A viral photo of a guy smoking in McDonald's is completely fake — and of course made by AI::Look at the fingers. You always have to look at the fingers

Or the sign at the top.

"MODLIDANI"

Or the fact that he's apparently cut the chest out of his t-shirt, while his vest doesn't wrap around the back of his torso.

As someone who grew up in a white trash landfill, that's probably the least suspicious thing

[–] grabyourmotherskeys 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn't look closely and thought "yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I'd be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he's probably one of my cousins".

This is 100% accurate.

I only learned it was fake today, from this post. I mean, I see all the little details now, but before I just assumed someone found an old picture of their dad and wanted some internet points. There's part of me that sees the humor in gettin got, but it's a nervous laugh for how easily I got got. Near future's gonna be wild

It was the fashion at the time /s

Right... at the time...

Puts down scissors and undershirt

[–] grabyourmotherskeys 2 points 11 months ago

Leg warmers are back.

I think that's pretty bad ass actually.

Nicely done, that's hilarious. The current state of "AI" is deeply embarrassing and massively over-hyped. Maybe a few trillion more dollars of funding will do the trick...

Don't underestimate the ability of someone selling denim jackets with white t-shirt sleeves sewn into them.

That was the second thing I saw. The first was the weird fries box with a straw, heh

[–] TexasDrunk 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don't get the limited edition fry box and drink the salt out of the bottom?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Man, I was alive during the '80s but missed my chance.

[–] w2tpmf 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least that looks like letters. Check out the Coca-Cola cup.

I think we need AI generated protest signs to hang from bridges just to mess with people.
