This photo is currently the top post in the r/pics community on Reddit, with close to 50k upvotes.
I have my suspicions about the photo and wanted other people's opinions about it.
Is this AI?
I looked at Lorenzo for a long time, because I felt something avout him was unusual. I finally realized that his ears are not visible/maybe he doesn't have any which surprised me due to his short hair. Likely the reason why the posters feel off.
The rest of the photo looks quite real to me, with the cigarette buds, grunge etc.
It would probably be easier to Photoshop this than to AI generate it and get all the posters looking right.
Are we concerned that the image is AI or that the content of the posters is not real? As others have said, the image doesn't have the usual tells of AI, but also there are plenty of articles that confirm the content of the posters. Lorenzo was indeed murdered by ICE and was a father of 3. Who was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, through the words of his son
The printing on each poster looks the same, and you can see the wrinkles from pasting it are all different. It does not appear to be AI.
AI would either mess up the text and pictures, or make the defects all the same. In this case, the things that should be the same are all the same, and the things that should be different are all different.
I don't see any obvious tells, but why do you ask?
Just a feeling.
Almost certainly not. Way too much detail and missing all of the obvious tells.
