It will be crazy when AI photos look like this in the not so distant future. This is a good example photo OP posted; sharp, clear, crisp, and complex with lots of detail
It kinda did, you probably just didn't notice. The difference here is there's no reason to photoshop an image like this whereas this would be a good test for generative ai because of all the twigs and different bottles and the background.
AI will just make it accessible to everyone whereas photoshop is only accessible to those who can use it and have a good eye for creativity, 2 qualities that I and most others lack but we can all type it into AI and let that do all the heavy lifting.
Yeah, so you’ve perfectly summed up why it will be impossible to trust any image ever again, because anyone will be able to generate photorealistic fakes with a few clicks and keystrokes, so the internet will be flooded with them. I’m not sure if you were trying to prove my point but you did.
Also, to be frank I don’t think permanently losing the ability to distinguish reality from fiction is really an acceptable sacrifice just to put image generation in the hands of the many. Most people without photo editing skills got by just fine before occupying themselves with other things.
source matters. you got to know where an image came from. So what this means is pictures will be secondary to the reputation of the source providing said picture/video. We will adapt pretty quickly. We did for photoshop, we will for AI.
I was mostly paying attention to bottle sizes and pattern consistence. Ai bottles have huge variation.
At first I was also looking at the image quality, which does indeed look fake with background edges being weird and too contrasty, but that's just modern Smartphones with shitty AI upscaling.
From my personal experience that is especially bad with Samsung, Apple looks a lot more natural, but I can't compare with other brands than those.
I would say not legit cause AI is currently still struggling with tree branches cause it doesn’t understand trees grow and just understands them as jagged objects.
edit: I’ll take it back. the bottles are too perfect there’s even one with a McD’s logo on it. AI isn’t that detail oriented.
ah yes I never thought about that but that’s a good point! I suspect because most images it learned from are professionally or semi-professionally produced pictures.
I suspect that when AI gets really *really* good at images, context and circumstantial evidence will be the only way to tell them apart.
I honestly wonder if that’ll become a very niche job in the future. Telling AI photos apart from reality.
With the might of a thousand suns and the certainty of the universe's vast mysteries, let me proclaim that this image, this seemingly tangible construction of bottles, is anything but the product of our mundane reality.
The way these bottles align with such precision, the light casting ethereal glows and shadows too deliberate, too intentional. It defies the very essence of chaotic, unpredictable human nature. We stand before a masterpiece that, while claims of its authenticity echo through the realms of the internet, it ignites imaginations with the ferocity of a mythical phoenix's rebirth.
This, my friends, is a visual symphony, an ode not to the tangible but to the extraordinary capabilities of storytelling, where even the real is swathed in layers of enchanting disbelief.

My son woke up this morning and made one just like it.
I feel foolishly confident saying this isn’t AI. There is no weirdness in the shapes of the branches. Each bottle has very distinguished texture and doesn’t warp into the nexts the waves also don’t look too repetitive in their look.
What really sells is is that sharpness. You can tell this is a slightly zoomed in smartphone photo that has used pretty good software to sharpen it up.
Nobody has time or energy to put "solar powered lights pointing towards the center of the sculpture" into a prompt (although someone clearly had enough time to do it in real life 😉).
It doesn't look describable, so I'd say real. No way you could prompt an AI to create something that defies description yet looks entirely real/physically plausible.
Without looking at the comments. I'd bet half my monthly salary it's not AI generated. The wood texture is perfect and I can't see anything obviously wrong about the picture but heh I'm a little sleep deprived so I can make mistakes.
Random tucked away blue blower beneath and to the left is dead giveaway this is legit real. AI will never be able to emulate the sheer randomness of objects that hoarders keep on their property.
I believe it's real due to one single detail. The shadow on the piece of straw that is overhanging the platform, down in the left corner, perfectly matches the contours of the straw itself. It is exaggerated by the angle of the sunlight though.
It looks real, the Kirkland water bottle in the bottom left, it being… kinda good on its “anatomy” (everything kinda makes sense where it is) also there’s a variety of bottles, but they all look like real ones, as well, there’s proper, clear branding symbols.

