    This just screams “Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow” even though apparently it doesn’t actually have anything to do with him lol

    And I was really suspicious that this was AI-generated but apparently it’s real? /shrug

    Edit: no it ain’t lol

      Upon further inspection, it’s almost definitely AI. Look at the better-quality original: https://in.pinterest.com/pin/937874691150982659/

      In particular, note the nonsensical reflection in the mirror (which is inexplicably placed on the floor?), weird toilet paper roll, and half-unicorn horn half-third ear thing sticking out from the head.

      And if you check out that Pinterest account, it’s full of AI-generated crap too.

      Which mostly just demonstrates how good the AI has become, to the point where if you scale down the image somewhat, it fools humans and AI detectors alike.

        lmao no wonder something looked so off to me, the HD verision makes it even clearer that it’s AI-generated, even more so considering the website it came from.

        Interestingly enough even the larger image on the original website fooled most of the AI image detectors, with only one of them (isitai.com) just barely saying that the image is probably AI-generated, while all the others said with >90% confidence that it wasn’t.

        I can only speculate that all of these detectors are outdated and were trained with older AI-generated images that were easier to detect.

        Which came first? The AI image could be a bad render of the original picture with low quality.

        There’s issues with models pushing back source material with minor modifications, which suggest they were trained on some copyrighted material. It seems like it could be the case here. Or, as you suggest, it’s a lowering of the AI quality to add a more realistic appearance.
