      Funnily enough, I saw this meme earlier, and thought it was an AI rendering of the world’s fastest manhole cover. Then I scrolled Lemmy, and here I am.

      Did you ask a fucking AI to help you put text on this, or why is it so grainy?

        First they came for the artists, then they came for the guys that put text on images.

        No one’s ever made a photo grainy before, it had to be artificial intelligence!

          Sure.

          Anyway, here’s how the pictures compare in any image editor (the darker the more identical the pixel):

          Notice that I lined the UFO up, but the skyline is now all out of whack, which seems to be a lot of work to give to oneself if all you wanted to do was add 4 words. Similarly, I can line up parts of the skyline, but now the UFO is at the wrong place:

          In conclusion: I am pretty sure it was done with AI.

            Upvoted for getting your hands dirty with the analysis. The grain doesn’t mean anything imo but yeah that alignment is fishy

            I feel like it’s more likely the creator just moved the UFO for some reason, since lining the skylines puts just the UFO out of place.

              You cannot align the cranes left of the explosion AND the warehouse to the right AND the smokestacks at the far right either, they, or rather it, moved random parts of the skyline around.

                So we’re either looking at

                1. Somebody photoshopped the composition of the original image
                2. The original image was fake and the person adding the text messed with the placement of the layers when adding text.
                3. chatgpt add the following words to the bottom of this image and make it look more like the “I want to believe” poster from x-files

                Both Occam’s and Hanlon’s razors clearly point to option 3

        Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes. It is very clearly created by AI with the actual image as an input.
