There have been a lot of black and white photos of outlandish inventions and alleged WWII experimental weapons that I had never seen before the advent of AI, and I find that more than just a little... fishy.

every single time I see ai generated garbage I block the posting community. it's helped lol

Same. I did it with all the "moe" communities as well, really cut down the spam when browsing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Those communities are full of child porn

As someone who's 40, and have only seen 2 animes, I have to pat myself on the back for knowing exactly where the source images came from. In retrospect teenage me watched some weird shit.

I mean GTO was (and is still) pretty amazing.

My memory of it was that a 25 year old gang member decided to become a substitute teacher at a high school for the sole purpose of perving on 16 year olds in high school. Somehow he got transfered to being a full time teacher in middle school, and he had to rescue one of his 12 year old students from making underage porn to support her family, despite being very VERY against doing so morally. Then he swoops in to kick everybodies ass for making child porn.

I also remember they had a running gag of doing this creepy smile thing. Everytime anyone did it, I always got creeped out. And somehow NONE of this raised alarms with me as a teenager, but adult me is like "Wow, in retrospect, that show was pretty fucked up."

I mean it definitely couldn’t be made nowadays, but I did think it was kind of interesting because it focused on outcasts and the very real sorts of awful situations people like that might have gotten into that the rest of society just kind of refuses to even acknowledge.

But yeah it is undercut a bit by the whole weird pedo thing Japan still has going on to this day.

In anime, anything goes. That could be made today.

You’re probably right…

I posted this yesterday in LemmyShitpost a grainy AI image of a horse puking in Walmart or some shit

Honest to god thought it was a horse barfing in a convenience store. Then someone pointed out that horses can't puke.

The jpegification and motion blur did a lot of heavy lifting. None of the shit in the background makes any sense. Back legs also look kinda weird.

I kinda had a feeling this one was AI, but it looked so realistic I kinda just shrugged it off.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

In German there is this kinda obscure phrase „Pferde vor der Apotheke kotzen sehen“, which translates to „seeing horses puke in front of the pharmacy“ used to denote something highly unlikely, because horses can’t puke and especially in front of a pharmacy where they could get something against their nausea.

I don't even think the back legs look too weird. One of the things I've found when trying to spot AI is that often actual images look weird like this just because of the angle / compression etc.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ai images are shitposts by nature, they're the least amount of effort you can put into it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

At least it was incredibly fucking funny.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would have assumed it was a simple image edit/photoshop job for meme purposes. That's what it looks to me anyway.

But I'm not going to zoom in too much because, AI or not, fake or not, it's giving me nausea!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I thought it was hay or feed of some form, and the horse gas just yanked it's head up in alarm, leaving an arc of feed in the air.

Looking closer, that would have to be sawdust to be that consistent in texture, and even actual bodily fluids don't leave such a sharp edge on a puddle.

Are those gaspumps in the convenience store?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

How else you gonna fill up your horse?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

I thought maybe a coffee dispenser, or an ATM repeating itself... It could conceivably be anything!

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 month ago

Aw fuck, I have to admit it got me too...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I saw that and didn't know horses can't puke, but thought it was fake but because the parking lot was empty of lights, paint stripes for parking, bollards, etc. it's a vacuum behind the horse.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You mean you've never stopped at a convenience store while traveling through the infinite dark void?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I like the sliding glass door

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

It's just dark

Reality was fun while it lasted.
