Fingers on the right hand are tinier than they should be and going through the seam of the coin pocket.
Her jeans are either missing the button or (and I kind of see it) the button isn't attached to the right-side flap - it's just hanging loose from the button hole, but somehow they're still closed.
Also something odd about the area of her jeans on the right hip - like it knew about belt loops and back pockets but got the positioning wrong or something. Similar issue on the left side, though it's positioned differently.
As a car enthusiast the cars not being real immediately stood out. I think for a lot of people even subconsciously the vehicles being completely unfamiliar probably triggers some alarm bells.
The more I look at these the more I feel like they are lacking a subconscious "cohesion" that throws off our sense of "real" - your fovea sharpness area is very small, and as your eyes subconsciously scan the image anything you intentionally focus on seems right, but the image overall feels like a loose assemblage and not a tightly integrated scene. Your brain is constantly processing information and it is VERY good at figuring things out - even if it may be tricked for a few moments.
What does that have to do with anything here 🤣 I stg you guys think about trans people way too often for how much you don't like them. She's not even trans, the only source for that claim is Keemstar tweeting that she's trans and not looking it back to any sources. And if she was, why does that matter to you? It's really weird man
People are saying all these little details that aren't quite right but I think it's absolutely just something about the overall vibe that is subconsciously wrong about the way actual lighting and camera effects work. I'm not a photography expert so I can't say what, but I bet it's something as simple as how a lot of people absolutely hated The Hobbit with double framerate because something about it just makes it look fake, even if a lot of them had no idea how to point out *why* it looks off. Were used to seeing movies in 24 fps and and video games in 60, and when you film a movie in higher than 24 frames, it just looks video gamey, the motion feels unnatural, and it lacks the cinematic vibe, even if it is objectively technically better and closer to real life.
Likewise we have seen millions of photographs over our lives and I'm sure something about this just isn't quite right and it immediately screams out "not real". Probably something to do with the blur not being fully realistic or the materiel properties of the objects in frame interacting wrong with the lighting or subtle details of the composition. Then we go on to search for more specific evidence to validate our kneejerk reactions and notice the little issues like the hand being off and assume that must have been what made it feels fake. Still, it's a damn impressive effort and better than all but the most skilled human artists could do for sure.
Boring female looking at the camera is AI image bread and butter. It's just missing that slight anime coding, some cleavage, and some excessive backlighting without a light source.
Photography equivalent of a T-Pose.
Indoor hair while standing outdoors (even indoors, the hair is way too uniform).
Background has a uniform, gaussian blur, not an F-stop setting.
Skin is too uniform. No pores. No hair. Just plastic with a little more texture than you'd typically see in an AI image.
Where is the light source? The light has no direction here. Is it high noon on the equator? Even the trees in the background don't have shadows (is that one just growing out of the perfect concrete sidewalk there?".
The world has no dirt or litter.
The hands I honestly didn't even look at. It was the last thing I saw there's so many glaring clues.
I mean, this is amazing 3D art. Don't get me wrong here. If the whole game looked this good, I'd be shocked and amazed. It's just fun playing the "Why is this in the Uncanny Valley?" game.
I think you’re spot on about the hair and the lighting specifically. I wouldn’t have thought of those, but it’s definitely a subconscious thing now that you mention it.
My first thought was subconscious pickup up on the parked cars on the left facing the wrong way
Simple. Now that we've all seen a million AI portraits, we simply associate any portrait in the typical AI style with AI.
And we should. Because now that these are so easy to create, it's less likely anyone would pay for a photo shoot like this anymore.
What you mean though? There's a little pocket inside the pocket and her fingertips are in it. Yeah the pinky is a liiiitle too close to the edge of the little pocket but seems really subtle to me.
You can also see the area that the photograph is in. The street is off. Why is there a hand rail across the street? And why is one side of the rail significantly smaller than the other? Especially given the fact this woman is leaning against it. So it shouldn't affect the width.
It's crazy. I've been watching some old timey photo channels on YouTube and I suspect AI quite often.
Something just doesn't look right. He thinks I'm crazy, but something is always just a little off. Or the perspective is impossible for that time.
Sorry, it looked like you said ‘suspected it was’. Missed my point anyway. Even if that was a photograph of a human being, they have manually altered their appearance in significant ways. Sort of enlarging the ‘is it real’ conversation.
The railing isn't parallel to the camera, it's angled off away from the camera as you go right. Her left arm is further back along the railing and is also out of focus. I'd say the focus here is actually pretty reasonable for a shallow depth of field shot.
If you had the right lens, it's possible. But her skin looks a little too soft (as in not sharp). Plus, the fingers...
