        I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

        Yeah, 3 out of 4 AI generated fodder and the 4th is using some weird downscale that manages to also give off AI vibes… I can understand the impression myself…

          Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.

            Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.

                Guys, you’re thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It’s not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they’ve just been JPEGed into oblivion

                  Yeah but I have JPEG’d a photo a lot and never seen the text get that swirly. It feels purposeful.

                  But, never ascribe malice when the more likely answer is stupidity. You are probably right.
