    Lmao what?, I don’t think OP generated the image (with the legible & intelligible watermarks) - I do think OP (or whoever made the meme if it wasn’t OP) grabbed an AI upscaled an image to use for this meme, the same one that product uses.

      For someone so hellbent on inquisitioning people for AI heresy you sure are bad at it. It’s a model released in 2005, which you could also easily check in ok, maybe 20 seconds, but you just doubled down.

        “For someone so hellbent on inquisitioning people for AI heresy” - I spent one sentence calling out a pretty obviously upscaled image. I didn’t double down particularly hard, and I’ll happily admit I was just wrong that it wasn’t initially generated. You might wanna dial down the melodrama just a tad.

        Seriously, there are plenty of visible upscaling artifacts:

        (See also the grid in the smoke, the guy in the front left with three hands, etc…)

        FWIW I’m sorry I called it AI generated - it just used the way more acceptable version of AI and I got it wrong - but can we talk about how insane your reaction just now was? Because that’s hilariously extreme reaction to what is a minor thing.

        further:

        For reference here is the earliest HD version I can find of the original image used: You can see that the smoke is not fucky and geometric (although it is stripey, which I guess is why the AI did that), the dirt doesn’t have random shapes in it, the wheels in the detonated tank are round (and aren’t bunched together)

        What’s in the meme has pretty clearly been fucked with by AI. Original image is sick though, even though the KV-2 still sucks.

          You started nitpicking entirely unrelated topic, seems that some AI live rent free in your brain. And now you’re tripling down.

            (Wait, what entirely unrelated topic was I nitpicking? Genuinely confused, sorry)

            You’re welcome to address the “triple down” if you want - I only included it to explain the reasoning in the initial callout (i.e. the image has multiple clear artifacts of AI use - I was just wrong about the reason those artifacts happened). Apologies if you see that as a continuation of the hellbent inquisition but I am genuinely grateful for the more level-headed response.
