The exercise loses a bit of its edge when the couple and the tornado are figments of an AI. What's next? Centaur galloping down Pennsylvania Avenue wearing a fedora what's on your ipod?

Ilx is for AI sludge now, get with it

five six seven, eight nine ten, begin (map), Thursday, 3 July 2025 21:26 (one month ago)

it's a fb image link it'll probably go away soon enough

five six seven, eight nine ten, begin (map), Thursday, 3 July 2025 21:26 (one month ago)

apparently this is NOT AI, but may be the inspiration for the thread pic

the photo does look fake, but the happy couple appears to be real

it looks like Andrew Wyeth painted their engagement pic

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 3 July 2025 21:48 (one month ago)

phone image processing nowdays pretty much AI tbf

maf you one two (maffew12), Thursday, 3 July 2025 21:50 (one month ago)

that image had every vestige of reality 'enhanced' out of it

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 3 July 2025 22:21 (one month ago)

Again, I can’t zoom in on Zing so is her leg as fucked up as it looks to me?

The "W" and Odie Trail (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 3 July 2025 22:25 (one month ago)

I guess it’s a sunburn

The "W" and Odie Trail (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 3 July 2025 22:26 (one month ago)

LOL it's a tattoo.

Blake the Messenger (Tom D.), Thursday, 3 July 2025 22:27 (one month ago)

yeah jeez it looks hella fake. it came from a trusted fb friend. wild how easy it can be to be fooled. i think this is the first time it's happened to me and the image it happened with is a little embarrassing. maybe i'll think "tornado engagement" every time i see someone fall for an ai image now.

five six seven, eight nine ten, begin (map), Thursday, 3 July 2025 23:23 (one month ago)

I think it's a real photo that's been "enhanced" with phone filters, maffew12 OTM

the photo is hard not to read as fake, not only because of the way it looks, but because these storm chasers are acting as if tornadoes are special effects ... reality-checking the products of that mentality might be a lost cause

i think there is some editing, ai or otherwise, with the background (there is a huge range in light and color which is hard for photographs), but the couple looks real to me.

funny details: his oversized boots, her crocs and apple gear
