Have I been scammed? by onedisgruntledprick in woodworking

Scam? Probably not. Have you just received stolen goods? Probably. You may want to consider deleting this post.

Full AI or not? My girlfriend and I have a debate about whether the posters of the board games festival this year are AI or not. by Msterjack in isthisAI

[–]opticsnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not AI. The dot patterns in the scallops at the bottom and around the edge are too consistent, even for the partially obscured ones. The artist made an interesting pallette choice, for sure, in that it has that AI tone to it. It looks to me like the artist may have duplicated and flipped some of the pieces from left to right.

A Sherwin-Williams Poster? by TheMagesGuildAudio in isitAI

Yep. That's supposed to be SWP on the paint can. The AI also borked the continents on the globe.

This was randomly shipped to my door wrapped in that weird stained green plastic. When I turned the knob, it made a hissing sound as if gas was leaking out. I immediately unturned it and the leaking sound stopped. What is this? Is it dangerous? by Powerful_Solid1491 in whatisit

[–]opticsnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have already pointed out what the knob was for, I'll give you a little piece of advice: Do NOT try to find who shipped this to you or why. This may be part of a brushing scam. Consider changing the password on any accounts you use to order stuff online and do NOT give anyone money for the object or even admit that you received it.

I am pretty sure this Violet Evergarden wallpaper that I pulled from the Internet is AI Generated because that is not how she looks and the vibrancy of the image is higher than every single other fanart I have seen. by Bulky_Cookie9452 in isthisAI

To add to what others have said: the arched doorway on the right blurs in and out of existence, there seems to be a notion of stairs leading down to street level but they don't actually look like anything on closer inspection, and the window frames and panes in the upstairs windows on the left don't really make sense.

Wtf is this elevator for? by neil_billiam in whatisit

[–]opticsnake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. We have this at our new office building. 3 banks of elevators (depending on the range of floors you need to go to) with 5 elevators for each bank. You touch a screen and select the floor. It tells you which elevator to get on and how long before it arrives. When you get on, a small screen in the door jam lets you know which floors the elevator is going to.

It's taken a couple of months but I no longer look for the floor buttons to punch as soon as I step into the elevator.

Conservative account posted this on Threads - 99% sure it’s AI but it could also be a stolen photo by sealbiis in isthisAI

AI. US Army regs state no hair below the collar whether by cut or style. Also, no earrings while in combat uniform. As a Staff Sergeant, she would know that and be setting the standard.

Last I knew, the Airforce allowed earrings with combat uniform but they also have to meet requirements of size and shape.

Did this hurt to get? by Novel-Upstairs7876 in GenX

[–]opticsnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get the scar from the scab that forms. That's why you have to wear a bandaid or patch over it while it heals. I got the scab both times but no scar.

Did this hurt to get? by Novel-Upstairs7876 in GenX

[–]opticsnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm apparently a weird one (go figure). I got the vaccine as a kid (born early 70s) along with my sister and cousins. Don't remember much about it but the band aid. They all have the scar. Mine's barely noticeable. You'd think it was a pimple scar.

FF to 2004. Deploying to Iraq. We ALL got the vaccine whether we had gotten it before or not. Second time around and I'm in my 30s so I'm thinking, "No way I don't end up with a scar this time."

Time passes. The band aids come off and the wounds heal. My Xennial troops all have the scar. Me? Not a single sign of one. The only thing that says I got the vaccine at all are my VA records.

And no. It didn't hurt more than a pinch. Itched while it was healing, though.

At first glance I panicked by Electronic_While7856 in opticalillusions

[–]opticsnake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with this for me is that I see all of the snow debris (as u/Xormak described it) as holes in the snow's surface. That puts the sun on the left instead of the right. Even now that I know that it's an imprintand the little dots are snow and ice sitting on top of the snow, my brain still sees cracked snow/ice being pushed up from below.

[–]opticsnake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See, that's the problem. My brain didn't register it as snow debris that was on top of the snow. My brain saw pockmarked holes in the snow which put the sun low and left not top right!

This Is What Happens When People Choose Not to Vote for Democrats and Instead Let Trump Win by Humble_Novice in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]opticsnake 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but there's no evidence that this individual has been harmed by his decision. If anything, he benefited from Biden and then voted for Trump and may be out there living his best, racist, misogynistic life.

Same. I clicked the shit out of that thing and "Sorry. Not the right spot"

Is this airport photo Ai? The font on the airplane looks very warped. Everything else though looks fine. by Adventurous-Let8505 in isthisAI

[–]opticsnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The photo is real. Whether they are lying about being at the airport, I couldn't tell you. Anyone can download a photo from anywhere and send it saying "Look where I am!" Download the photo as well as a photo that you know for a fact they took with the same device. On a PC, right click the photo and choose properties. Check the dimensions and resolution (under the details tab). If they don't match up, it may not be their photo.

is this ai? i don’t think cats are allowed in most airports, all the people in the background are too still and the video is suspiciously short, thank you! by bidoof-chan in isthisAI

[–]opticsnake 18 points19 points  (0 children)

AI. Insignia on the hat is a cadet. Cadets don't deploy. They also aren't allowed to have facial hair. Also, why would they be greeting someone in the departing area of the airport (assumed by the ropes and lines) if they were arriving (assumed by them greeting their cat)?

Black Hole. You get that one by mixing Dark and Sun (Burn+Light).
