And you’ve been told multiple times that the image that was posted is definitely an ai upscale of the image you keep posting. So yes. It’s ai. Stop.
Stop trying to move things towards a positive outcome instead of constant negativity? No, I don't think I will.
EDIT: Also AI upscale is not AI slop. One is done locally on your hardware by using vector logic to increase the resolution of an image. The other is theft of a number of images to "create" a new one while burning gigawatts of electricity. The fact that some marketing dickwad slapped AI on both does not make them the same thing.
Whether upscaling is slop is based on the algorithm.
Asking chatgpt to improve the image is not upscaling but thats definitely what happend here.
There is a whole ass tire in the ai image that is not in the original… because if you know what a car looks like there should not be one there.
The same phenomenon happens with coloring old photos with ai.
What it should do is assign colours to pixels. But every time i see one posted its a colored recreation with details wrongly added.
Stop trying to say things are not ai when, in fact, they are.
Learn the difference between AI slop and AI upscale.
Ai upscale IS ai slop!
Cool cool. So, never play videogames given that upscaling is common. Never use an iPhone or android camera given that the same tech is used AND every image they produced is a composite created by the same vector graphics technology. Got it. 👍
You are correct that it is curious that we live in a society.
