I still can't believe we're in a period of time where this shit can look so real...
Pretty easy to spot this is generated (beyond the content making it blatantly obvious), though. JD's right hand is too large, left one is garbled having a distorted finger where a thumb should be. Text on the Cheetos bag is garbled. Vertical frame of the right window continues in the wrong place after horizontal interruption, frame reflections differ per window panel, ... and this is just what jumped out on a cursory glance. I bet I could find a lot more if I looked closer.
I bet you are great at spot-the-difference games
i wish my parents could tell. my dad buys into extremist shit even though people have 7 penis fingers in some of those, and my mom keeps reposting clearly fake emotionally moving shit
This is dangerously close. We know it's AI-generated because a picture like this would never be taken, but without that context, there's very few clues inside the picture itself that suggest it. JD's left hand is at an awkward angle, but his right hand looks correct. The Cheetos bag is closed. We also know that Trump's spray tan isn't applied nearly that evenly; the AI made him look better. That's about it.
This is getting close to having entirely realistic pictures that are completely made up, and nobody will be able to say for sure that they're AI or not. The political implications are unsettling.
OP pretty much did their part
It looks real and makes more sense than that idiot thinking it looks good.