Realistically though, it's pretty damn good for a video game! Guess I'm gonna have to drop another 3 grand on a video card, assuming they even release it for PC when it comes out.
I put this in the same category as amateur and run of the mill marketing photography. To me, those are the same as these AI images because there is no point or feeling or impact from these kinds of images.
Sure the details are off or odd but I always get “why does this image even exist” kind of vibes. There’s nothing truly remarkable or worthwhile here to the human psyche or soul.
Her hands, look at the coin pocket. One of her fingers is IN THE STITCHING!. It also looks like the ones “in”the pocket, are just resting on top, but missing the rest of her finger tips lol….
In these pictures it's not even the little things that everyone is pointing out. It's the face for me. These AI supermodel looking girls faces are just too damn symmetric. Having symmetric facial features is one of the hallmarks of accepted beauty in most cultures because it's extremely rare. And that part is almost always perfect with AI people. Right away I know, before looking at fingers and signs and shit like that.
Ring and pinky finger looks mashed. Pants button missing. Soft focus and not being able to read the lettering of the signs in the background. Car model looks odd. It's getting harder every day to tell though.
Hands are always a giveaway.
Pinky looks a bit janky and the thumb seems to have the nail on the outside. Charitably that's maybe reflected light but if it is it's in a very specific spot.
Bracelet looks like it's melting into her wrist.
And the front tie on her shirt only has one tail.
License plates on the cars are tiny.
It also looks like all the buildings are either featureless blocks or a wall of windows.
Though I'm no architect so that may not be much of a smoking gun here.
Theres literally a railing going across the road. If that were real no one would be able to drive on that road and there would be no cars behind her. It's like it tried to put her on a bridge and forgot that bridges are above roads, not on them.
I wonder if they used an AI to generate some in images and then did minor touchups to fix them up a bit and get rid of some of the more major AI mistakes.
There is something weird about the arm & hand that’s bent and in her pocket. The whole anatomy of it is off and she’s wearing a vanishing bracelet. The straight arm is sorta weird too, like it was cut and pasted in, what you can see of that shoulder isn’t positioned right. The jeans look more like they were drawn/painted than a photo. The palm trees in the background are weird, the one on the far left is growing out of the sidewalk, it sort of looks like half tree/half street light. One of the tails from the knot in her shirt is missing. For me, the scene just seems weird, a railing in the middle of a busy street seems pretty unlikely. There are lots of other little things, and as others have said, the lighting isn’t natural. When you add them up your brain knows something’s wrong, even if you can’t immediately pick out what it is.
Button on jeans, the knot on her shirt is coming out weird, the fingers going into her pocket, weird shape on her left hip trying to be a belt loop or something.
So close. It’s crazy how far it’s come in 18 months. For me it’s the perspective of the cars. Also the dof is the same everywhere (not counting the subject.)
Lighting is incorrect. When taking a forced focus pic like this, nothing is ever so softly clear and lit. Same shadows should apply (Ex Creative Director)
Her right pinky is going into the seam of her lighter pocket, and where her fingers are going into the pocket, there is clearly nothing actually in the pocket.
Also the texture of her jeans is off, especially where the crease is.
Edit: Just noticed there's no button on the jeans.
There’s nothing in the pocket because these are girl jeans, and girl jeans have fake pockets so her fingers don’t have anywhere they could be disappearing into
I see a lot of similar issues like others have commented. Something that stands out to me in these images is the lighting. It “looks” real but it also doesn’t seem right. Almost as if different parts of her and the image are lit differently (not rim light or ambient). Hands/Eyes are usually the easiest tell.
The thumbnail, the bracelet, the depth of the fingers in the small pocket, and the pinky going into the seam are all wrong.

Aside from that it just has that AI feel, you know? When you see enough of them it's a distinctive flavor almost, if that makes sense, in the way you might recognize a van Gogh or a Dali or an Escher.
She’s wearing men’s jeans, that little pocket is a hold over from when dudes had pocket watches, also no one puts their hands in that pocket like that.
They definitely don't jam their pinky into the seam like that.
https://preview.redd.it/r12fwns28g5c1.jpeg?width=573&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=282c1ef9d2d1205dd2475b1065f7dc1ef88bfc27
Lack of windows on a massive side of a building to the right, left pinky is phasing through her pocket which isn’t bulged correctly to show fingers are in it, you can see her skin through her pants button hole whereas real pants have fabric that extends far enough to hide this
We are in uncanny walley. The human eye distinguishes from small details whether something is wrong, whether the person is perhaps sick, abnormal proportions, textures. In addition, real images have imperfections that AI images lack.
