Fuck me… I only started looking more closely after your comment and noticed that the room’s proportions are fucked up. But, at a first glance, it looks like a photo from the 90s…
Always from now on, it won’t end. And I think it’s a good example here, as it’s clearly indicated with the watermark. Without it I wouldn’t have been sure, this image is very good quality. My clues were the calendar is too conveniently place at the perfect location, and I tried to figure out which win version is that, and the thickness of the header of the warning dialog seems too thick compared to the taskbar. Then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark
I’m not a luddite, this technology has some good uses, and this is an important step in the good direction that they add a watermark. Next should be an ai notice added to the metadata of the image, so the hosting site could understand it and mark as such, and users can filter it.
Bad actors obviously could remove any kind of watermark or metadata, so this wouldn’t help against them, but as we see how it goes with drm there is no perfect way to make sure the slop can be always marked as such.
The crazy thing about the calendar is that it’s right. A year ago, I wouldn’t have even expected an AI generated image to get the correct number of days in a week, but not only does it get that right, but it correctly shows that March has 31 days and that March 1999 started on a Monday.
The placement isn’t that much of a giveaway either. Five or ten years before this hypothetical photo, that desk would have been just a desk, which is exactly where you’d have put a calendar. Old habits die hard, and I definitely knew people who still hung calendars next to their computer desk.
It’s only going to continue to get harder to tell.
Given that she’s holding what is the second most booty-ass rendition of what’s apparently supposed to be a Beretta Model 92 I’ve seen in my life, AI generation seems to be a fair assessment.
Edit: And the shadow on it makes no sense. Never mind the watermark in the corner.
Edit edit: And March 1998 began on a Sunday. The more you look the worse it all gets.
This is the most 90s image I have seen in a long time.
Good job clanker, another human fooled successfully. See the watermark in the bottom right.

They even got the shadow on the wall from the camera flash…
Edit: also, the computer instructed to make this image was probably like “Hmmm. Mental note”
I wanna cry man, I wanna cry. HOW LONG do i have to ask myself “Is this AI?” whenever I see an image on internet?
Forever. I’m sorry.

Define “clearly” 😅 it took a while for you and I to notice the watermark and over half the commenters still believe this is a real image.
It’s a new thing, my eyes haven’t got used to it yet. I see more ai images without any watermark than with one.
March 1999, based on the wall calendar
98?
Looks more like 1958 to me, the whole thing is a blur. Doesn’t seem like a compression thing, more like AI generation.

i love this deep dive lol
It also has the AI watermark in the bottom right corner. This one doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to pinpoint.

I think it says 1998.
I read 1958, but it could just be blurry
I initially thought 1998, but March 1 wasn’t on Monday that year.
