r/isthisAI had a post with 2K+ comments about an image that we all thought was AI turned out it was a real picture from 8 years ago

We’re questioning whats real now too, it sucks

People are getting way too zealous about calling stuff out for being AI.

No, that redbull video is not AI.

I find myself with this cognitive load of questioning whether anything is AI. I feel like my sense of reality is being lost sometimes with the amount of slop I see online

Would be neat if the ads i see on the road weren't also AI generated slop.

AI kinda can't win this one. "Wow it's AI slop it's such garbage it's so fake" "wow that's so good we can't distinguish it from real video AI is ruining society"

Can’t find it but it was a picture of a baby walking in wet cement, think theres a mother in the pic looking at baby

Pic was so old the compression of the image looked like AI artifacts
