“I NEED TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE I CAN’T TAKE A LOAD OF TWO BY FOURS ON A BIKE!!!”

*buys car*

*does shit like this*

It’s the pickup, a car designed to carry shit, that is struggling to carry shit that does it for me. Do American DIY shops not do Home Delivery?

You know this picture is fake right?

You’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth. If the truck’s absurd fake crunch isn’t obvious enough for people at least recognize the car behind it blending into the clip art quality wood layer.

That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets
Show threadForensicFartSep 27, 2024
This helped a lot, what I thought was the blending of the car behind especially. Thanks for correcting me

Yeah, 3 out of 4 AI generated fodder and the 4th is using some weird downscale that manages to also give off AI vibes… I can understand the impression myself…
Show threadKrauerkingSep 27, 2024
Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.
Show threadChanchoMancoSep 27, 2024
Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.
Show threadKrauerkingSep 27, 2024
Interesting. I think that does seem like a legit way to get stuff that looks like this.

Guys, you’re thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It’s not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they’ve just been JPEGed into oblivion
Show threadKrauerkingSep 27, 2024

Yeah but I have JPEG’d a photo a lot and never seen the text get that swirly. It feels purposeful.

But, never ascribe malice when the more likely answer is stupidity. You are probably right.

I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

Absurd fake crunch? Dude the bed is meant to support the weight you aren’t supposed to put a pallet on the bare aluminum frame like that. It’s exactly how it crunches when people put heavy things across the top of their bed like that.
Trucks aren’t magical. They still have limits.
Show threadForensicFartSep 27, 2024
Ya’ll are right, I know how beds work but that original picture is so crunchy it looks fake without having seen the higher res image that _bcron posted. The post was funny but that particular shot just stood out funny to me, glad to be corrected

I have no idea how they managed to make the photo look AI generated with compression and it now has me thinking it’s literally gonna be a style to make real photos look like that, like someone predicted at the start of the AI generated movement.
Show threadjj4211Sep 27, 2024
I think it was more how weird the downscale looked for that one, along with being posted next to AI generated ones.
Show threadKrauerkingSep 27, 2024
I still wonder if it was purposefully done to make them look AI generated cause I have compressed photos to 144p and they don’t look that warped and fluid. Like they fed it backwards through an AI generator.
