A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

There are some wild mental gymnastics happening in this thread, because people desperately want this to be AI. It’s just a photo from the top of the 4-story ICE building across the street, with a woman of normal size holding a home-made sign in front of a business that likely often receives graffiti. AI sucks, but not everything that sucks is AI.
Thank you for doing the homework. Normal photos can get very weird with perspective and lenses, and to say there's a handful of ICE fans in this world isn't much of a stretch. It's gross, but not necessarily AI.
Wouldn't put it past them to photoshop a sign, though I heard there's been small counter protests in the area just like there was in LA. They're a pretty small minority though, lol
While they could Photoshop a sign, its not like that same person couldn't just make that sign in the real world.
Strange in this era where people think the only "fake" would be using technology.
And of course as you say it's absolutely totally possible they have a sincere fan. People act like everyone not actually in on it must be good folk who hate this, but no....
I believed someone would do that, but I am wondering what utensil they used to make the sign, look at the R. Some of the letters look like brush strokes that went around a number of times, but the R doesn't make any sense for a paint brush. But I 100% believe there are racists in this country that want everyone who isn't their family and friends hurt, I've met many.
the combination of angle and focal length is jarring too. Makes the foreshortening difficult to comprehend. Guess it could be consistent with a cheap mobile phone.
It's a little funny that it looks like "AI" is painted on the sidewalk lol
