I wasn’t sure if this was misinformed satire or satire of misinformed satire, but looking at OP’s profile shows they really don’t have any comprehension of reality or morality. Or their ardent and constant defense of the indefensible and provocative, especially in places wherein it would be coldly received, could theoretically be an intentional provocation by a larger maligned entity that seeks to promote deceptive and derisive propaganda. Theoretically. Or they could be an out of touch individual. Theoretically.

This comic really confused me at first because I couldn’t make out what that first item was and because there are no motion lines. Reading OP’s caption clarified things for me.

While I appreciate you calling out AI content, it is helpful to substantiate how you concluded that it is AI generated to prevent people thinking these claims are all false positives. Nothing in the image seemed uncanny to me (apart from whatever physics would be required to make the suit itself). Several different online AI image detectors all claimed this image was real. Reverse image searches led to only recent social media posts with no further details. I did find two sources (of dubious credibility) that claim it to be AI generated
Source 1: https://x.com/i/trending/1987710874111398067
Source 2: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/beer-jacket-viral-trend/
Despite the apparent lack of any AI generated image traits (as far as the detectors and me can tell), since there is apparently no further details and all of the information is new and “viral”, I would think this is AI generated. It would also make sense as an awareness marketing scheme for the beer brand on the front of the coat.
What characteristics stuck out to you?

On social media like Reddit, unnecessary censorship is often used as engagement bait. As far as I am aware, comments on the Threadiverse (a broader term than just “Lemmy”) only boosts posts upward in the Active category rather than in the Hot category, so that form of engagement bait uniquely does not really work here. Additionally, bots on Reddit would repost (either from old Reddit posts or directly from the source social medium) screenshots of tweets with the username edited to a different user, sometimes even celebrities, to bypass image recognition filters.
In my mind, it’s always best to cite your source if you can. However, if you can separate the self-focused fluff (if there is any) from the actual content, that would be even better. An example of this is a screenshot of a TikTok with a paragraph of soapbox text located near the content creator’s face; we don’t need the excess focus on the clout-chasing, so cropping the image to just their paragraph (assuming it is an original quote) and citing the creator would be better in that case.
On another sidenote, unlike Reddit, you can edit your posts here to change the image in the post.

- Comment on I swear half the posts on here are just slop now 1 week ago:
Do you have links to any examples? I can’t say I’ve seen a whole lot of what you’re describing apart from a few isolated posts or comments here or there. I’d suggest checking to see if a significant portion of these posts are coming from a specific community or from a specific instance, and then adjusting your blocks to accommodate.
P.S. Since we’re on the topic, I’m not a bot; I just talk and write like this.
P.P.S. That’s not entirely true. I would have written “I’m not a bot—I just talk and write like this.” but it didn’t seem like an appropriate time to use an em dash.

- Comment on If I can only find an artist on streaming platforms and no other search hits, does that most likely mean it's an AI generated artist? 2 weeks ago:
I looked up a “Phil Axes” “song” on YouTube, where it lists composer and publisher credits. The composer is credited as Fabian Friedman and the publisher is listed Copyright Control, which seems to mean it was self-published. If you search for self-published songs by Fabian Friedman using these known search terms, you get an abundance of different “artists” of different names, and way too much music for one person to output that frequently under different project names. It looks to me like Fabian Friedman is an AI ”music” spammer.
A lack of social media, blogs, or a personality on Bandcamp are a good sign that a newly surfaced obscure act may be fake.

A post like this is not guaranteed to be by a bad actor, but it is a major red flag and I suggest good actors avoid it or otherwise make their intentions expressly clear if they were to make posts like it. Typically, spam bot accounts would have new and/or barren profiles, or may have bot-like post and comment history such as LLM generated text or two-dimensional “personalities” and interests. I mentioned the choice of medium as something for users to think about as a loose heuristic for critically examining the content that they consume.
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 3 weeks ago:
Your comment is true for most other online fora and social media. If I remember correctly, comments do not bring posts upward in the Hot feed in the Threadiverse. Engagement bait for clout is limited to just “Upvote if…” posts. If you don’t like a post here, downvoting is the most effective way to disadvantage it from being seen. It takes only a minute or two for someone to search for an uncensored image or to manually retype the words before posting a tacky censored version.
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 3 weeks ago:
117 upvotes condemning the censorship but only 17 downvotes on the censorship. 100 people are either experiencing cognitive dissonance or they don’t realize that downvoting is a way to discourage bad content here.
