It’s an AI generated anti AI image. It’s set in Sydney Harbour and it’s so Shit I can smell it here in Gosford
How can you tell?
I'm embarrassed to say that for me it took until the H in Human. It's clearly an "It". Which, considering how incredibly meticulous the rest of the sign was (itself quite suspicious in retrospect) is very jarring and out-of-place. The fact that the H is transformed not just into mess, but into a perfect rendition of two other valid characters is a very AI type of mistake to make.
There's also, in retrospect, the question of where the photo was taken from. The photo shows an angle of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge that I don't think is possible, especially when you add in that brick footpath and metal railing. It resembles, perhaps, parts of the railing from Circular Quay, which is west of the Opera House, and thus cannot show both Opera House and Bridge in the same photo. The angle appears to be from near Mrs Macquarie's Chair, but here's what the view looks like there:
There's also something just a bit "off" about the whole text. It looks digitally super-imposed. I'd be prepared to believe it was Photoshopped in over a blank board (or a board with a different message) even if it isn't AI, long before I'd believe it's 100% genuine.
His fingers for example. His thumb nails are widely different, one left finger looks weirdly fat. The fence behind him is different to the right and to the left of him, the bridge seems to consist of weird poles. Also check the shadow of the left fence on the ground, it doesn't match the fence structure.
There are many subtle hints, just look a while into the details and it will feel kind of odd.
What's wrong with his ears?
The writing on the sign looking off was the first thing I noticed. The truly damning evidence is that the only place to get a photograph of the Sydney Opera house and the Harbour Bridge together in the angle shown is from Mrs Macquaries’s chair which much further away than shown in the photo. Maybe m there’s some trickery that can be done with a camera to make the Opera House look closer, still there’s a problem as there is no metal fence where this was supposedly taken.
*edit: although that doesn’t have the right kind of footpath
*edit2: actually looking at the first pic again that footpath isn’t bricks; that’s the shadow from the railing; it’s just concrete
Yeah I noticed that too after writing my own comment. But still, the railing sits on a big concrete foundation, and it's pretty clearly right on the water. Near Mrs Macquarie’s Chair the railing doesn't have the metal wire, doesn't sit on the concrete foundation, and is notably raised up above the water.
the camera angle for the photo is taken from pretty low down… the cameras for the walking rigs for street view style cameras are all mounted on backpacks, above the persons head
i’m not sure, but i think that could account for the difference in visibility of shrubbery and outcropping
No offence, but in the grand scheme of things, that's...not very far.
Still, I can smell it here in Brisbane. Which is still not that far on a global scale, but it's a fair bit further. (Brisbane the city, that is, not the Brisbane Water that Gosford sits on.)
