Lets see:

Straw in the fries container
Chest hair growing thru his shirt
"Cocacola" text on the mug
His hands and those hamburgers
MODLIDANI sign on the wall
The heck is that white hat on that dude on the background

You’ve never heard of the fishing hat that dreamed of being a baseball hat?

exposed chest hair with t-shirt
straw in fries
hat
Smoking inside restaurant

You blame AI, but that's just the 80s.

That's not hair growing through the shirt that's simply a bare chest. AI can paint both shirt and chest just fine, but doesn't understand garments, doesn't understand that if you have t-shirt sleeves you don't have a bare chest. Could happen with a dress shirt but then the collar is missing: It's denim-on-skin in the chest and neck area which the AI can easily make consistent because it's continuous, then shirt-and-denim on the shoulders, which also makes sense. It's the combination that doesn't.

First thing to look for is the hands

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

But they look normal? People keep saying that, but except the weird position which it's a picture which it could have caught you in a weird position and that's it. Like we only see 4 finger on one hand but the thumb could be bended and not visible from the angle.

If you zoom yeah...one finger seems to end up converting to burger but that requires quite a deep look.

But maybe I am missing something.

The person at the table to his right is also topless.

White hat dude is definitely a demon attempting to blend into public for the first time, look at those eyes.