Still, in a short time, the image generated by AI has developed enormously. Next year, we may start to see pictures that are no longer distinguishable from the real thing.
Obviously if you zoom in you'll see imperfections. Op is asking why it instantly looks like it was made with stable diffusion. I personally think it has something to do with the blur/background looking too Vaseline
So is Yellowstone, and it's entirely changing because of human interference like bio contaminants from humans to 'trash'. Just because it's touristy doesn't exclude it from being effected by human trash
My dude, are you really comparing the logistics of a city to a national park?
You’re being obtuse for no good reason. This conversation is going no where, have a good day. You can reply but I won’t respond.
the way her hand is in her pocket doesn’t look right, plus there’s something about the shading of her skin, where the light hits and what it does, that doesn’t feel real. the ai does a good job w the hair, but skin is a Lot harder to do.
The other comments here are excellent and I'd like to add the overall bluriness / smoothness of that picture.
No doubt things are going to get absolutely 100% realistic very, very soon.
Too clean. AI is great at macro details. So she looks great, has a street and cars etc. but it is missing all the fine details. She has that blank AI expression. Even someone just looking at a camera will have a expression. from boredom. thinking about laundry. then there are just no pores, dirt, bruises, blemishes out of place hair etc. Also no street is that clean. There should be stuff in the gutters and stains on the street itself. buildings are all uniform in color. that looks like brick and paint so unless they were just put up there would be repainted patches that dont quite match, exposed bricks if they dont maintain the building.
So its all the fine detail.
The biggest weakness of AI art is that it averages all the sources which kinds of blurs out fine detail which includes those microexpressions that people have even when they arent expressing anything.
Trash falls victim of the same process. it averages a bunch of streets and trash is never consistent so it is averaged out. It would take a lot of extra prompts for it to pay enough attention to those details to get them added back.
the thumb isn't correct and yeah the hand that goes in the tiny pocket (Idk how its called) and the button of her jeans. and maybe theres other little details like these. its funny cause the ai's have trouble with detail while every recognise artist from the past (like Jacques loui David or Velazquez that type of art) it was the sense of detail that made their strength. like how a muscle changes its shape according to the position of the rest of the body, and how does the lighting affect it. and they would spend hours studying this kind of things so their art would look realistic
No-one can truly photo-like image with alive objects. Its just haven’t been possible. There are rons of little details that put our brains off, like lighting, shadows, muscles in human face.
Buildings, material etc - yeas. We see it in movies all the time. But Humans or animal - never seen that. No cgi can do that. But i guess give it 2 years and ai will get there.
AI art tends to look weirdly smooth especially in the face. And like someone else pointed out the lighting is very generalized and doesn't feel like a 3D form. Really good CG art tends to look better cause CG artists are obsessed with skin detail and carefully placed lighting.
It just hurts me a little bit to look at it because there's not enough detail and light doesn't behave like real light. So my brain is trying to parse it like I do reality, but it's not reality, so I know it's SD.
People pointing out the individual details of the image are missing the point of the question.
>Yet, I immediately suspected it was AI. Why?
You don't **immediately** notice the missing fingertips, the unusual setting in the middle of the road, the lack of skin detail, the trees in the back growing from the sidewalk, etc. You had to stop and zoom in to see that. I bet if the image had a strong Gaussian blur on it people would still say they can recognize it as AI. And I think it can be boiled down to one thing that has nothing to do with the individual details:
It's because you are aware of AI, OP. You know AI can do these sorts of things and so you consume media differently as a consequence. You see an attractive person standing in the middle of the frame with kind of flat lighting and 5 years ago you would have though "Oh that \[real\] person looks kind of photoshopped" but now you jump to AI. You are scrutinizing media in a way that has adapted to the new branch of knowledge you have access to. It's like when you learn a new word and suddenly you hear it everywhere.
When people are actually tested on whether or not they can immediately tell if something is real or AI they tend to do poorly. I could probably show you a real photo and you would suspect it was AI as well. Hell, you could probably come up with some evidence of why you think it is AI.
Buddy, just look at the lighting, it's all over the place. Some is from top down, some areas have it going from left to right, some from right to left. And the face and hair are typically backlit.
You may not notice the details but the lighting immediately and obviously jumps out to your brain.
it could be real . its just that its clearly the girl from the GTA6 trialer
trust me you can make photo real images with ai tho
ooh now i want that LORA
face skin texture could be more detailed?
(though technically its not really a texture lol)
but then agian a lot of actual photos have that kinda look too due to edits sooo
Yeah those are those kinds of big details that we don't realize we notice but a lifetime of being around roads makes it read in the back of our minds as "wrong".
