It’s AI yeah. Look at all the tech on the table in the middle, it all just dissolves into sludge. Also, it’s hard to articulate, but there’s something about the way current image generation models generate transparent materials, such as that squat little water bottle in the foreground, that always jumps out to me. I suspect because it’s primarily learned what drink container should look like from overlit advertisements.

The phone cable bends wrong and disappears into his sleeve with no phone anywhere to be seen. The phone base is flat on the table but also on top of that yellow thing with a random glass bottle on it. The reflection of the guy on the right doesn’t line up with the actual shape of his sleeve. The papers in front of him seem to just be whatever shape they feel like, but that could just be low detail. The electronics are a mess, and the improbably thin screen of the closest one seems to only go about halfway down whatever it’s attached to, and is at the wrong angle from it even beyond that. The one guy in the background seems to have a hood on his uniform, which is halfway up his head; he also appears to have three gigantic fingers. The ceiling tiles have a weird curve to their path. The guy on the very end has very long forearms and his hands are a melted blob flowing over and around objects on the table; his left arm is also coming in from entirely the wrong angle.

The key with ai pics is to zoom into a certain section and the anomalies become very obvious, usually stuff in the background or further away gets warped more. The full picture your brain briefly tricks you into thinking its authentic. I fukin hate AI

Tag yourself, I’m the little glass of water with its own podium seat at the table.
