I don't think so, I think she just didn't think about it when posting for the pic
The hair + shadows all look convincing

The only two strawberries pictured are in the basket and in her hand, so that seems like a valid explanation.
She is just an idiot.
Edit: On further thought, maybe she is trying to feed the tree?
Wow, you just made me think of “The Integral Trees” by Larry Niven for the first time in like 30 years. “Feeding the tree” is a euphemism for 💩 in that book.
FEED ME STRAY CAT
maybe she is trying to feed the tree?
No maybe she's not that much of an idiot.
She's trying to feed an ant on the tree. (...about right level of idiot.)
Looks completely real. Might've been purposely wrong to drive engagement, or just didn't think people would look that close
The leaves also look consistent with the tree, but not identical or bleeding into each other. I also vote not artificial intelligence, but manual stupidity.
Maybe when she's done colouring her current book, she can start on one about fruit.
Also possible: the image looks better with her standing, rather than bent over while picking strawberries
Some people may disagree...
Everyone looks better bent over ;)
If only there were some kind of fruits that did in fact grow on trees. 🍎
What about steaks?
Spaghetti too
That BBC video is amazing and there's a couple of good documentaries about the whole thing. A fun rabbit hole to dive into.
Cows can't climb trees. You're thinking of goats. Ergo, goat milk comes from trees.
Totally depends on the angle. I'm sure that I could make it into an interesting picture.
This post is in itself a facepalm. Why is 'AI' the first thing everybody thinks of when they see an image they dislike / disagree with?
Yeah, it's becoming a boring trope response. I get we need to be aware of AI generated art, but not every single picture needs to be assumed as AI unless proven otherwise.
Funny that before 'AI generated images' it was 'photoshopping'. It's gotten so popular that Photoshopped images are now represented as 'AI' and vice versa.
It's mad when you think how quickly things have changed. Even a few years ago you'd find it an enormous task to persuade people that it was software that had produced a picture. Nowadays you'd have an equally hard task persuading them it wasn't.
I thought it may be AI because the lady is picking strawberries at face level. I'm only aware of strawberries that grow close to the ground.
Came to the comments to either confirm AI or learn something about strawberries. So far no luck with either but still reading.
I think it's just that the lady posing in the photo really doesn't know how strawberries work. (I would go so far as to guess that she doesn't know how a lot of things work.) She wanted to pose picking strawberries, which are a fruit, and fruits grow on trees, so she picked a random tree to pretend to pick them from. Who would even know the difference?
To me, that's the sort of thing people notice.
She knows enough about strawberries to get them from the store for the picture. She should also know they don't grow on trees. And there was probably one or more additional people there to handle the photography. Any one of them would know strawberries don't grow on trees.
AI on the other hand would easily make that assumption, especially art AI vs text AI.
You'd think that, but I've met plenty of people who are wholly ignorant about where food comes from in general. Sure it requires only one person to be ignorant if it was generated, but it is entirely plausible that both model and photographer didn't know. I don't have the chance to test it, but I would imagine that there are many pictures of people picking strawberries realistically in the training data and AI would probably only generate this if you were very specific about it being a tree.
The leaves look more like lime/lemon than either strawberry bush or strawberry tree (the fruit also looks like your good old extra hormonal strawberry coming from a commercial farm rather than being picked from a garden strawberry bush). Doesn't mean AI though it just means utter and complete bullshit
(the fruit also looks like your good old extra hormonal strawberry coming from a commercial farm
Correct. This is how honest home grown strawbees should look.
I have seen big strawberries growing at home, so I dont know what you are talking about.
They werent all perfectly shaped however
Yeah I'm fuckin around. This was from our first crop so lots of tiny things.
Bugs Bunny carrot machine ass produce.
Not AI. Lady just put some strawberries in a basket then held one up to a completely unrelated plant. She's even holding it with the leaves facing her palm. Very clearly not actually picking anything. Just stupids being stupid.
What if we kissed under the strawberry tree?
What is this, a kiss for ants!?
The strawberries in OP don't look like those tree strawberries. technically strawberries do grow on tree, but this photo is still poorly staged.
that does look like a bush strawberry though, in fact your good old super hormonal commercial farm strawberry
I used to pick these for fun as a kid.
This actually just looks like good old fashioned shitty photoshop. Probably an entry-level or low pay role at ‘Evie Magazine’
Even simpler: she had a basket of strawberries, picked one up and acted like she was taking it from the tree.
Strawberries do not grow on trees. This explains why they're so expensive.
Definitely threw me off for a moment there... my property has strawberries, definitely not growing on trees.
It must be ai because all humans know we were born to be capitalist slaves. Not enjoy nature and wear pretty dresses and fall in love. Doing any of those three things would interfere with our ability to be capitalist slaves.
A 9-5 job doesn't interfere with any of these things
