Background
If you haven't already, definitely read the thread by 
@ProterozoicBussy , "Sandshit's collective brain power comes together to fight against the IDF's AI photo" as it covers most of the intro information and it's a good read! (This is not a repost this is separate drama involving the same subject!!)
In this thread, we'll be covering about twitter user "hermitdeak" and his quest to prove that it is a real image to stubborn twitter users who are also probably r-slurred to some degree. 
Recently, AI Generated artwork has become good enough to where it can be hard to distinguish from real photos. 
This is especially prevalent after Bing Chat 
allowed it's users access to Dalle-3, which is better than pretty much every other one on the market (and for free! 
) (I made some badass images of goku smoking cigarettes in the dark 
)
AI artwork is one of the main enemies of Twitter right now, because it is harder for small artists to charge insane prices for dumb stuff, when now you can get it for free. Things are not looking up for Israel either. 
Intro: The Offending Photo
If you already read @ProterozoicBussy 's thread, this section will be re-treading most of it. Feel free to skim this or jump to the next section! 
It all started when Israel fan Hillel posted a photo of two IDF soldiers kissing.
: I have no idea who they are or what the back story is, but I love this photo.
To a normal person like us, this may look like any other photo. But to the trained twitter eye, this photo is CLEARLY AI Generated. And we HATE AI 
: Any particular reason as to why she has six fingers?
: The extra finger helps her count all the children she's murdered
: She doesn't that extra one you're seeing is just the other side of her pinky finger's knuckle We're so fricked if people think this is AI generated already
: Look at the gun. Simple.
: "I never saw this optic mount in Call of Duty so it isn't real"
Lot's of people smugpost about how they know it's AI and "they can always tell" (sounds like anyone we know? )
: No one shot this photo, it's AI. And bad AI at that.
Hillel was confused. There's no way this could be AI! 
so he reached out to the photographer for an answer...
: To all those who replied that this pic is AI, you are wrong. Just spoke to the photographer.
That was all the info he offered, so it's kinda his fault he got clowned on.
: Jewish girls are famous for having 6 fingers
Loads of twitterers smugpost about how obvious it is that it's AI: 
: Bait used to be believable, this is the most obviously AI-generated image I've seen in my life
Some people dial it back and say maybe it wasn't AI, but an edit of an old photo to change the location 
: Turns out it's actually not AI, but instead an absolutely shit Photoshop job.
Obviously he's right. This photographer took an old grainy photo, used photoshop to somehow magically upscale it, change the background, and then slightly modify the poses.
This is the dumbest take I've ever seen in my life. How stupid do you have to be to think that is remotely possible or even worth the effort?? Now I'm the one raging 
Our hero: hermitdeak
After a long and brutal day if getting clowned on, it's discovered that the photo was REAL??? 
But it was so confidently AI?? 
One Twitter user, Hermitdeak, found the Instagram of the photographer, and the image was posted early 2022, way before AI could get anywhere near as close to real as it is now.
: GUYS GUYS shut up I found the photographer. He's been a professional photographer for years, well before AI, and he took this photo in early 2022, before AI could even produce in image like this.
Frick Israel and free Palestine, but we really didn't need to argue about this for 6 hours
Some people don't believe him though 
And this is when we get to the fun part:
Hermitdeak losing his sanity trying to argue with morons 
Fight Fight Fight 
: It's just a bad photoshop of a different image. The picture was originly taken under a tree, he took them out and put them on a city street and gave her a nonexistant gun to hold
: It's not a nonexistent gun and besides the poses, which aren't even the exact same, there is nothing similar about the 2 pictures when it comes to their outfits and folds of their clothes and whatnot. Occam's Razor, a photographer took a picture
: No gun looks like that. The strap is locked to an iron sight and it has a scope mounted on it crooked. Again, photoshop, clothing folds. Image editing programs have used algorithms to fill in and upscale details like that for years. Unedited photos don't look like this
: Yes IDF's guns do look like this. They use a crane mount to attach optics to their old outdated M4's. As for the sling attached to the carry handle, that's the stupid shit you get when you hand a 19yo a rifle they'll never use during their mandatory 2yr service.
Yeah because if there's one thing that photoshop is good at, it's upscaling images and preserving the details 
: Go on, educate the online prostitute on how photo editing works, she's waiting. Whether he upscaled an old photo and got a bunch of artifacts or has identical couples posing for the same exact photo. It's pretty easy to agree that the photographer is a talentless hack
That's right, professional photographers NEVER edit their photos after taking them. That would be FAKE. 
: explain this (he links to a now deleted tweet claiming the picture was a photoshop of the under the tree pic (which as I've said is STUPID)
: Photographers reuse the same pose all the time. This is the same guy. The pose isn't even the exact same here. Do you have any idea how incredibly painstaking it would be for that guy to photoshop this picture? And for what?
: 
: Left is taken from below guy's head level, right taken from above, also the limbs are in different places and flexed at different angles. It's just more likely that it's two different pictures of the same pose rather than the left being an edit of the right. (free Palestine btw)
: People really shocked to discover a professional photographer reuses a pose
Now that the photo is definitively real, Hermitdeak links it to some more people. But they won't listen to his evidence!! 
hermitdeaks thread he linked
: Here is the origional. Lies and lies and lies and lies... The stupid FRICKING accusation that it's a DARN photoshop of a CRUSTY IMAGE
: Clearly a different photo r3tard
: Are you blind or just stupid
This gives us hermitdeaks new nemisis... kamipon...
Kamipon is terminally online and won't stop posting. And is also stubborn and won't listen to Mr hermitdeak
: I made a thread and a dozen replies debunking any AI claim about this. You'd have to be willfully ignorant to still think this was AI generated because there's no reason for it even if the technology existed last March. Other photos from the shoot show she just has a wide pinky
Like are these all AI too? And to what end? If you're gonna keep lying to yourself, then yeah I don't care. I'm leading a horse to water
: mans thinks you have to make every image AI, i didnt say the people didnt exist dumbass but she clearly isnt a rare person with 6 fingers. youre dumb if you dont think an AI can be near perfect
they literally have AI turning still images into videos now. its like youre still a year behind the curve of what the actual technology can do
Doing silly ancestry videos with a base photo is JUST as hard as making an image from scratch guys!! 
: Mf this was what midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Dall-E 2 (not even released in March 2022. were pumping out last year. These are "near perfect?" Also this is my last reply before I go to work, you're helpless
: clearly youre just a dipshit arguing in bad faith. obviously when you let the AI do 100% of the work its going to look worse. but when you edit it, in tandem it will become passable, which is what i meant. you so desperately want to be right on this you argue in bad faith
Kamipon then blocks him... 
If you want to see more of Hermitdeak arguing, here's the link to the quote tweets of his debunking thread: https://x.com/hermitdeak/status/1740216922808229896/quotes

Tbh it does look kinda AI-y. I think a lot of the AI tells are not strictly things "wrong" with an image. It's more that the models overdo stuff that makes the lizard brain light up. Any real photo that's too touched up, too neat, too smooth, too glow-y might start to trip people's AI flags even if it doesn't break rules of perspective, anatomy, etc.
Instagram photography and AI art are both unreality, even if the methods of composition are different.

MLP is a better show. Still only a better kid's show, so that's not a high bar, but it means it's easier to watch than the Care Bears.
Still don't understand bronies, or just why it became such a thing, but it's definitely more well-made than most other kid's shows.

I don't even know where they found this sixth finger they're talking about. There's some little muscle next to the pinky knuckle and that's all I can see. It's what you hit people with if you're doing a karate chop. Next to that is just a fold in his shirt.
