Phone processors do post processing when taking a picture, even with the "no filter" selection. So yeah, it is understandable sometimes people can mistake a picture as "AI" since the artifact from said processing can become apparent
This one scares me because I genuinely can’t tell if this is an incredibly realistic AI image or an incredibly AI-like real image
The techbro future is here and sucks, but 99.9 this is a real image.
Yeah...
Seems like a real picture but with a strong AI filler.
