minimal touchup - something which would happen anyway to a real photo.
An extra hour to two fixing some AI artifacts (the ol’ droop-eye and derp-hand) is a LOT cheaper than getting actual people out to an actual location and taking an actual photo.
Honestly if you did those touch ups and said it was real I would still believe it, reminds me of that subreddit where they post weird Stockphotos. Like the lady soldering but she’s holding the hot bit of the solder iron, or the hackerman with the faux mask. Serious stock photos can be hilarious sometimes.
The tells
Hands issues, thumb and metal claw
Face issue, studio lighting on face, right eye is not eyeing.
Body issues, left leg is a weird tiny leg
Boot laces lack credibility
Fire in a tent
AI is bad at the details.
I’ve gotten so used to looking at the details that I didn’t even notice the blatant fire-in-the-tent.
I was staring at the hands and thinking it wasn’t too bad.
Same!
Prespective is not done properly. Trying to spoof 3D with a 2D model.
I read AI and I am focused so much on the hands. So much that at first I didn’t even see the fire…
Same lol
I hate how obsessed AI has made me with hands and feet. cause that used to be how you noticed AI pics, they always fucked up the hands and feet.
and now I find my eyes immediately drawn to hands and feet of any picture, even in real life, cause this stupid bullshit has trained my eyes to scan for weird digital hallucinatory biology.
and I can not begin to express in human language how much I hate it now that i’ve noticed it
And sometimes people just have weird hands. I remember seeing a picture from a Trump rally somebody posted, and people were like “Why does everybody look so weird?” “Must be AI. Look at that baby’s mutant alien hands.” It was a picture from 2017, before all this AI shit started.
Supposedly theres a porn star from the '90/00’s that had a club foot. Super hot, but always had the one foot out of the frame or covered.
Probably “folk lore” but what you said reminded me of that.
Rob Leifeld is a time traveller and used AI for all his drawings.
I mean that was a plot point on the Truman show so…
To be fair, I’m not sure this is an unrealistic scenario of your average instagram influencer going out camping.
The finglonger!
“So that’s what thing swould be like if I invented the finglonger…”
A man can dream though. A man can dream.
Apparently Ai can’t do average or ugly people.
Are those computers running windows? That’s a very inaccurate AI.
Hey, it’s me! Spot on. But should be arch.
This one kind of reminds of Larry Ellison but looks a bit more human than the real Larry
2 fat guy pictures, but with quite the averagely-tended faces and a somewhat digital touch-up. 1 outright regular, maybe overweight person with semitic beard. 1 absolutely fabulous gentleman with furry undertones.
Not even closely ugly. Just some quantifiable stuff imo.
So… I’m safe from deep fake?
You are first safe from jealousy and as a product safe from people wanting to use deep fakes against you
Fuck I was totally convinced until I saw her shoe laces
what about the metal rod extending from her right hand?
That’s a genetic condition, racist
Nah that’s normal, obviously
Just a shitty version of Wolverine
And even that could be one if the “totally lifehack” ways of tieing your shoes that never make any sense.
The fire IN the tent is hilarious
Best to keep the fire contained so you dont burn nature.
This reminds me of camping in my youth with my alcoholic uncle.
Your uncle is hot
I think more that the fire is hot cuz he made it in a tent
You better not be gearing up to go all Deliverance on us with that story
Deliverance didn’t have drunk uncles.
It’s funny how the generators arent getting better. They’ve plateaued pretty hard in terms of believability. Glance value? Convincing.
Under any level of scrutiny though this falls apart in at least a dozen ways.
I think the scale of image believability is logarithmic. Going from “believable at a glance” to “believable under scrutiny” requires an exponential increase in performance compared with going from “not believable at a glance” to “believable at a glance”. The same principle applies to text generation, facial recognition, sound generation, image enhancement, etc. One of the many reasons AI should not be being integrated in many of the ways world governments and corporations are trying to integrate it.
It’s unclear if the current models can reach that level though. They seem more like they’re asymtotically approaching their limit.
Maybe I’m wrong and GPT 5 will be the end all and be all - but I don’t think generalist models will ever be consistent enough. Specialist generators focused on specifics, trained to output very defined data seem more likely to be useful than this attempt to make a single catch all LLM.
It’s more the free and public versions have plateaued the stuff
Gpt 4 premium pictures still have these major issues.
“AI” image generation actually takes a lot of human knowledge and understanding of the models to manipulate outcomes. It is a different kind of effort, but the issues with it are based in human use of the tool.
Prompt engineering isn’t a real field bro
That’s a cozy fire for sure.
Dang, that is pretty spot on! When I go camping, I often find myself contemplating a pretend fire in front of me while I prepare for carbon monoxide poisoning in my tent…but I keep my flaps open! Safety first!
At some point some artist is going to screw with all of us by taking a real photo with a campfire in a tent.
Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.
She still got Gollum fingers doe.
You can tell it is fake because no human would tie up the tent door flaps using the little nylon fettuccine thingies they sew onto each side
Uh
Wolverine somehow ended up in the model data and there you have it.
her fingers are still funky but not terrible!
Is this the female Voulverine?
That’s the tell. Wolverine’s daughter is a brunette.
Plus side is generating them is increasing global warming
Yes and no.
Generating images instead of not generating images? Increases global warming
Generating vacation images instead of flying to vacation? Net benefit
Create 1,000 images with a model like Stable Diffusion XL, and you’ve produced as much carbon dioxide as driving just over four miles in a gas-powered car, according to the researchers Melissa spoke to.
I would say that compares maybe be wrong.
There’s still something uncanny about it.
Still incredibly impressive. I wouldn’t believe this was prompt generated just a few years ago.
Which bit is uncanny to you?
The thing that got me was the lighting. I’ve been camping and you just can’t get a good photo of your tent fire. Not as well lit as this at least.
I don’t trust people with fire-proof tents.
So the fire inside the tent would not give it away a few years back?
Except for the super long pinky finger shes cute
It’s funny how similar AI generated images are to “what are ten things that are wrong with this picture?” questions in an IQ test.
Every time I see the body horror AI produces I feel like I’m MacReady at McMurdo in desperate need of my flamethrower.
How will artists ever compete with this?

Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, that’s fine. It’s the 👍 thumb! Look at it! It’s freakishly small but not ridiculously small.
db2@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Or the single Wolverine stick claw.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 year ago
The hot air is also guaranteed to keep the tent up.
rtxn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If you put the whole ass campfire in the tent, it might fly away. Put the fire in the freezer overnight, then thaw it out in chunks when needed.
Comment105@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It also stores a lot of heat in the walls of the tent, which will keep the air inside from cooling down too much over the course of the night.

I did not notice that, all I did was look at the image on autopilot
