          I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

          Yeah, 3 out of 4 AI generated fodder and the 4th is using some weird downscale that manages to also give off AI vibes… I can understand the impression myself…

            Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.

              Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.

                  Guys, you’re thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It’s not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they’ve just been JPEGed into oblivion

                    Yeah but I have JPEG’d a photo a lot and never seen the text get that swirly. It feels purposeful.

                    But, never ascribe malice when the more likely answer is stupidity. You are probably right.

      Absurd fake crunch? Dude the bed is meant to support the weight you aren’t supposed to put a pallet on the bare aluminum frame like that. It’s exactly how it crunches when people put heavy things across the top of their bed like that.
      Trucks aren’t magical. They still have limits.

        I think it was more how weird the downscale looked for that one, along with being posted next to AI generated ones.

          I still wonder if it was purposefully done to make them look AI generated cause I have compressed photos to 144p and they don’t look that warped and fluid. Like they fed it backwards through an AI generator.

          P.S. pretty sure they are all real. Seen these photos on reddit years ago.

          I have no idea how they managed to make the photo look AI generated with compression and it now has me thinking it’s literally gonna be a style to make real photos look like that, like someone predicted at the start of the AI generated movement.
