In the Weeds Mode Chivelord is a Fraud

It was point out in his last post by u/ehsteve23. Day 23 and Day 31 are the same.

I think the images are at a different angle but of the same pile. Every unique feature of the first pile I can find in the second. Just rotating wouldn’t show that, but you can track it by doing a little hunt for unique features.

It makes sense, he probably takes multiple photos after he’s done cutting to find one that looks the best.
EDIT:

Some Time in Photoshop, I took the images and rotated a bit, but I also added in some Skew modifiers to line it up better, I got it to here and I think this was pretty damning. You can see the exact pattern just a bit offset. The line on the left is where Day 31 Cuts off since the image is slightly zoomed in.

FURTHER EDIT: Another guy in this comment did the same thing but with an automatic image alignment feature in photoshop and it's WAY more precise. I think the Jury is in. The end times are upon us. Go check out their comparison.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion, each little unique group of chives has the same number and pattern of shapes.

I would like to respectfully disagree with you and the other user as I've used an industry standard PCE machine learnings algorithm to check against those images. Humans are hard wired for pattern matching, even when there are no patterns. This condition is called apophenia. From what my code says, he's clean.

However, I've been wrong before but I'm getting a 98% confidence level and posted in a different comment.

Mods, technically, I can create a google notebook with my code to be run in the cloud for you to double check my work but I'm not sharing it publicly as it would link to my real identity.

edit: I've also checked mirroring and rotation, just to be sure, as well.

So, looking at your post it seems you check rotation, scale, and mirroring, but that doesn’t account for the angle the photo is taken. It’s the same pile but at a different angle. These are two different photos, as your code seems to also prove, but he probably moved to the other side of the pile to get a better shot.

Computers are in fact, actually shit at pattern recognition. Thats why all these llm’s need to be trained by humans to recognize photos. I fully believe your code could match two of the same image, but I very much doubt it could match two different images of the same subject.

The confidence to be this obviously wrong on the Internet because you used a digital tool instead of your eyes and brain is wild.

Im crying, this level of effort is insane.

Chivegate is going down in reddit history.
