@FabMusacchio I don't know, I've seen some pretty bad tile jobs :)

oh this is a neat trick, I usually look for distorted writing and other small detail, but latest AI models are getting better at those

@FabMusacchio Also, what's with the chains? And look at the left thumb on front and center guy.

@FabMusacchio I would be more tolerant in the first example with the soldiers, because many builldings are not build perfectly straight or remain like that. If there is only a small error, it would not be a strong indicator for a fake. Of course, this doesn't apply to the other examples.

@FabMusacchio Perhaps they came to arrest the tiler?

@FabMusacchio damn, this is why they taught us math? To find the deep fakes posing as truth?

@FabMusacchio in the first picture, the lines may be off by measurements inaccuracies. a mirror image depends on a perfect mirror on the physical mirror. and the shadows may be off by camera lens distortion.

@FabMusacchio Flat-earthers will not understand this

@FabMusacchio @peterdrake In so-called AI-generated or OCR-based image descriptions, AI is often spelled Al.

@FabMusacchio soldier faces behind front ones are melting as well. But this is more scientific approach and will work all the time

@FabMusacchio In the third photo, the second paragraph of added text contradicts the first paragraph. (The first paragraph is correct, and the second is false. What is wrong is not a slightly inconsistent vanishing point, it is that the shadows are at visibly different angles in the first place. There should be no measurable vanishing point at all.)

@FabMusacchio Another group of lines I often follow is from the knees, and from the backbone/visible parts of hip, towards the hip joints.
Years of anatomical drawing lessons paying of.

@FabMusacchio so basically you can determine if an image is a fake using parallel lines

@FabMusacchio Plus, in the first photo, those lines of "moving" soldiers are just a little too perfect. Nobody can march in formation without *some* deviation.

@FabMusacchio What is wild to me is that any photoshopper worth their salt in 2005 wouldn't have screwed the lighting or reflections up.
