this photoshop is almost too subtle

[–] Drewmeister 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, it weirds me out. Almost uncanny valley feeling

But somehow looks almost exactly like Steve Huffman (Reddit scumbag in chief)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Nah. Intermediate difficulty in Photoshop. If I had a source image with ideal lighting and angle I could pull this off on a good day.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't even notice until I read this comment. By brain saw absolutely no difference at first.

it was the lack of braces that tipped me off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's AI slop

Why is he wearing lipstick?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He want's to look pretty for donny

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why would you put an apostrophe there?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

He wants it to look stupid for Donnie? 🤷

My phones keyboard works in mysterious ways, who are we to question it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Cause it's not photoshop, it's AI trash.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That picture is horrifying

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that's what you get depicting that troglodyte showing human emotion. uncanny valley.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I mean he did show emotions before. Did you see the interview where he cries?

What was the game plan here? Wisconsin produces a lot of cheese, so I'll make myself more relatable to the Wisconsin common man by wearing a fucking cheese hat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wisconsin is famous for cheese. There are tourist stops along the highway that sell cheese curds. I think the hat is something fans wear at football games.

This version is somehow both better and worse.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It looks like a giant-headed child.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

So it's accurate, is what you're saying lol

if i was in Vegas, and bet $1 at the coin slot machine, i would still had lost more relatively

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I had to do a double take! That Photoshop is tight! Fuck you, you nazi Kosmonaut

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I swore that kid had braces, and it took me a second to figure it out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

It's almost certainly AI.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Well, Muskler never looked this pleasant.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fuck AI slop. Label this shit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fairly sure this is old-fashioned photoshop

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Which is why AI shit needs to be labeled. If you were photoshopping in a face, why would you retouch an ear, vest, and pattern on the shirt? Answer, you wouldn't, it's AI making the whole thing up

Proof:

Someone from r/MemeRestoration upscaled the bad luck Brian meme a couple years ago.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, looks like AI shit. Thanks for sharing! Also doesn't look like this picture

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No problem!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not that I'm in disagreement (honestly, for memes using old meme templates and not actual art, I just don't care), but aren't there a number of people who work hard to touch up memes? There was a whole subreddit for High Quality Memes and lots of people touching up templates, before AI was big in doing this.

Human wouldn't think a patch of hair with an ear behind it was a shadow on a sun lit ear (cause the sun wouldn't be in a damn photo studio)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Great term, AI slop.

What would we think if we saw a human-quality image generator tomorrow - would labeling be more or less important, would we call it slop due to inherent nature or be more accepting, etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Plagiarism machines make slop. Fullstop

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Omg I'm laughing so hard 🤣
