What exactly makes this stand out as AI to you, and not just cosplay?
I can't really find any of the telltale signs of AI. The books on the shelf all look fine, the mirror on the left edge looks perfect and I can't find anything immediately noticeable on the costume.
If this is AI, I think it's probably just the face, maybe the whole person, but certainly not the whole picture. But maybe I missed something, please let me know.
First thing that stands out is the lighting. He appears to be lit by a studio soft box but the rest of the room isn't. A lot of AI "photos" do this.
Second is the texture of the face has a plasticky appearance of AI smoothing. His eyes are also blurry in a way that doesn't make sense with the wide depth of field in the image.
It is otherwise pretty convincing. Its possible that its simply been run through some sort of AI enhancement filter, rather than being completely generated. Possibly an original selfie that someone prompted to generate an ape costume onto.
Logic rule - apply logic to anything in the picture.
My best ai telltale is doing a maximum zoom-in on anything. Ai dedicates all its processing power on the front subject (the prompted thing) and little to everything else... it can do individual hairs\face wrinkles\teeth\fingers\fingernails... but I cannot definitively identify any object that's going on on the background shelves.
It's 2026, low resolution or bad jpeg compression artifacts at any zoomed level isn't necessary, or is unnecessarily blurred.
Look at the shadows of the right curtain, the bookshelf, and the bottles on top of the bookshelf.
And tell me where the lights are.
Also, name all objects on the top 3 bookshelves, and what lays on top of the magazines on the table.
And who the fuck has a full size mirror in the living room to watch themselves while they sit on their couch?
The shadows look fine to me. There’s a floor lamp visible at the right edge. The curtains are close to, and higher than that floor lamp, so the shadow goes up the wall and away from the lamp. The bookcase is further away and close to the same height as the lamp, so the softer shadow goes up only slightly. The “bottles” on top are close to the wall and therefore cast a soft shadow to the back wall from whatever unseen light source is lighting the subject from the front.
Totally agree about the identity of the objects on the shelves and the existence/placement of the mirror, though. It probably is AI, but I’m actually more impressed by the consistency of the shadows.
May I ask what makes you think this is an AI image? I've looked pretty closely for all the usual telltale signs, and it just looks like a picture of some really good cosplay as far as I can tell.
No, you have a keen eye. I didn't notice that it's AI, but you're right.
Especially the shadows don't match the light at all.
The bottles on top of the bookshelf throw shadows to the right, but for that there would have to be a light much stronger than the visible one just off the left edge of the pic. But a light there would erase the shadow left of the bookshelf completely.
plot twist, when they arrive, they are apes as well - initially we think they are in on the joke, until they proceed eating peoples faces and going complete apeshit
10 billion costumes in 9 days?
How about 3 costumes plus one layover stop to the I.S.S to pickup their one ape suite for the Artemis crew to recreate this moment...

Cyberpunk authors had AI pegged as a negative all the way back in the 80's.

The 80s ended 35 years ago. They didn't have no Data or wall-e and no good Terminator who was protecting John Connor
grue@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 144d
They had Data in the '80s. Star Trek TNG started in 1987.
Of course, they also had Lore. (And Moriarty, for that matter.)

Probably just a photo edit with Gemini. Leaves the background intact, just edits the person. Much harder to find problems with these.

A stop by the I.S.S to pickup their one ape suite would help that.
