10 billion costumes in 9 days?
How about 3 costumes plus one layover stop to the I.S.S to pickup their one ape suite for the Artemis crew to recreate this moment...
20 years ago: AI will change the world for the better!
now: LOL look at this meme i made with AI
Cyberpunk authors had AI pegged as a negative all the way back in the 80's.
The 80s ended 35 years ago. They didn't have no Data or wall-e and no good Terminator who was protecting John Connor
They had Data in the '80s. Star Trek TNG started in 1987.
Of course, they also had Lore. (And Moriarty, for that matter.)
I don't care, I'm an ignorant millennial. And also from east Germany where we only got all this from 1990 on lol
What exactly makes this stand out as AI to you, and not just cosplay?
I can't really find any of the telltale signs of AI. The books on the shelf all look fine, the mirror on the left edge looks perfect and I can't find anything immediately noticeable on the costume.
If this is AI, I think it's probably just the face, maybe the whole person, but certainly not the whole picture. But maybe I missed something, please let me know.
First thing that stands out is the lighting. He appears to be lit by a studio soft box but the rest of the room isn't. A lot of AI "photos" do this.
Second is the texture of the face has a plasticky appearance of AI smoothing. His eyes are also blurry in a way that doesn't make sense with the wide depth of field in the image.
It is otherwise pretty convincing. Its possible that its simply been run through some sort of AI enhancement filter, rather than being completely generated. Possibly an original selfie that someone prompted to generate an ape costume onto.
Probably just a photo edit with Gemini. Leaves the background intact, just edits the person. Much harder to find problems with these.
Logic rule - apply logic to anything in the picture.
My best ai telltale is doing a maximum zoom-in on anything. Ai dedicates all its processing power on the front subject (the prompted thing) and little to everything else... it can do individual hairs\face wrinkles\teeth\fingers\fingernails... but I cannot definitively identify any object that's going on on the background shelves.
It's 2026, low resolution or bad jpeg compression artifacts at any zoomed level isn't necessary, or is unnecessarily blurred.
Look at the shadows of the right curtain, the bookshelf, and the bottles on top of the bookshelf.
And tell me where the lights are.
Also, name all objects on the top 3 bookshelves, and what lays on top of the magazines on the table.
And who the fuck has a full size mirror in the living room to watch themselves while they sit on their couch?
The shadows look fine to me. There’s a floor lamp visible at the right edge. The curtains are close to, and higher than that floor lamp, so the shadow goes up the wall and away from the lamp. The bookcase is further away and close to the same height as the lamp, so the softer shadow goes up only slightly. The “bottles” on top are close to the wall and therefore cast a soft shadow to the back wall from whatever unseen light source is lighting the subject from the front.
Totally agree about the identity of the objects on the shelves and the existence/placement of the mirror, though. It probably is AI, but I’m actually more impressed by the consistency of the shadows.
i honestly dont think any sane human being had family pictures stalled out like that on multiple tables
Oh, I didn’t make it, I’m too lazy for that. I stole it off of Facebook.
sorry, i didn't mean to imply that you "made" it, i only meant to shit on AI posts in general
Ahh, gotcha. (I just thought the joke was funny.)
yes, it's funny
Well that's good, then. Stealing art is only bad when AI does it.
May I ask what makes you think this is an AI image? I've looked pretty closely for all the usual telltale signs, and it just looks like a picture of some really good cosplay as far as I can tell.
the belt is impossible--look at the buckle and how the belt feeds into it. also look at the right "suspender" which apparently serves no purpose other than to hold up his beer gut (and the buckle also makes no sense). also look at the amorphous mess on the second from top bookshelf--wtf even is a single item on there? also look at the shadow cast by the curtains-- doesn't match the curtains. also look at the rug-- the patterns don't make sense, same as the patterns on the upholstery. also, the mirror itself-- how many reverse bevel mirrors have you ever seen? speaking of curtains, it's weird to me that the top of the curtains are flush with the curtain rod, because usually the very top of a curtain will extend above the rod.
i could be wrong about every single one of those things, but i'm betting it's AI slop
I find the belt buckle situation convincing.
No, you have a keen eye. I didn't notice that it's AI, but you're right.
Especially the shadows don't match the light at all.
The bottles on top of the bookshelf throw shadows to the right, but for that there would have to be a light much stronger than the visible one just off the left edge of the pic. But a light there would erase the shadow left of the bookshelf completely.
I call Dr. Zaius.
“Can I play the piano?”
Oh my got I was wrong! I was on earth all along..
Of course you can!
There are 2.5 million ants per human.
This ain't the Planet of the Apes, it ain't even the Planet of the Humans; we live on the Planet of the Ants.
The humble bacteria:
Planet of the Apes is a film. Or two.
what do you mean see they are tiny.
i'm on team fungus, team anteater and team crab anyways
OMG DUDES WE SHOULD ALL GET CRAB COSTUMES AND TELL THEM WE CARCINIZED WHILE THEY WERE GONE they missed the rapture or something
dammit stop talking to yourself who did you mean to send this to anyways
Incomprehensibly more.
I was just trying to keep to complex multi-celled and non-microbial life for the sake of familiarity 😁
Really, all they'd have to do is dress everyone in the recovery ship up to get a decent reaction.
A stop by the I.S.S to pickup their one ape suite would help that.
plot twist, when they arrive, they are apes as well - initially we think they are in on the joke, until they proceed eating peoples faces and going complete apeshit
Return to monke 🐒🐒
leave society, return a monkey
until they proceed eating peoples faces and going complete apeshit
Gotta commit to the bit!
You only need disguises for the people who they meet when they return.
Can't chance them accidentally running into someone unexpected.
I know it’s AI, but holy god what an ugly rug couch combo
the AI assumed that a planet of the apes fan would naturally also have an excessive number of framed photos and doilies on their end tables. because that's how old people do
I used to own that exact rug. It really tied the room together, but yeah I don't know about the couch.
Holy fuck, they got me. I thought the photo was real. Because I was impressed by the costume. 🥲
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 YES!!!! OMG DO IT!!!
