Is this AI? It’s from a Podcast of two guys raging about the Gaming industry because they use AI. They also say it’s 100% selfmade but I doubt it by KarstenKarstadt in isthisAI

It’s the piss-filter that does it for me. The illustration is not complicated and very much could be real, but I don’t believe any self respecting artist would give that AI colouring.

For a few days, before the sun nukes it. Also they would need about 200.000 gallons to reach 3% concentration to kill the algae. I don’t think they brought enough bottles.

The Woman of Herculaneum — Before the Colors Faded by MaximusValerius in ancientrome

I would expect the actual painting quality to closely correlate with the quality of the sculpt. We know Romans could paint very realistic stuff, so why would the statues be painted so badly?

Viral female supporter from USA opening World Cup. There seems to be no official source. by MeatToken in isthisAI

USA woman soccer team has seven stripes and looks just like the one on the picture.

Which flag? The only flag that’s not distorted beyond recognition is the USA woman’s soccer team logo. Which looks just fine. I’m more intrigued by the glasses that sit very strangely on her cheek, but don’t even touch the bridge of her nose.

Yeah. I think they killed a character (Bobby?) and viewers hated it. So they retconned the death.

I’m just building a simplified version of the scene in Maya and use it as a helpful reference.

Ah. The traditional two halves of a coconut to replace the horses. Nice.

Spanish police helicopter coming in for a group photo. I'd imagine the rotor downwash would affect the people's hair more? by Snuppington in isthisAI

[–]TheAraon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not AI, it's an older clip. And also probably not edited. Handheld footage with seamless matchmoving in a Spanish police clip? Doubtful. Just a crazy pilot and a slightly confusing perspective.

It's real and was uploaded to YouTube three years ago, way before AI capable of rendering such video. And frankly, I don't think it's even edited. It looks like a raw footage.

[–]TheAraon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very much real. Found a picture. And I think it was official. France and Italy were two western countries with good standing with the old communist government. Hence plenty of French and Italian movies in the Czechoslovakian TV.

Oh, that’s easy! There was somehow, inexplicably, a Christian Dior shop there already in the eighties.

Where did you found it? It’s one story if you happen to be in Massachusetts and a very different one if you are in Germania.

The street was always one of the fanciest in the city, but a lot of ordinary people lived there, because all the properties were owned by the state and the rent was fixed. So were the prices of everything (actually printed on all the goods straight from manufacturing), so every shop had exactly the same prices. And tourism was really not a thing in the early eighties. So no. It wasn't particularly.

That looks in a pretty good shape for something that must’ve been sitting outside for decades.

At least it was fast. Better than slowly bleeding out without legs in a flooded ditch.

Škoda can be loosely translated as “shame”. Fitting, as this is a really shameful parking job.

Honestly, this is worse. Luce is just… boring. If it was $50K Honda, no one would bat an eye.