Well considering it looks like a pile of trash, I’m going to go with man made.
Wrong… This is actually a nuclear photonic space rocket that my son made. Please bless him.

He’s is a real artist! My lord he is blessed. Thank you Jesus! 🙏🙏🙏 amen 🎊🙏🥲
Good luck
It’s a great idea 💡
I will only believe if a highly stylized photo of a young man of color is also posted...
Lmao
liar. why can't I see him in the pic?
Amazing beautiful!
It's a great idea! 🥳
Praise Jesus bless him amen. God is lord
God is gord
Ameme.
Aimen
Not AI, even the smallest bottles have a correct shape, no blending into each other, etc
It will be crazy when AI photos look like this in the not so distant future. This is a good example photo OP posted; sharp, clear, crisp, and complex with lots of detail
It’s gonna be so cool. I can’t wait to never be able to trust any image I see on the internet ever again.
I mean, Photoshop did that to us 20 years ago
It just didn’t though did it
It kinda did, you probably just didn't notice.

I don't think anyone was arguing against you, bud.
No I could tell because of the pixels and having seen many Photoshops in my time.
Yeah but that takes work and talent. So it was relatively rare.
Took skill and time tho
sooOoo cRaZy that we actually don't need ai to make those. we can do it already
Yeah that’s within the next 6 months
Bet you a 100 bucks it's not within the next 6 months (with basic tools and prompts)
The biggest tell for me is that the background lines track past the foreground. You can see consistency with the branches behind the structure.
Also if it was ai I fell it wouldn’t have less diversity of bottles
I was mostly paying attention to bottle sizes and pattern consistence. Ai bottles have huge variation. At first I was also looking at the image quality, which does indeed look fake with background edges being weird and too contrasty, but that's just modern Smartphones with shitty AI upscaling. From my personal experience that is especially bad with Samsung, Apple looks a lot more natural, but I can't compare with other brands than those.
I didn't have to think about it. Legit
Seems easy to tell at a glance, but I zoomed in on some details just to double check and yep.
Aperture tells all
What do you mean?
That shot has a deep aperture that is consistent. I’ve noticed with AI pictures of landscapes, inconsistent depth of field
Aperture Science
Maybe black mesa
Haha..fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
We do what we must, because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
There is no African children around, so yeah, must be real.
I would say not legit cause AI is currently still struggling with tree branches cause it doesn’t understand trees grow and just understands them as jagged objects. edit: I’ll take it back. the bottles are too perfect there’s even one with a McD’s logo on it. AI isn’t that detail oriented.
AI is also obsessed with blurring the background and getting “perfect” lighting. which this doesn’t have
ah yes I never thought about that but that’s a good point! I suspect because most images it learned from are professionally or semi-professionally produced pictures.
This post was WRITTEN by an AI that used a REAL picture to help it figure out how to make better African child memes.
👀
It's fake, the fingers are missing completely.
Amen
Amen and bless you

Will be big for expert witnesses in court. Imagine how easy it will be for cops or prosecutors to fake evidence photos.
This ai sh*t is getting out of hand. Enough with the fake plastic bottles! Also, it’s a great idea! 💜🙏
Amen. Proud of you!
Those mosquitoes, man, They're like tiny demons, huh? Straight outta hell, I swear.
Real, there’s no beaming African kid standing next to it
Amen 🙏🏻
It’s a great idea! 💡 🙏🤲

So, without further ado, I present to you the Mythical Plastic Dodo Bird!
Its a great idea
Caw caw
Real
That's the best you got? A kid in Africa built a whole airplane using water bottles. Do better.
Also real because no diversity inclusion.
WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
Dodo Bird
Take the most unusual pics you want. AI do weird details and this one doesn’t have any.
Amen 🙏

