Is this AI generated?

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Getting that feeling.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Yup.

How awesome / terrifying is it that this is a question which no longer has a clear answer?

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

I think it might just be old fashioned photo editing.

How does it look AI generated?

I'm legitimately asking

First of all, its way too clean. The picture has this really sharp look, and the blur looks artificial. The hind leg doesn't seen normal for the way you see the rest of the dog. Also, the ring of the dog collar has no imperfections, and the dog looks way to still for it to be living.

Look closely at the crud around the eyes, and the matching reflections. No way this is AI. Blur looks entirely normal for a modern smartphone, focus on the eyes with the nose falling off slightly.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Right? Like I'm pretty sure it's just a brand new collar and it's sitting at a slight angle

For me, the dog has a cartoonish look. The eyes seem too large, the head seems too large, and something seems a little too perfect in general.

I think people just can’t believe that a dog can be that adorable.

It definitely looks it (for me the lighting and the eyes) but I don't think it is. The bag in the bottom right might be puppy's first food bag, and I don't think I've seen many AI photos with just a partial thing like that that still obeys the laws of reality. If it's AI, it's heavily human involved to tweak things until it got perfect.
