    Is this a real picture or is it another AI generated image of the Pope?

    I’m slowly getting conditioned to the idea that all images with the Pope will be fake in the future.

      look at the funky edges on the keyboard, the warped screens in the background and the cables and terminate randomly on the desk. this is an AI generated image.

        The more you look at it the worse it gets.

        But for me the most obvious tell is the edge of the desk. SD focuses too much on local details, so the foreground edge is not in-line with the background edge.

        Anything with straight lines and precise angles is the nemesis of these particular algorithms.

        Absolutely, yes. The screens generally look shopped in though but there’s that one angular AI-like glitch on the top one. The heap of backrests and screens in the back, right, also looks funky. Is that table floating? Also, that’s not actually the pope compare the ear.

        I think it’s SDXL which actually got quite good at hands but that doesn’t mean that it suddenly knows what anything in any background looks like. Technical objects generally aren’t its strengths. The Eiffel Tower is always fun, it seems like it’s trying to make it into an organic canopy, if you want proper results for such things you have to train it first (or download a lora).

        What on earth are you talking about? What warped screens in the background? What funky edges?

        As for “cables terminate randomly on the desk” my brother in christ have you ever actually seen a server room? They’re not “terminating randomly” they’re running behind the rackmount terminal screen.

          Zoom in onto the keyboard, it looks like a Dali painting, all molten. Try to find the cursor keys. Seven rows in total? Two space bars? As to cables: Why are there a dozen going to the keyboard behind his arm?

        I honestly thought it was real too until I looked at it, like drip pope and sadly, if you think it’s real for a second, it can be published. This is the real problem with AI images.

      I was wondering too. The hands are OK but his face seems… Well, popy ? I choose to believe that’s a true picture, just because our world is quite strange already. Edit: who else could be the sysadmin of all their hosted CP ? 🙃
