I had no idea these tomatoes start the process at the size of a small sedan.
Yeah, they’re put there by a tomatow-truck.
I’ve climbed that volcano and ate the best damn tomatoes in my life at a little restaurant about half way to the summit.
“Everything reminds me of her!”
At first glance I thought this was an AI generated pic of some nonsense again. I think the internet fried my brain.
Something doesn’t work out photographically, the distant tomatoes are way too big. The sharpness is fucky, too
The distant ones look way farther away than they actually are because the shelf is a little bit higher. Makes the edge of it look like a path or something
Seems legit enough to me. The next rack of tomatoes would only be ~2m away after all given the gaps between rows aren’t going to be massive. Pretty sure the sharpness issues are primarily from repeated JPEG recompression data loss - you can find a better quality version of the image by searching ‘carmine spina tomatoes’ which both looks less compressed in the far ground and dates from at least 2022 (so before mass popularity of AI generation).
Can you link to the better version? Every version I’ve seen is exactly the same and I’m pretty sure it’s AI generated. If you study it, none if it actually makes sense.
The one I was thinking of is this one from a Facebook page, but looking around a bit more there’s also this one from someone’s instagram. The instagram one is mainly notable because it dates the image back further to at least 2021, making it even more unlikely to be AI generated.
The common attribution appears to be this Instagram account but google images didn’t show me one from that account when looking for other version of the photo and I’m not about to make an instagram account in order to scroll through years of photos looking for the potential original.
You might be right. But my theory is that the “watermark” is typical almost-legible AI gibberish text (it almost looks like it says “Photography” but does it really?) and that it’s pulling from similar looking images in the training data, like when it tries to slap a Getty Images watermark on an output image.
the watermark is the photographer’s name, here’s the high res picture and some other angles taken from his facebook page
Okay, maybe they’re real. We may never know for sure! ;)
The watermark is noticeably more readable in the Facebook image I linked though, and it does say photography (even there it is somewhat blurred though, so assuming it was actually clear in the original source that copy is a few recompressions along the chain).
The dates of the other sources however are what really convinces me it’s not AI. After all, who was doing good quality photorealistic AI image generation in 2021?
Do they export all of their flies to Mexico or something?
I’d be so annoyed at people casually labelling my photography of being AI generated and then casually being all "oopsie I guess it’s not".
Pomodoro
That is incredibly neat.
They don’t - it adds to the flavour.
People don’t think it be like it is. But it do.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sometimes it don’t be like that,
But sometimes, it do
they dont
