Except it isn't.

The green lines are all at 90°, perfectly parallel to the edges of the frame. The card is neither held straight, nor printed straight. The bottom of it is also slightly bowed. Two of the corners are visibly dog-eared. Hell, the hand holding it even appears to have the correct complient of fingers.

Everyone here needs to give this a rest. I don't like AI either, but these AI arguments are baseless and bordering on paranoia. These exact same cards are a real thing. All of everyone's "tells" so far are in fact not present in the picture. OP's photo is consistent with a smartphone picture taken in low light too close to the subject.

The only thing we cannot verify is if the OP's story about this is true. We will never be able to conclusively prove if someone walked out on a meal using one of these, or they simply found one in their restaurant and made up a tale about it.

I can tell you from personal experience earned in my time in the food service trenches, I absolutely had people leave things like these in lieu of tips and often people would leave them lying around the restaurant (especially the tracts with one half made look like a dollar bill) but nobody ever actually tried to "pay" for a meal with one under my direct observation.

Just for good measure I dropped this as-is into the first five AI image detectors on Google.

I left the reddit scroll arrows and all the captions in the upload. I would not be at all surprised if this is what triggered the "digitally edited" probabilities, in light of those two it really has been.

I'm walking away from this argument now because I've already expended way too much brain power on this bullshit. I thought I was a cynical bastard, but people in this thread are crazy. I have knives to write about; I can't be having with this nonsense any further.
