Because it is.
- The crew’s suits don’t look anything like that.
- The “balloons” on the top don’t look anything like that
- The capsule rides much higher in the water.
- The capsule doesn’t look anything like that (capsule from Artemis 1 but they didn’t change much).
Delete this AI slop.
You can see his fingernails too, but hes wearing gloves.
Its the HDR so in a sense it is fake due to the post processing but I don’t think its generated
No, this so obviously AI generated with all of the telltale signs. I’ll give it credit for 5 fingered hands but every other detail is absurd.
Newer professional SLR and mirrorless cameras don’t even need postprocessing and can shoot naively in HDR. My old 7D does it.
I’m horrified to tell you that it is still essentially post-processing, just done in-camera. There’s a reason these look unnatural.
Something’s not right though - as someone else posted below, the suit is wrong, the Artemis suits don’t have a zip down the front
Yeah it’s an AI generated photo, look at the badges on his suit, they’re just junk
He also has fingernails on his gloves.
Just checked the official NASA pics of the recovery - no zippers and different patch placement. This is AI.
Because it’s fake. Look at the nonsense patches on his flight suit
I have some theories.
I noticed on YouTube, mainly shorts, look like Ai. I noticed first from always sunny in Philadelphia clips because I know the original show didn’t look like that. And then I notice many other videos… Like the majority of the shorts.
My first thought was that “they” are trying to normalize Ai. This was within the past few months and, I don’t think I notice it as much more. So maybe they did do this and then backed away from the idea.
My second thought was that it’s some type of compression… But even that it stupid because it arguably looks worse any older compression.
I can’t think of reason for them to do this.
It really feels like they are normalizing it and gearing up for elections and propaganda.
There’s a lot of noise but it’s still “clean”. Like the cables at the top, the rust, the splashing, the guys in the back on the left. It’s the kind of shit AI models do to fake being real.
Because it is. Here are official NASA photos, notice how their badges are placed differently: https://www.nasa.gov/gallery/artemis-ii-splashdown-and-return/
Not only are they in different places the patches in OP’s picture aren’t clear The AI didn’t know what to put there so it just made something up that looks like it might belong as long as you don’t actually look at it.
And there‘s s zipper in the front?
Plus that looks more like an Apollo capsule, there is no door on the hatch and no float. One wave and the whole thing sinks. But they did get the number of fingers right.
Not shopped - AI slop.
FFS, who needs to make AI slop of news images? Clearly this is slop - the patches aren’t right, no zipper as @ElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zone mentioned, there’s no inflated ring at the water line…but WTF ghoulish slop bot is making these?
It do look like a painting, heh.
This is a great demonstration of where we are now in reality. A decade ago, this wouldn’t have been a problem; now, anyone not familiar with the details or able to check official information sees it as believable. I’m pretty sure there are now AI tools to detect if something is AI. We’re that deep in not being able to trust anything.
you should totally crosspost this to /c/conspiracy, you’ll get much more entertaining responses.
I’m still waiting for cool theories to pop up. It has been awfully quiet around this moon mission.
I don’t know if it happened on any of the other feeds, but we were watching the liftoff on ABC’s YouTube channel and they had the initial MTV camera for the engine blast. Once it got toasted by the engines going by, they cut to an outside shot where the rocket was still on the launchpad with no movement and no smoke or flames. I immediately thought “Oh fuck, the conspiracy nuts are gonna eat THAT up.”
I’m on it!
With this new trend of journalists using AI to conduct polls without consulting any real people, are we about to enter an age where journalists have AI simply generate an image of the event they’re reporting on so they can save $ on photography?
It’s fake but a pretty damn good one.
A good one? It’s incredibly sloppy.
Not mine, but found it quite fun
