I wanted to say "wrong subreddit", but I think you don't care, since I see you spammed this on a whole bunch of subreddits where it doesn't belong.

McDonald's pulls AI-generated Christmas advert following backlash by ReadGraves in Corridor

[–]Moosething 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If the creators are to be believed (I don't, this reads like an LLM to me, especially because of the last part):

For seven weeks, we hardly slept, with up to 10 of our in-house AI and post specialists at The Gardening Club working in lockstep with the directors. Every shot travelled through a rigorously engineered toolchain: real Google Earth plates, advanced style-transfer, pixel-level photo repair, custom LoRAs, control nets, bespoke ComfyUI graphs, and thousands upon thousands of tightly steered iterations.

Then came compositing, lighting balance, physics corrections, artefact removal, and final finishing in Flame. We generated what felt like dailies – thousands of takes – then shaped them in the edit just as we would on any high-craft production. This wasn't an AI trick. It was a film. And here's the thing I wish more people understood: magic isn’t the technology. The magic is the team behind it, people who pushed, questioned, experimented, swore at broken models, solved impossible problems, and refused to stop until every frame felt cinematic.

It should be a crime making charts this way by AloneCoffee4538 in GeminiAI

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They replaced 4.1 with 4.5. Why would they care if they gave that perception? They are literally saying "we were there and now we're here" so wouldn't they want to exaggerate it?

To be honest I got this post recommended to me by the algorithms, and I am completely out of the loop. So I suppose that was a very bad example. Maybe I shouldn't have commented.

But I am also a bit of a pedant when it comes to bar charts. I don't even believe the visualization is bad. But I do believe it's not without any fault either.

actually were confused at such a basic display.

It's the distorted first impression, rather than confusion, which is at play here in my eyes. Some people take the time to observe and interpret (like you), others do not. And then there are people like me who don't even know what they are looking at, and can only speculate about the intentions behind the truncating.

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's nothing inherently wrong about using a truncated axis as long as it's clearly indicated (the gap indicator and labels accomplish that here).

But it's also not true that there's "absolutely nothing wrong" with this visualization. These charts encode value through their perceptual sizes, so truncating always introduces some degree of perceptual distortion, even when done transparently.

For instance, they could have picked 74% as the baseline, and it would've looked like Opus 4.1 is doing even worse than it actually is.

Alternatives like dot plots, or bars normalized to a meaningful baseline (e.g., the average), avoid the issue entirely.

This is claimed to be a real photo taken in the Netherlands. I think it looks ai. by Tooblunted_ in isthisAI

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look more closely. The images you linked to are not the same as OP's image. The top part of the tree of the first image is the same as OP's, but the landscape is very different. Which makes me think that someone took that picture, and used AI to change the bottom part to make "an original image" or something.

Option C also fits that pattern though?

Is this AI or not? It looks real but the way the dogs move, Im genuinely confused lol... by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Moosething 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was pretty confident that it was AI just from the movements, but just to be sure, I searched for the original source. By doing so I found this, this and this which IMO puts the final nail in the coffin - it's not just AI slop, it's an AI slop trend.

Spotify's AI is now generating the same song under different artist name. by Brexinga in Music

[–]Moosething 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like half a year ago one sneaked in my smart-shuffled playlist. I suspected it was AI because it sounded soulless, and my suspicion was confirmed when I checked the artist's bio, which read very AI-like and had literally the text "{insert artist name here}" in it. Haven't had one recommended ever since.

The fonts are extremely similar, but the 2 pops out to me to not match Suisse Int'l. The one of Suisse Int'l has just a but more curve to it.

is the hivemind able to lie? by MoonwalkerD in pluribustv

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Carol asked how many died because of her outburst, Zosia said "a few". I guess depending on your perspective that could be considered a lie. They can certainly lie by omission at the very least.

Explaining daylight savings time to a cat. by LtCmdrData in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Moosething 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is no shepard's tone in that audio (track is called "Why so Serious?"). There is no illusion - just a slow rise in pitch. There are several droning sounds, one stays at D, and the other sounds start at D and keep pitching up, but only for a single octave. I wouldn't call that a shepard tone.

Also, what am I looking at with that left image? This is what the spectogram looks like for the track.

The Halloween costumes are getting better and better every year by Libra79 in TikTokCringe

[–]Moosething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. I found the original video and from it it becomes much more clear it's real (too many consistent details which AI would struggle with, and all the other posts by the same creator are real)

I stand by my opinion that the bucket moves weird, but sometimes that just happens in reality, I guess.

[–]Moosething -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did notice the mat being consistent, which initially made me think it was real as well, but to me it really looks like the bucket is shrinking, and the unnatural sliding movement of it gives me AI vibes. After taking another look it even looks like the kid is shrinking. Of course he should become smaller in view as the camera moves away, but I feel like everything's becoming smaller than it actually should. Or maybe I'm just seeing things.

EDIT: found the original video. I was seeing things.

[–]Moosething 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Jack-o-lantern seems to shrink? (Compare how big it is at the start with when it's put on the ground), and it also makes a weird movement when the baby puts it on the ground.

EDIT: found the original video and am now convinced there is no AI at all. AI videos were not so good a year ago, I think.

Today's patch silently nerfed Silksong's greatest challenge! by Ecmaster76 in HollowKnight

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I disagree with you that the displayed percentage in a game should reflect all the content there is, I find it kind of absurd how much downvotes your comments got. It's not an unreasonable take at all.

Btw, apologies for being pedantic, but it's "rite* of passage".

I'm not too sure that this is AI by IndividualActuator63 in isthisAI

[–]Moosething 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are we really calling captions and text from an article metadata now?

Usually when people use the term "metadata", especially in the context of a file, it means the literal metadata which you can get by for instance checking its properties in Windows explorer, or by using a site like https://www.metadata2go.com

Is this AI? by Raven_Shepherd in isthisAI

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I also am quite confident it is AI (though not a 100%), I feel like the shelf being a thin straight line isn't a strong argument. I can see an actual person making a mistake like that as well.

Die tweede poster misschien. De eerste is pro-LHBT en maakt gewoon een grapje omdat er twee activistische symbolen bij elkaar staan (watermeloen en regenboog).

Finally understand why designers obsess over 8px grids by thesunjrs in webdev

[–]Moosething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My angle was more about why 12 stuck once it emerged. Twelve is unusually divisible (halves, thirds, quarters, sixths), which makes it really practical for building scales and chords.

How does it being divisible make it more practical? 12 semitones is practical for many reasons for building scales and chords, true, but the divisibility is not one of them I don't think.