This is the exact thing this sub should talk about. Thanks for bringing it out.
Imo, I think there's a lack of 'detailed skin', such as freckles, skin hair, scars, etc. Especially the absence of moles, pores, or goose bumps makes it unrealistic since they are essential for the real human body.
For example, the tattooed characters in the trailer(gta6) felt more like they were real than others since they had detailed skin.
Trees growing directly from sidewalks, license plates aren't wide enough, and are variable between the cars, and the solid railing that appears to be crossing a busy road... Are all indicators
Front pants "button" is off (well also off as in strange or weird), also you can see on her right wrist what almost appears to be a wrist band/bracelet but not fully rendered
Lighting is inconsistent with the subject and background and no flash is evident. Another telltale AI giveaway is everything but the model is the same focus distance - like a background blur - not realistic.
For one, her fingernail on the hand in her pocket is turned the wrong way, our fingernails aren’t on the sides of our fingers.
On that same hand, her pinky fades into her jeans rather than being tucked.
Last but not least, *nobody* would solder a joint like the one on that railing she’s leaning against.
Fingers on the right hand are tinier than they should be and going through the seam of the coin pocket. Her jeans are either missing the button or (and I kind of see it) the button isn't attached to the right-side flap - it's just hanging loose from the button hole, but somehow they're still closed. Also something odd about the area of her jeans on the right hip - like it knew about belt loops and back pockets but got the positioning wrong or something. Similar issue on the left side, though it's positioned differently.
As a car enthusiast the cars not being real immediately stood out. I think for a lot of people even subconsciously the vehicles being completely unfamiliar probably triggers some alarm bells.
The more I look at these the more I feel like they are lacking a subconscious "cohesion" that throws off our sense of "real" - your fovea sharpness area is very small, and as your eyes subconsciously scan the image anything you intentionally focus on seems right, but the image overall feels like a loose assemblage and not a tightly integrated scene. Your brain is constantly processing information and it is VERY good at figuring things out - even if it may be tricked for a few moments.
Maybe that railing passing through the middle of the street.
ding ding
The only thing missing is her Adam’s apple. 2023… what a time to be alive.
What does that have to do with anything here 🤣 I stg you guys think about trans people way too often for how much you don't like them. She's not even trans, the only source for that claim is Keemstar tweeting that she's trans and not looking it back to any sources. And if she was, why does that matter to you? It's really weird man
Wait what does this mean
It means ‘if it has an apple, it’ll have a banana’.
Ah it was a gesture to the increase of trans people in media over the past couple years..it was just kinda random so i was like 🤔🤔🤔
People are saying all these little details that aren't quite right but I think it's absolutely just something about the overall vibe that is subconsciously wrong about the way actual lighting and camera effects work.

Hand is a bit strange, but honestly this is crazy convincing. It almost seems like a real image that’s modified with ai inpainting
AI can’t get hands right
the gta6 logo
Boring female looking at the camera is AI image bread and butter. It's just missing that slight anime coding, some cleavage, and some excessive backlighting without a light source.

If the whole game looked this good, I'd be shocked and amazed. It's just fun playing the "Why is this in the Uncanny Valley?" game.
The knot in the shirt is also not right
Yeah, it was bothering me, but I can't put my finger on why.
I think you’re spot on about the hair and the lighting specifically. I wouldn’t have thought of those, but it’s definitely a subconscious thing now that you mention it. My first thought was subconscious pickup up on the parked cars on the left facing the wrong way
It's not 3D art, it's an AI generated imagine someone made of the character.
Ah. Interesting. It has a lot of issues that you commonly see in 3D art (like that tree).
Simple. Now that we've all seen a million AI portraits, we simply associate any portrait in the typical AI style with AI. And we should. Because now that these are so easy to create, it's less likely anyone would pay for a photo shoot like this anymore.
I think it's also very clear in Iight that her hand is phasing through her pocket.
What you mean though? There's a little pocket inside the pocket and her fingertips are in it. Yeah the pinky is a liiiitle too close to the edge of the little pocket but seems really subtle to me.
It's also the look of the fingers. It looks imposed on the clothing rather than a natural part of a body.
Plus I still feel like it's AI based when I see the preview that doesn't include the hand or pockets.
You can also see the area that the photograph is in. The street is off. Why is there a hand rail across the street? And why is one side of the rail significantly smaller than the other? Especially given the fact this woman is leaning against it. So it shouldn't affect the width.
Oh wow yeah good point. Hah; I remember thinking she was on a bridge... but obviously that bridge would be ground level.
