Thank you for thinking of me, but my thing is just genuine old photos, not AI generated stuff. ❤️

Oh, is that AI? Damn! How do you tell?

The light source seems to be coming randomly from all over the place, the girl is weirdly smooth even though other bits of texture are far too high-res for a photo from the general period, the thing they're standing at is confusing - like a porch railing but it looks like a step?

Wait, you're saying this sellers postcards aren't genuine?

😂

Why has she merged into the floor so seamlessly...horrific. Absolutely terrifying.

Additional:

‘tiny eye is always crawling’ please no

her left hand is very weirdly flat too

I’ll admit that’s one of the better ones I’ve seen. Usually I don’t have to zoom in to tell it’s AI; once I did, it was obvious.

also, look closely at where the cat and the girl touch. that ... doesn't make logical sense.

Yep. I was looking at it on my phone while drowsing, but on close inspection, it’s obvious!

The pervasiveness of AI being passed off as genuine is really tiresome 😐

honestly, that's one of the better ones i've seen. it's *so close* and definitely fools at first glance.

I wouldn’t have caught it myself, but now that you’ve pointed it out I notice that the numbers in the lower left corner aren’t quite right

Her hair can't decide if it's in front of or behind the cat, and the number in the bottom left has been mangled in the way AI does because it doesn't understand characters

You folks are so much more observant than I am.

I think a lot of us are primed to look for the tells now
