I feel like a lot of people are taking the post too literally (or maybe I’m not). I once knew a girl who posted a photo of her dad watching football on a plane captioned “Persian dads really need their football lol” and it’s like. That’s just a universal dad thing. Lots of dads in every culture do that. Some people just do not think about cultures outside their own. Like, at all.

Honestly, it doesn’t look like AI to me. Funnily enough I think it’s exactly what the other reply said and it’s just badly photoshopped text on an existing image. But I do think their reasons for thinking it’s real are pretty terrible, and I still think the things I listed are sus, as they don’t look like typical artifacting to me. In particular the detail on the ceiling in the background is quite clear, and most other details seem to check out (the guy’s watch and clothes, people and stands in the background, etc). As a whole I would say it looks a bit uncanny just because of their poses and facial expressions, plus the weird design of the sign.

From left to right: The pattern on the tie is nonsensical and quite noisy The edge of the sign above and below the man’s arm is discontinuous. It’s parallel but it “breaks” The man’s ring is constricting the fuck out of his finger, and is also slightly offset from the finger’s position and angle Same as 2 but horizontally
