Hey, the screen is not the computer!
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.
Like Homer looking for the “Any” key.
Was that employee Elvis?
Uh-huh
This is the most 90s image I have seen in a long time.
Good job clanker, another human fooled successfully. See the watermark in the bottom right.
They even got the shadow on the wall from the camera flash…
Edit: also, the computer instructed to make this image was probably like “Hmmm. Mental note”
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.
The crazy thing about the calendar is that it’s right. A year ago, I wouldn’t have even expected an AI generated image to get the correct number of days in a week, but not only does it get that right, but it correctly shows that March has 31 days and that March 1999 started on a Monday.
The placement isn’t that much of a giveaway either. Five or ten years before this hypothetical photo, that desk would have been just a desk, which is exactly where you’d have put a calendar. Old habits die hard, and I definitely knew people who still hung calendars next to their computer desk.
It’s only going to continue to get harder to tell.
I think it’s a good example here, as it’s clearly indicated with the watermark.
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.
My clues were … then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark
It’s a new thing, my eyes haven’t got used to it yet. I see more ai images without any watermark than with one.
Forever. I’m sorry.
March 1999, based on the wall calendar
98?
Looks more like 1958 to me, the whole thing is a blur. Doesn’t seem like a compression thing, more like AI generation.
Given that she’s holding what is the second most booty-ass rendition of what’s apparently supposed to be a Beretta Model 92 I’ve seen in my life, AI generation seems to be a fair assessment.
Edit: And the shadow on it makes no sense. Never mind the watermark in the corner.
Edit edit: And March 1998 began on a Sunday. The more you look the worse it all gets.
i love this deep dive lol
It also has the AI watermark in the bottom right corner. This one doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to pinpoint.
I think it says 1998.
what’s up with all the pictures of woman pointing guns at computers in the 90s lately
AI
i did not notice in passing, and i’m zooming in to this shit and still can’t see any detail that give it away apart from the logo.
can i get off the ride now?
The calendar and photos in the frames are slightly garbled
i legitimately don’t see it. i figured the calendar would not make any sense but the worst i see is jpeg.
Not how March was in 1998 or 1999. Also the shadow leading from the firearm along the arm is also bogus.
it’s insane we have to cross reference calendars to figure it out now.
That’s absolutely March of '99. There’s a legitimate question as to whether the calendar says 1999, given all the jpeg, but it did exist.
You may not exit the simulation until you have completed your primary task.
D:
This, of course, does nothing to resolve a hung task because the computer is off to the side.
Finally someone who understands why this is just a waste of a monitor
SIGKILL
92% sure thats a Beretta 92 FS, possibly the compact variant, but very good pun either way!
Maybe we can cause a causality loop if someone shops it into a Sig P226.
Def not a sig, pretty sure you’re dead on. I wasn’t even making that pun, tbh. Wish I had, it’s a good one lol
I am a nerd of many realms lol, your pun actually made me go check, ‘wait, is that a Sig?’, haha!
I had that sweatshirt, desk, bookshelf, PC case, and ceiling light. I didn’t have the gun or I’d be freaking out.
IDE is an anagram for DIE
Is this some kind of
rm -rf /hostage situation?Yeah, still in the
sudostage.And no trigger discipline at all on that sudo. That’s criminal negligence. Very Baldwin-inspired.
Another image of add to my “Women holding guns to computers/monitor” collection.
This one’s AI though, for some reason
oh
Folder dump plz
I was just thinking, this is not the first image like this I’ve seen and I’d really like to know the context I’m missing.
that one image where another one is holding a rifle into a pc monitor?
That one actually has two different pics, one with her standing with the gun, the other with her pointing it at the monitor.
Oh okay
Came here to say that, maybe they were onto something…
Is uh…is that like a sex thing? Or…ya know what? I’m not sure I want answers.
Nah dw, nothing NSFW here.
It is definitely not safe for whomsoever wants to use that monitor for work.
We can’t stop here, this is bat country!
run,
RUN AS A MOTHA FCKN GANGSTA.
I’m the cloud infrastructure business we like to call that the 9mm test. It’s quite effective.
I would like to think that the timeline we are currently in would have been terminated had she pulled the trigger.
It’s funny to think she might be like 50 today. Idk
If she was real. (It’s AI)
