The 80s ended 35 years ago. They didn't have no Data or wall-e and no good Terminator who was protecting John Connor

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.

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?

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.

Risky move posting this on Lemmy. “Slop” posts incoming.

Well that's good, then. Stealing art is only bad when AI does it.
