Cool! Who's the artist? I don't recognize "DDC."

@nobilis I don't know. I'm sure I saw this years earlier, so I presume it's a Photoshop rather than AI, but that's all I know.

@sjvn @nobilis Google's reverse image search can't find any similar images older than a year.

Also, those glyphs have AI slop written all over them.

Happy to be proven wrong though.

@jkirk @sjvn @nobilis it looks like Deep Dream Generator work unfortunately.

@sjvn @nobilis The earliest copy of the image tineye.com could find is a year old (dates back to august 2024) and it doesn't have that DDC watermark ... Link

/ME still believe it's AI generated.

@aelaraji Google did slightly better and traced it back to July 28 2024 on both LinkedIn[1] and some French social site[2].

Neither mention the original source of the image or how it was created. Both have the watermark.

@jkirk @aelaraji It’s the kind of quality @NanoRaptor makes (by hand).
