Ironically the writing looks kinda AI generated lol
it is AI generated.
Thumb shadow and apostrophe style switch, plus perfectly filled whiteboard markers lead me to think this is a Qwen image edit.
They trained their model on text added to images, so it often pops above background stuff.
Plus this is an uncommonly shaped whiteboard marker to get this rounded style, and there are no lift marks.
There’s nowhere that the opera house and Harbor bridge line up like that without something else being in frame.
Or he’s old enough to be able to been schooled in handwriting?
it’s AI
This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation “AI” now because they can’t tell the difference?
Sadly yes.
Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI
That slapped me right across the face, the company that makes the shit CAM software I use has been busy shoveling AI into every crack for the last year instead of addressing the decade’s worth of actual user requests.
I hate everything about it.
So why is it AI generated?
Because AI is a boomer technology. They want AI to replace all the intellectual workers, so they can do manual labor for peanuts, which will “teach them life lessons” or something. Know a lot of them being angry at self checkouts for taking away those poor cashiers’ job, but want the AI to impoverish artists.
Why his hands do that? Why bridge go nowhere?
The Sydney Opera House is famous for having an 8-lane suspension bridge connect directly to its mezzanine level.
That is actually one of the more believable things about the image. It’s totally possible to take a photo of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge behind it like that, but the giveaway is that the place on land where you can get that angle is further away and doesn’t look like it does in this picture. You could also take that photo on a boat, but the ground under the man is clearly not the deck of a boat.
Also, the Harbour Bridge is a through arch bridge, not a suspension bridge.
Look’s like AI generated
The reinforcing structure of the bridge in the back looks super wonky. Calling AI with certainty
His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.

Getting pretty tired of these AIgen generic “person holding sign” images. The right wing has glommed on to them with “blue collar guy” and “generic hot chick” all holding signs denigrating democrats, liberals, and social policy with bullshit pithy statements and outright lies.
Yeah whenever I see them I think what story are they trying to tell? Are we supposed to believe that this man decided, right, I want to post something online about $TOPIC, so I’ll get my whiteboard, write my post on that, go to the harbour, get someone to take a photo of me holding it up, and then I’ll upload that photo online so people can see what I think?
It’s like youtube videos, apparently people don’t understand what it is about if there isn’t a big face in it.
this is fucking AI lol
Don’t worry. We’re working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.
I get and agree but I don’t go to a cashier for human connection. I do however want humans paid
Humans can be paid without slowing down my grocery shopping. Just pay them to stay home and let me efficiently pay for my food and go.
I walked into a taco bell the other day. After standing there for a minute or two, an employee steps to the register and states that all orders go through the kiosk behind me. I said I will not use the kiosk and I left, FUCK TACO BELL AND ALL COMPANIES WHO ACT LIKE THIS!!!
Is that AI though?
McDonalds has had self ordering for a long time and I love it.
When I see teenagers using these things I wonder. What will their first job be once the rest of the store is automated?
Actually, I wouldn’t mind supermarket without cashiers. I’ll be my own, thank you very much.
And soon after that, you’ll be stocking your own shelves, then you’ll be driving the forklift in the back store…
Growing your own food!
I like self checkouts, I like not having to talk to people. Just easier on my very autistic brain.
Still should be plenty of regular checkout lanes too.
yeah I would love a life without human conection…but thats just me and I have mental issues lol
We should definitely change our whole society because a minority have not been socialized properly.
I’m old. I was socialized properly, I just don’t like to spend my low energy arguing with people like you because we are different. If people were nice to each other it wouldn’t take so much energy. I prefer machines
We are not different, that is just an excuse. I have grandkids already for Christ sake.
We should not be encouraging social disconnection in our society and become dependent on machines.
I get it, they are more convenient for YOU. But at what cost to everyone else?
Like I was saying, just because we have a bunch of people who have not been socialized doesn’t mean we should be encouraging it with technology.
You say you are old, but you personalize like a teenager still.
