An image people won't believe wasn't machine generated in 5 years.

I may have thought it was a fake picture even 20 years ago. That kind of stuff could have come from Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday.

Photo editing and compositing has been around long before photoshop too.

Sure, but since the advent of digital media I wouldn't assume someone went full Stalinian propaganda to fabricate that picture. Though I think I would respect that effort, in a way.

Jokes on you, I don't believe it today

I did it just now lol

In 5 years? Any image that's less than believable and has a minor abnormality is immediately called AI. Any low effort post, AI. The hysteria is upon us already.

Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars.

I want to ride my speeder bike.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was expecting something different.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago

That happened later in a private suite of the Deathstar.

Clearly ai art. Darth Vader isn't real.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Maybe it’s Freddie who’s not real

The comment on that website is chef's kiss:
