    Fuck, this one got me. I didn’t see the watermark. Even looking closely the details don’t seem AI, the floppy disks on the table, the cup, the keyboard colouring, the phone wire. Even the numbers on the calendar seem plausible with the bad compression. I hate this doubting every picture I see on the internet

      In the 90s, March did start with a Monday in '93 and '99. But it’s unlikely you’d see TV static (with a decently emulated camera shutter effect) behind an error dialog window - is it the desktop background?

        Fuck me… I only started looking more closely after your comment and noticed that the room’s proportions are fucked up. But, at a first glance, it looks like a photo from the 90s…

        I wanna cry man, I wanna cry. HOW LONG do i have to ask myself “Is this AI?” whenever I see an image on internet?

          Always from now on, it won’t end. And I think it’s a good example here, as it’s clearly indicated with the watermark. Without it I wouldn’t have been sure, this image is very good quality. My clues were the calendar is too conveniently place at the perfect location, and I tried to figure out which win version is that, and the thickness of the header of the warning dialog seems too thick compared to the taskbar. Then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark

          I’m not a luddite, this technology has some good uses, and this is an important step in the good direction that they add a watermark. Next should be an ai notice added to the metadata of the image, so the hosting site could understand it and mark as such, and users can filter it.

          Bad actors obviously could remove any kind of watermark or metadata, so this wouldn’t help against them, but as we see how it goes with drm there is no perfect way to make sure the slop can be always marked as such.

            Define “clearly” 😅 it took a while for you and I to notice the watermark and over half the commenters still believe this is a real image.

    At a former job many years ago, we had an employee get super mad at his PC. He left and returned a short time later with a revolver that he unloaded on said PC. All six shots missed the critical components and it was still running despite the new cooling. Cops hauled him away whilst still frothing at the mouth about his PC.

    This, of course, does nothing to resolve a hung task because the computer is off to the side.

    I had that sweatshirt, desk, bookshelf, PC case, and ceiling light. I didn’t have the gun or I’d be freaking out.

    I’m the cloud infrastructure business we like to call that the 9mm test. It’s quite effective.
