    Photo with the “Notice” sign.
    Looks like AI generated.

    I checked it by few AI detectors, it’s human made.

      Where does one find these AI detectors? That seems like something useful.

      I do think it might be a side effect of a upscaling algorith. It’s what enables the smartphone cameras to take high-res pictures, but it can struggle at times.

        I looked at it again, and I’m leaning toward it being upscaling, as this guy seems legit, but I’ll move the pic here and put a new one as the head post pic.

          Yeah I think that’s just upscaling, the janky letters above prohibited clearly read “DISCHARGING OF FIREARMS”

            The text looks too “natural” compared to AI gibberish text, but it does look AI “corrected.”

            With the distance of some of these shots and how much they have to crop them, it wouldn’t shock me.

            I appreciate everyone’s sharp eyes though, I don’t want to post any complete fakes by accident. I try to vet my sources to ones that seem reliable, but I’m not a photographer or Photoshop/Lightroom guru, so I don’t want anyone to not point stuff out if they spot it.

            I know we get into shades of gray with things like composite images you guys have educated me about and some people really tweak colors and we can edit out branches and such, and the line between real and fake gets blurry. It doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate some of these things, but people should be transparent about it.

          Yeah I think that’s just the funkiness of the light hitting a very 3-D object and more of a 2-D one at the same time.
