Well that sucks. Thanks for the info though! permalink fedilink source parent [–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago Now knowing for sure that this is AI, as I can see the evidence myself, it makes me think about other ways that I could have known, even if AI didn't leave telltale artifacts. In my imagination, if the Soviets did design a vehicle in this range, it would be boxier and have fewer or different windows. Like, at the very least, the roof wouldn't taper down towards the back. For a vehicle of this type, you probably want more horizontal surfaces. The ease of construction and consistency of materials would probably be more important than any aerodynamic efficiency. Or aesthetics, if you can even use that word when talking about a cyber truck shape. Other AI sorts of artifacts I noticed are a complete lack of door handles, and the fact that not only is the vehicle needlessly very dirty, but the room is needlessly quite clean. You'd think that they'd want to clean it up if it was being presented like this, and that if it was dirty, some of the dirt would get on the ground. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago I was typing the same thing out but my client refreshed and I lost my work.
