      This really gets old. Under every fucking picture someone smells GenAI. This paranoid mindset doesn’t help anyone because even if it is generated - would it change anything about this specific picture of a laminated piece of paper with some text on it?

      I see what you see, but I’m pretty sure its legit. I’ve recently discovered Android phones, at least the Pixel line, seem to run images through an upscaler.

      I have photos that I’ve taken and archived off the device years before the whole AI thing started, and they carry artifacting that is indistinguishable to that found in a generated image.

      I guess the training data has a lot of these types of artifacts, and that’s why it pops up in the images. If I ever have to prove something I have isn’t generated, I’m screwed.

        Look I’m not going to list out reasons for that, because I have a bit more faith in humanity than that. I just said it was AI, because to me it looks like it is.

        What’s the hole doing on the top of the paper? What is it attached to? Letters look funky. What’s in the background?
