I don't get it.
And the cars don't match the young men's outfits.

The Coldplay CEO incident? It has been on every news outlet and social.

How does this confirm it's an AI image please?

Not questioning it, just interested

[–] CausticFlames@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's just a higher quality version of the same image and if you zoom into the license plates and other details you can tell. The extra pixels help

The original could be a real picture but the higher resolution could have been run through AI resampling to make up detail where there was little to no detail before. AI tends to have a really difficult time making sense of things like the legs of those chairs, which look fine to me.

but also the shadows of the cars and the fact that you couldn't park those cars on soft dirt without disrupting the grass or sinking into the ground a little bit, plus the fact that usually grass next to water doesn't look like that unless it's on a golf course

I mean, just because it might not be generative AI doesn’t mean it isn’t photoshopped to hell and back. The height of the camera (as well as the subject) kind of points towards staged rather than a casual photo, so photoshopping something together doesn’t seem out of the question in that context.

On the other hand, gen ai could be trying to mimic a weirdly photoshopped picture but was surprisingly accurate in things it’s usually awful at. Who knows.

4 cars, 3 chairs.

Is this AI?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

one of them had to take the picture?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why isn't there an empty chair then?

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Oh it's definitely AI, but Im head-canoning that the Jeep is owned by the photographer who knows he won't be sitting.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just got a strange sense of deja vu reading this. I always kinda enjoy that.

[–] autriyo@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

So he doesn't get to sit? Or did he take his chair with him?

[–] Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

The fourth car is for the fish.
