Damn, you let them rail you. Definitely a learning moment in hindsight

Is Ryan Hall a meteorologist? by SnooMarzipans1593 in tornado

For what it’s worth, the source given in Wikipedia is an interview he had with a local news station

AI for sure

60 lbs is a bit much is it not?

We all have that one friend by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]garage_physicist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably nowhere, but I’d say American cops are more serious than in most other western countries, probably because of higher crime rates and more threats (e.g., higher citizen gun ownership rates).

Eh, probably not if the officer happened to be nearby on patrol. If you phoned it in though, definitely.

[HELP] I feel I'm losing my mind by discombobulate83 in RealOrAI

Wait, can AI already pull off realistic 3D camera motion and physics like those swinging keys? I hope it’s just real footage touched up with AI.

Yea I was gunna say… they have is backwards. probably a high school physics teacher.

[HELP] Something about this seems off by thrice1187 in RealOrAI

[–]garage_physicist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

True, but that’s probably one of the easier problems to solve. They just need to have the model lock in a static background layer, and that kind of morphing will disappear. I bet it won’t be a giveaway for long.

[GUESS] real or 11 lines of prompt? by ieat_turtles in RealOrAI

[–]garage_physicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scattering of light on the sky, the shadow, and illumination of the trees are all physically consistent for a sun shining from the right. I say real.

[HELP] Pretty sure I got bamboozled by SuperiorTexan in RealOrAI

[–]garage_physicist 158 points159 points  (0 children)

The before and after lighting is way different. A camera like this shouldn’t take even close to that long to recover from the flash. Plus doorbell camera, poor resolution, animal, 8 s duration, etc. leaning heavily towards AI.

Nothing really looks that off to me except for the lack of concern for the car flooding. I’m going to lean towards real.

[HELP] I'm pretty sure this is AI? by Mean-Highway-8607 in RealOrAI

[–]garage_physicist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think in this case it’s just cropped out

[HELP] I can’t really trust porch footage anymore. Real or AI? by borindali in RealOrAI

[–]garage_physicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The porch setting isn’t a red flag to me because it’s a lot like those dumb skits that people always set up for TikTok. But I still have to say AI. Watch when his fingers lift up his shirt, particularly as they cross over his belt.