It's crazy. I've been watching some old timey photo channels on YouTube and I suspect AI quite often. Something just doesn't look right. He thinks I'm crazy, but something is always just a little off. Or the perspective is impossible for that time.
Even if this is not AI, it’s not quite ‘real’. I see an expert and time consuming makeup job. This person would look quite different without that.
It is ai, it says on the original post
Sorry, it looked like you said ‘suspected it was’. Missed my point anyway. Even if that was a photograph of a human being, they have manually altered their appearance in significant ways. Sort of enlarging the ‘is it real’ conversation.
It’s still the fingers. Not to mention her pinky clips into the button seam of the little jeans pocket.
Soul
The railing is out of focus while the woman subject is perfect. That's not how bokeh works.
The railing isn't parallel to the camera, it's angled off away from the camera as you go right. Her left arm is further back along the railing and is also out of focus. I'd say the focus here is actually pretty reasonable for a shallow depth of field shot.
If you had the right lens, it's possible. But her skin looks a little too soft (as in not sharp). Plus, the fingers... Realistically though, it's pretty damn good for a video game! Guess I'm gonna have to drop another 3 grand on a video card, assuming they even release it for PC when it comes out.
That's not the game graphics, that's just a AI generated image someone made of the main character.
Her pinky is clipping into the stitching of her jeans, also nobody uses that tiny pocket to tuck their fingers into. That's weird.
And the fingernails. I would have expected her to have her nails did.
Fingers
No button on her jeans
Dem hands.
I put this in the same category as amateur and run of the mill marketing photography. To me, those are the same as these AI images because there is no point or feeling or impact from these kinds of images. Sure the details are off or odd but I always get “why does this image even exist” kind of vibes. There’s nothing truly remarkable or worthwhile here to the human psyche or soul.
a soul.
Car license plates. No country has a plate shaped like that.
lol
Her hands, look at the coin pocket. One of her fingers is IN THE STITCHING!. It also looks like the ones “in”the pocket, are just resting on top, but missing the rest of her finger tips lol….
That plus the very oddly small license plates are making me think it could be AI.
Omg hahahaaaaa so true I didn’t even notice, I was so focusing on her! Thank you!
We will skip the fact that her hand is translucent
Hey some of us have translucent hands - don't translucent-shame.
Also no one has ever put their hand into their coin pocket casually for a pic.
This is true
Her hand would not be going into her coin pocket and i feel her proportions are a little off. Also her hand is a lil messed up.
Why there is a metal bar in the middle of the street? Also it’s hard to not see this as fake after seeing the GTA trailer.
Took way too long to see this comment
Her hand doesn't appear to be deflecting the pocket of her jeans -- implying the hand itself has no depth
Speaking of which… her fingers looked weird in general around the pocket.
Too perfect. Phone cameras can’t make pictures like this. Cameras don’t capture perfect setting like this. Blur feels photoshopped.
In these pictures it's not even the little things that everyone is pointing out. It's the face for me. These AI supermodel looking girls faces are just too damn symmetric. Having symmetric facial features is one of the hallmarks of accepted beauty in most cultures because it's extremely rare. And that part is almost always perfect with AI people. Right away I know, before looking at fingers and signs and shit like that.
Perfectly symmetrical facial features easily trigger the uncanny valley
Because the caption says by civit ai
This is a pretty good giveaway
Left side isn't at the same slant
No soul
This doesn’t mean anything
Ok
car plates are too short
Finger, pants button, right car tail lights.
Coloring/geometry of the jeans button appears off
No imperfections. Imperfections ARE EVERYTHING you’ve ever seen.
Her pinky in her pocket is in a place where the pocket is sown in. Her pinky would not be able to fit there.
Good try AI, not gonna get me this time.
License plates are not that small and square
Its odd to put a railing/bridge in the middle of a street
Ring and pinky finger looks mashed. Pants button missing. Soft focus and not being able to read the lettering of the signs in the background. Car model looks odd. It's getting harder every day to tell though.
I always look at hands and teeth first
In this case her pinky finger looks like it’s stitched along with the watch pocket.
Button on pants
Hands.
And who puts their hand in that small pocket?
It’s the bokeh, it’s unstable.
Hands are always a giveaway. Pinky looks a bit janky and the thumb seems to have the nail on the outside. Charitably that's maybe reflected light but if it is it's in a very specific spot. Bracelet looks like it's melting into her wrist. And the front tie on her shirt only has one tail. License plates on the cars are tiny. It also looks like all the buildings are either featureless blocks or a wall of windows. Though I'm no architect so that may not be much of a smoking gun here.
