  • Well I couldn’t not know what she was was reading especially after the book was deliberately (poorly) blurred out in post for this and other images in the set). So after fumbling my way around the Cyrillic alphabet and ultimately just reverse image searching the picture on the back cover, I found it!

    The book is a Russian print of A French Novel by Frédéric Beigbeder (Source). No clue if it’s any good, but I’m content to have tracked it down.






  • Yes Ai is a big scary boogyman, it’s coming for our jobs, our art, and our porn, but for the love of god, can we please stop making unsubstantiated claims about what is and isn’t AI generated?

    This picture has been on the internet since at least October 2021, the text is clear, background objects have continuity behind the subject, the light/ shadows all track, and model appears to be as anatomicaly correct as any other human (no extra fingers, wierd collar bones/ shoulder blades, etc). I will concede that her skin is on the smoother side, which could be the result of image manipulation (ie a software filter), a byproduct of the image resolution/ compression, or just a good skincare routine. That said, being pretty and having smooth skin are incredibly weak grounds to classify an image as AI generated.

    Also, here’s as close as I can get to a Source for now.













  • Huh, the article said it’s a mix of AI and Photoshop, so I’d be interested in seeing what the studio’s workflow looks like. Some of the images are really convincing at first glance; If I really look, details like the light direction/ shadow and the boundary area of clothing hints start to look off. It’s impressive (and somewhat terrifying) how much they’ve managed to avoid the uncanny valley.

    In this case, I was mainly going off the fact that the model has videos that don’t have any ai generation hallmarks. Digging a little deeper, looks like she’s also got a few photo sets and videos on YouTube from a few years ago that make me inclined to believe that there’s an actual person in there somewhere.

    That said, thank you for the reminder to question everything.
