I didn’t think I’d have to point this out, but this is not Alice Huang, the alleged Chinese spy and Jensen Huang’s, er, love interest (yes they share the same name).
This is a Korean singer called Elliye, the pic is from a 2017 instagram post and is known for the “last thing you see before leaking state secrets” meme.
It’s AI slop, the card on the table is the usual AI gibberish text.
Edit: it’s a real image from a Korean instagram model’s page, but an AI edit of the image was shared with me yesterday which is why I thought it wasn’t real. Either way, she’s not the honeypot.
This is the source, from 2017:

EDIT: Ah, I see you already realized this.
I think i remember this meme from before ai
Zoom in on the card. I also checked tineye and it says the oldest match is from summer of 2023
It’s possible the image was edited with AI but that’s a Korean dr. Pepper can.
The original image is from 2017, I posted it here: https://crazypeople.online/comment/12281114
Maybe people are using AI to add captions who knows
The version my friends sent to me yesterday was definitley edited with AI; in the post you provided the card says Hello Merrymonder which is a Korean fashion brand whereas my copy it’s gibberish. Guess I should have dug further for an original.
Just curious, what process did you use to turn up her Instagram post?
Yeah, I’d say the version you got has been upscaled and had the canvas expanded by AI. I see, for instance, that the can’s size labeling has been changed to the American version, the Hangul below the logo looks wrong, and the “Hello” goes slop at exactly the point where the original picture cuts off.
What a strange choice to burn tokens on.
Some interfaces use fixed aspect ratios, so perhaps the diffusion model automatically outpainted the original image from the bottom to make the edit, even if that wasn’t the intent.
OP’s image uses the correct aspect ratio though.
I am surprised it got some of the text right it used to be an all around crap for texts. Before that it used to be shadows and before that the fingers. Fucking hell it is going to be indistinguishable from a real photo if it goes like this.
Well, it’s already easy to make a visually convincing fake photo if you’re motivated to do so. For this picture, some local models do make more convincing text, but if the angle and stylization are still too much, you could also just remove the tell entirely by asking for the napkin to be removed, replaced with another object, or changed to a flat color, floral design, etc. Tells only still exist at the point because the prompter either doesn’t care or doesn’t know.
It’s getting a lot more challenging to tell; certainly not immediately obvious like it used to be
Hmm. It appears that someone “outpainted” from the bottom. It mangled some of the text too (like the Dr. Pepper can).
But the source is real. That image you posted is basically a bad photoshop, but OP’s meme appears to use the real source.
Her sweater blends right into her hand.
Some sweaters can look like that, especially in low-contrast colors and slightly blurry photos.
You know what? I’d be willing to concede that point after a second look. But a lot of the text is definitely AI.
Take a peek at the rest of this thread. There’s a version of the photo that’s been edited with AI, but mostly it’s just JPEG-rot on an English-speaking influencer’s carefully staged pic from 2017 in an upscale Seoul neighborhood.
This one
People have begun confusing vintage instagram slop with AI slop. Sam and Dario must be very proud.
It’s not
She’s not the honeypot, she’s a honeypot.

Look at the “text” below the dr pepper logo too, dunno why you are getting downvoted by horny neckbeards.
I have noticed a lot of people on here lately crying wolf suggesting something is AI with no clear justification of why, idk maybe that’s why.
It’s because the truth is often nuanced.
In this case, there are diffusion edited version of the real image (and original meme) floating around, but the source is real. And the edits are pretty close, more akin to a bad photoshop job.
It’s literally a pre-AI meme from a real influencer.