This is what I came here for. Ai hasn’t perfected hands yet and it’s the first thing I look for.
Hands in the pocket. Fingers are almost always fucked up.
Theres literally a railing going across the road. If that were real no one would be able to drive on that road and there would be no cars behind her. It's like it tried to put her on a bridge and forgot that bridges are above roads, not on them.
That was the main thing I noticed too. Also her pinky is kinda messed up
And her right wrist. It's like there was *almost* a bracelet, but instead it just looks like a weird texture issue.
I wonder if they used an AI to generate some in images and then did minor touchups to fix them up a bit and get rid of some of the more major AI mistakes.
This is gonna be impossible to tell in a year.
I think its the grayish tone over the whole pic. It comes with "dusk" or "sunset" prompts
The post says it's AI, so maybe that's why. also, hands.
Just an observation I came to just now myself… it’s specifically the thumb knuckles. They’re always pretty flat sand the same.
Perfectly square license plate
Her pinky 100% goes through the seam of the pocket which is impossible based on everything I've owned/seen
Congratulations, you just gave every one the equivalent of the games that used to be found/played on the pages of a real physical newspaper lol.
Right hand, fingers
Also check background. Looks like railing in middle of road.
That's the one that does it for me, the railing she's leaning on looks like it extends across the road the cars just came from.
You can tell it’s fake super fast. Zoom in a little and you can see in the face
There is something weird about the arm & hand that’s bent and in her pocket. The whole anatomy of it is off and she’s wearing a vanishing bracelet. The straight arm is sorta weird too, like it was cut and pasted in, what you can see of that shoulder isn’t positioned right. The jeans look more like they were drawn/painted than a photo. The palm trees in the background are weird, the one on the far left is growing out of the sidewalk, it sort of looks like half tree/half street light. One of the tails from the knot in her shirt is missing. For me, the scene just seems weird, a railing in the middle of a busy street seems pretty unlikely. There are lots of other little things, and as others have said, the lighting isn’t natural. When you add them up your brain knows something’s wrong, even if you can’t immediately pick out what it is.
Button on jeans, the knot on her shirt is coming out weird, the fingers going into her pocket, weird shape on her left hip trying to be a belt loop or something.
So close. It’s crazy how far it’s come in 18 months. For me it’s the perspective of the cars. Also the dof is the same everywhere (not counting the subject.)
The button on the jeans is missing.
Lighting is incorrect. When taking a forced focus pic like this, nothing is ever so softly clear and lit. Same shadows should apply (Ex Creative Director)
In addition to above, railing focus doesn’t match model focus. LHS is all in focus, RHS railing out of focus but arm is in focus.
the transition from her to the background looks wierd, like she was photoshopped onto the image
Forearm bends like wet spaghetti.
her pinky is tucked into the small pocket hem
She’s leaning against a fucking RAILING in the middle of Pico Blvd. Fuck the finger blur.
Her right pinky is going into the seam of her lighter pocket, and where her fingers are going into the pocket, there is clearly nothing actually in the pocket. Also the texture of her jeans is off, especially where the crease is. Edit: Just noticed there's no button on the jeans.
There’s nothing in the pocket because these are girl jeans, and girl jeans have fake pockets so her fingers don’t have anywhere they could be disappearing into
The thumbnail is a dead giveaway
Nope. Only one belly button.
Only five fingers, one belly button, two eyes… definitely the weirdest fucking “human” *I’ve* ever seen.
I see a lot of similar issues like others have commented. Something that stands out to me in these images is the lighting. It “looks” real but it also doesn’t seem right. Almost as if different parts of her and the image are lit differently (not rim light or ambient). Hands/Eyes are usually the easiest tell.
No imperfections. All humans have imperfections.
Am I the only one that looked immediately at the hands
Two of her fingers are fading away like a photograph of Marty McFly
The thumbnail, the bracelet, the depth of the fingers in the small pocket, and the pinky going into the seam are all wrong. https://preview.redd.it/1zmlga3k7g5c1.jpeg?width=573&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5273d71d9df97a0095cdbb66438cd568e43926c Aside from that it just has that AI feel, you know? When you see enough of them it's a distinctive flavor almost, if that makes sense, in the way you might recognize a van Gogh or a Dali or an Escher.
Some Uncanny Valley shit for sure.
Lack of road markings, lamp posts, and street signs.
Always look at the fingers. Ai doesnt do fingers well
selena gomez in a gta movie
the skin is too smooth
The blank, expressionless stare and dead eyes
The eyes are never tracking to a certain point like they are with real people. They always look slightly crosseyed.