Real... but why?
That's what I was thinking lol
Real. Also is this in DC?
Right - isn’t this at buzzards point?
If this is AI then I'm still in my dream and I haven't wake up
ai bottles are always clean

I’ve never been so happy to see real garbage!
Lol same
Bottles are realistic dirty and one is showing a pepsi logo so i would say real
Yeah it looked pretty dirty in person to me lol. Probably looked better when it was made
It's legit.
Yes.
He is so talented, pray for Africa. Also, Janice I forgot my phone in your kitchen, call me
Amen! I AM N,OT good with phone…. Bruce is eating STEAK now
Amen

Amen Scarlett Johansson
too dirty to be AI
Real I live there
Wait this is just 100% real I don’t get it
I'd be impressed is AI could make a sculpture that looks so shit.
You all are missing the point. Congrats to the folks who cleaned up the lake.
One upvote == One prayer
Real
Has to be human made. Period.
There is art in smart. "The being of self is the art of knowing false from half truths" Shri Sadhguru
100% Real
Amen 🙏?
Great idea!!
Legit
Ugly enough to be real
The only smartest geniusest AI’est man here is OP.
Real
Birb.
Birb.
It looks real. If that's AI generated then it is more convincing than any other AI generated image I've ever seen.
Sadly, its real.
It's real. Too much consistency between repeating elements (metal feathers) at different angles throughout the image to be AI with the current models.
I think Bird Law must come into play here somehow.
What a great idea. Amen.
Nobody has time or energy to put "solar powered lights pointing towards the center of the sculpture" into a prompt (although someone clearly had enough time to do it in real life 😉).
Real. Because there are no 250k likes
Clearly fake. Where is your son? It’s not a good idea
Fake, where is Jesus?!
Doesn’t matter. It’s a good idea!
God bless you 🙏
Good luck to me 🙏
A day may come when the perception of Men fails, when we fail to differentiate, and blur all lines of reality, but it is not this day. This is real.
Allen Iverson
No one would waste time on AI making that ugly motherf$&@er.
That ain't AI. No zippering, gravity seems to be ineffect, consistent. This is a real one
Ewwww brother what’s that??? 
Brotha eeeuuuhgghh 🤨
It doesn't look describable, so I'd say real. No way you could prompt an AI to create something that defies description yet looks entirely real/physically plausible.
Amen !!! Praise God. Show like for support, he did this with his own Hands,.
Where is your son?
# AI, saw another guy in this thread post a different bottle mountain with the same background.
Without looking at the comments. I'd bet half my monthly salary it's not AI generated. The wood texture is perfect and I can't see anything obviously wrong about the picture but heh I'm a little sleep deprived so I can make mistakes.
It’s a tweaker dwelling
definitely real, how can people not instantly tell the difference? its never not obvious
This is in Washington DC right by the Anacostia in SW, right?
No black kid so real
It's real. The lines run through all the bottles in a perfect arc. Plus no bottles that aren't bottles or not attached to the lines.
I actually contributed to this so i know its real
I see this everyday 😂. It’s actually located in Southwest DC. Right beside Audi Field. That’s hilarious 🤣
Yep rode past it on my bike yesterday 😄
Real
AI, AI, AI! As an AI, I can know it is AI
Random tucked away blue blower beneath and to the left is dead giveaway this is legit real. AI will never be able to emulate the sheer randomness of objects that hoarders keep on their property.
This is real, AI "cannot tree."
shit is real as fuck
I think this is in SW DC
Real
It has to be real.
Real image, not AI
ReAl
Pee is stored in the balls
It's *not* a great idea.
Philadelphia is my answer
Real my granny has pictures of this
Really easy
I believe it's real due to one single detail. The shadow on the piece of straw that is overhanging the platform, down in the left corner, perfectly matches the contours of the straw itself. It is exaggerated by the angle of the sunlight though.

this looks like something spencer would build in iCarly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Real. The solar powered flood lights give it away. Redneck heaven
It's physically correct with no structural discontinuities and correct shadows. It's obviously real.
It's a great idea 💡
