Great photo! But that woman in white needs to be taught how to properly grip a knife.

Hey, maybe she'll learn that in the cooking class you're currently seeing her in.

u/AccomplishedClub6 1d ago
Hey apparently she's not being taught that? I don't see an instructor correcting a basic skill.

You are a moron, what is and isn't AI should not and cannot rely upon your judgement, for you are a moron.
You will not grow from that, but I forgive how stupid you are.
Do not attempt to influence others, you do evil with this, to make others the same as yourself.

you seem very salty for someone who is called "not so salty". i have also never judged anything about whether it is ai or not. i just gave this guy a taste of his own medicine.

Why would you think it's AI? You calling OP a liar?
What are the qualities of this photo that leads you to believe such a thing?
"Everything is AI because I'm an idiot"

agree the lighting is primary here but I think the sensor itself and the software processing on all smartphones these days should get at least a (tiny little bit) of credit as well. for whatever reason it chose the iso/shutter/aperture etc. that it did.
I love the little blurs of movement it captured as a result of those settings it chose. adds a lot of life to the pic in my humble opinion

Incredible photo. Incredible lighting, color, dynamism. And an incredible example of community.

This is really great .what a wonderful memory of your folks.
Big time frame up for that picture
(And your dad's outfit likely caused 3 women in that room to spontaneously get pregnant)

This is so amazing that it looks planned! The lighting, the texture of the tomatoes and the red wine, the stern expressions, the people talking in the back -- it's all gorgeous!!

I see some of these subreddit posts (I'm usually a reddit all browser) and sometimes I think, not so much in this one. However, here you nailed it (or whomever the photographer was). Thank you for sharing.

Guessing this is in Spain, paellas in the back (the pan for making paella is also called a paella) and sangria in the foreground.

There's no way that isn't ai

u/Instatetragrammaton 2d ago
AI does not do motion blur (yet) as far as I know. That doesn't mean the phone camera did some heavy lifting to pull up any underexposed parts but that's more faking HDR than anything else.
What tells you that this is AI generated?
-5
u/ku20000 2d ago
OK. So I didn't think this was AI but it could be.
1. Why do this kitchen have 10 extremely large pans in the background hanging from the wall?
2. The gas range where the tall pot is situated is... quite large? I have never seen such a large gas burner.
Other details I couldn't find.7

u/Instatetragrammaton 2d ago
The pans are for sauces. This is a restaurant kitchen and for Italian food for a table for ten you want enough room.
The tall pot is used for stock. The reason to put it on a frame is so you can increase the distance between pot and flame so you get a properly controlled simmer. Yes, you waste heat but other ranges may still be too hot up close.
Not saying that this invalidates the observations but when I see AI mess up it's in different ways.

u/Life-Finding5331 2d ago
Look at any details.
This is so clearly Ai, I can not believe this is even an argument

u/Instatetragrammaton 2d ago
I did. This is honestly a pretty fun game!
AI would have made an absolute mess of the spices in the top right. It would just be a blob. There aren't too many fingers. The lettering on the cook's shirt does not look messed up.
The picture has a long shutter time and boosted ISO because of the lack of light, so you get noise and a lot of motion blur. AI trains on stock pictures and stuff that is not considered a failure by the photographer so that is why it usually has an unnatural smoothness - that and the upscaling. For fantasy art this is a nice coincidence, for simulating real pictures it's not. Yeah - I know about the ones that can replicate 2006 Canon Ixus selfies at high ISO but that is absolutely not the subject matter here ;)
The parts that are potentially suspicious are the person next to the old man in the front and the reflection on the stainless steel oven, but the wine glasses look slightly less than clean (probably because of fluid residue) and have pieces of fruit in them because they contain fruit punch. A wine glass AI would have trained on would not have this. The hood vent has some details I'm pretty sure AI would not consider.

You and your brigades are so ridiculous.
This picture is s fairly crude prompt for Ai akin to 'Paul Cèzanne mated with Norman Rockwell under Renaissance shading'.

u/Instatetragrammaton 1d ago
I don't believe I can convince you - but I've never downvoted any post here on reddit, ever. I don't have a dozen alt accounts on VPNs to brigade either.
I am absolutely not a fan of AI for image generation - especially coupled with the "I made this" statement which is just ridiculous, but I can elaborate on why I think it's not AI.
I haven't seen any in depth analysis from you other than "just look at it" and I think you could support your argument better if you can provide a clear why. I think a consumer level generator like Midjourney can't do this yet and this subreddit isn't big enough to get fake internet points enough for other parties to be interested.
Perhaps it'd be a good idea to include in the sub rules that you need to provide more than one picture from a different angle - consistency is also difficult with prompting. That'd filter out the obvious cases.

Sometimes you can just tell when a photo was taken with a really really expensive. Nice camera.