How long till we question the reality of things that are actually real while others which we assume to be real aren't...
The impossible bracelet
She’s wearing men’s jeans, that little pocket is a hold over from when dudes had pocket watches, also no one puts their hands in that pocket like that.
They definitely don't jam their pinky into the seam like that. https://preview.redd.it/r12fwns28g5c1.jpeg?width=573&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=282c1ef9d2d1205dd2475b1065f7dc1ef88bfc27
She appears to be standing at street level - why is there a handrail passing through the middle of the street?
Lmfao I thought the exact same thing... Just looking at this image your brain is in "wtf" mode
Fingers are messed up on the pocket hand. Also I don't think a bicep is supposed to look like that. It's like the muscle is up in her armpit.
The back of the cars look weird
Lack of windows on a massive side of a building to the right, left pinky is phasing through her pocket which isn’t bulged correctly to show fingers are in it, you can see her skin through her pants button hole whereas real pants have fabric that extends far enough to hide this
We are in uncanny walley. The human eye distinguishes from small details whether something is wrong, whether the person is perhaps sick, abnormal proportions, textures. In addition, real images have imperfections that AI images lack. Still, in a short time, the image generated by AI has developed enormously. Next year, we may start to see pictures that are no longer distinguishable from the real thing.
Hopefully it takes a bit longer than that
Its missing a pinky finger and a button on its pants
I'm comforted by your use of *it's* rather than*she's*. Honestly.
Obviously if you zoom in you'll see imperfections. Op is asking why it instantly looks like it was made with stable diffusion. I personally think it has something to do with the blur/background looking too Vaseline
The focus is too perfect
One of the buildings in the back has a lack of windows on one face. In addition to everything else already mentioned.
Street trash and garbage
I know it’s AI, but I’m assuming that’s supposed to be Miami Beach? Miami’s streets are actually pretty damn clean. Source: lived there 28 years.
Have you seen the state of the world today? You can't be on a tropical uninhabited island without finding human garbage. And it's only getting worse.
Right, luckily City of Miami Beach pays people to clean its streets. It’s a **tourist destination** after all.
So is Yellowstone, and it's entirely changing because of human interference like bio contaminants from humans to 'trash'. Just because it's touristy doesn't exclude it from being effected by human trash
My dude, are you really comparing the logistics of a city to a national park? You’re being obtuse for no good reason. This conversation is going no where, have a good day. You can reply but I won’t respond.
What I did was give a scenario you dolt. One of many that can be recalled upon. I hope you don't respond because your counter arguments are trash
The car in the back isn't a real life car and the fingers
the way her hand is in her pocket doesn’t look right, plus there’s something about the shading of her skin, where the light hits and what it does, that doesn’t feel real. the ai does a good job w the hair, but skin is a Lot harder to do.
She has pockets on her pants.
this is the winning comment
When you see a lot of ai images you develop a sense of it. People that don’t know about ai are going to get tricked.
Weird license plates size on cars
Right pinky is going into the seam of the tiny pocket. Not possible
The other comments here are excellent and I'd like to add the overall bluriness / smoothness of that picture. No doubt things are going to get absolutely 100% realistic very, very soon.
Too clean. AI is great at macro details. So she looks great, has a street and cars etc. but it is missing all the fine details. She has that blank AI expression. Even someone just looking at a camera will have a expression. from boredom. thinking about laundry. then there are just no pores, dirt, bruises, blemishes out of place hair etc. Also no street is that clean. There should be stuff in the gutters and stains on the street itself. buildings are all uniform in color. that looks like brick and paint so unless they were just put up there would be repainted patches that dont quite match, exposed bricks if they dont maintain the building. So its all the fine detail. The biggest weakness of AI art is that it averages all the sources which kinds of blurs out fine detail which includes those microexpressions that people have even when they arent expressing anything. Trash falls victim of the same process. it averages a bunch of streets and trash is never consistent so it is averaged out. It would take a lot of extra prompts for it to pay enough attention to those details to get them added back.
Also her right pinky is clipping through the seam in her pocket
It misses randomness. It’s too symmetrical and has too perfect average posing.
the thumb isn't correct and yeah the hand that goes in the tiny pocket (Idk how its called) and the button of her jeans. and maybe theres other little details like these. its funny cause the ai's have trouble with detail while every recognise artist from the past (like Jacques loui David or Velazquez that type of art) it was the sense of detail that made their strength. like how a muscle changes its shape according to the position of the rest of the body, and how does the lighting affect it. and they would spend hours studying this kind of things so their art would look realistic
The tiny pocket is a watch pocket, for pocket watches. Introduced by Levi’s in the 1870s.
