That’s probably the most real.person you’ll ever see in your life…
pity it’s not real
At least it’s wearing (under)pants.
Diogenes never died
Bradsquatch sighting.
Christ on a bike.
That’s Gandalf on his day off.
Alan Moore
And he still wont sign anything.
A guy with style
Winter is coming
At least it’s not AI slop.
I’m not sure about that, but it does have motion blur in the background, so unless it’s a fancy setup that tracks the movement of the subject, it was not an automatically triggered shot.
Obviously it’s still fake or set up to some degree.
But he has the right number of fingers!
I swear this image has been around for ages, way before AI could generate anything this well
It looks upscaled or something though. And did the guy always look like that? 🤔 I easily may be misremembering of course.
The scary/annoying part is, from now on there’ll always be a little voice in our head ask: is it AI?
If you look at the frame of the bike, around where the rear shock is, it doesn’t look right. Also, the scale is off, this dude would be ridiculously tall if this was a normal sized bike. Look at the size of the seat, for example.
It’s a Specialized S-Works Epic - a high-end cross-country bike. With the saddle dropped, I think any normal sized rider would look the same.
Check out the 9-minute mark on this video for a comparison - I don’t know if it’s the same version of the bike, but it should be comparable.
Is it?
Look at the frame. It makes no sense. The front wheel has both disk brakes and caliper brakes, but the bars have no brake levers. The front disk with different slots on one side. I could go on. On the other hand, there is a bike that looks like this, so I’m not sure any more. That front disk is definitely not right.
I’ma gonna go with not AI on this one, even the motion blur seems to be ok, idk
Those are usual inconsistencies and errors and artifacts, and a healthy amount of incapability to explain what you don’t know. Those have existed since long before AI.
I’ve seen this picture many many years ago, before stable diffusion was a thing.
front disk appearance is caused by motion blur and narrow focus.
Mate you’re confusing mtb suspension parts for brakes and slop. The brake handles on these are short to be used with just a couple fingers and angled downwards.
Edit: yeah, that’s exactly the kind of bike I meant.
As for the brake disc looking funny, it is similar to photographing a fan or helicopter blades. Unless your exposure is extremely short it warps the shape a little bit due to the speed of rotation.
After seeing the price of the bike I can see why he can’t afford to wear clothes
Sasquatch has some dough on him
So this is not AI but an AD?
I’m gonna need some evidence for that.
It doesn’t look like AI. The bike and everything makes sense. I can even read S-WORKS on the frame.
It’s not AI, it’s from the specialized EVO ad campaign like 5 years ago.
lol what an edit without telling people that you originally said it was AI slop without making that note in your comment
Who, me? 😇
German Twitch streamer Knirpz 50 years into the future is who that is. The crocs are clear giveaway.
I remember that commercial
Finally a good picture of Bigfoot.
I don’t know, but they have more money to burn than I do.
I really want to know the original context of the photo. I suspect the face and hair are prosthetic and it’s a younger rider doing something like a Jackass skit; like you say, the bike is easily upwards of $10k.