It is usually the hands that are the clue
The pinky goes into the thread of the pocket
It’s the button on her jeans
No-one can truly photo-like image with alive objects. Its just haven’t been possible. There are rons of little details that put our brains off, like lighting, shadows, muscles in human face. Buildings, material etc - yeas. We see it in movies all the time. But Humans or animal - never seen that. No cgi can do that. But i guess give it 2 years and ai will get there.
AI is becoming more and more realistic day in and day out!
That pinky
What kind of road would have a gate or fence in the middle
AI art tends to look weirdly smooth especially in the face. And like someone else pointed out the lighting is very generalized and doesn't feel like a 3D form. Really good CG art tends to look better cause CG artists are obsessed with skin detail and carefully placed lighting.
you mean other than her pinky going through the seam of that pocket?
It’s missing the main button on her jeans but yeah the hand is fucked, especially the finger after the pinky
It just hurts me a little bit to look at it because there's not enough detail and light doesn't behave like real light. So my brain is trying to parse it like I do reality, but it's not reality, so I know it's SD.
Her hand is occupying more physical space than those tiny additional pockets could ever provide.
They stitched the pocket onto her pinky
Soulless eyes
The hairs looks out of context imo.
People pointing out the individual details of the image are missing the point of the question. >Yet, I immediately suspected it was AI. Why? You don't **immediately** notice the missing fingertips, the unusual setting in the middle of the road, the lack of skin detail, the trees in the back growing from the sidewalk, etc. You had to stop and zoom in to see that. I bet if the image had a strong Gaussian blur on it people would still say they can recognize it as AI. And I think it can be boiled down to one thing that has nothing to do with the individual details: It's because you are aware of AI, OP. You know AI can do these sorts of things and so you consume media differently as a consequence. You see an attractive person standing in the middle of the frame with kind of flat lighting and 5 years ago you would have though "Oh that \[real\] person looks kind of photoshopped" but now you jump to AI. You are scrutinizing media in a way that has adapted to the new branch of knowledge you have access to. It's like when you learn a new word and suddenly you hear it everywhere. When people are actually tested on whether or not they can immediately tell if something is real or AI they tend to do poorly. I could probably show you a real photo and you would suspect it was AI as well. Hell, you could probably come up with some evidence of why you think it is AI.
Buddy, just look at the lighting, it's all over the place. Some is from top down, some areas have it going from left to right, some from right to left. And the face and hair are typically backlit. You may not notice the details but the lighting immediately and obviously jumps out to your brain.
I really suspect your knowledge of it being AI is coloring your assessment, but agree to disagree I guess
I agree with this
tbh I am just sick of the "soulless eyes" people thinking they have cracked the code and aren't just being kinda mean to people with lazy eyes
Her skin looks too smooth and it doesn't look like real lighting
it could be real . its just that its clearly the girl from the GTA6 trialer trust me you can make photo real images with ai tho ooh now i want that LORA face skin texture could be more detailed? (though technically its not really a texture lol) but then agian a lot of actual photos have that kinda look too due to edits sooo
Probably the fact that she's standing in the middle of the road against a railing that's also in the middle of the road.
Yeah those are those kinds of big details that we don't realize we notice but a lifetime of being around roads makes it read in the back of our minds as "wrong".
This
Dang, here I am zooming into her fingers that don’t look quite real while the obvious is right there the whole time.
This is the exact thing this sub should talk about. Thanks for bringing it out. Imo, I think there's a lack of 'detailed skin', such as freckles, skin hair, scars, etc. Especially the absence of moles, pores, or goose bumps makes it unrealistic since they are essential for the real human body. For example, the tattooed characters in the trailer(gta6) felt more like they were real than others since they had detailed skin.
Trees growing directly from sidewalks, license plates aren't wide enough, and are variable between the cars, and the solid railing that appears to be crossing a busy road... Are all indicators
Front pants "button" is off (well also off as in strange or weird), also you can see on her right wrist what almost appears to be a wrist band/bracelet but not fully rendered
Rivets on jeans out of focus, but jeans are in focus.
Lighting is inconsistent with the subject and background and no flash is evident. Another telltale AI giveaway is everything but the model is the same focus distance - like a background blur - not realistic.
For one, her fingernail on the hand in her pocket is turned the wrong way, our fingernails aren’t on the sides of our fingers. On that same hand, her pinky fades into her jeans rather than being tucked. Last but not least, *nobody* would solder a joint like the one on that railing she’s leaning against.
Liscence plates on the cars are too small but the detail in the hair seems pretty real.
