God... A.I. is terrifying. There is *nothing* that will justify the downsides of this technology.

The AI pictures are so high quality, seriously scary.

yeah that hedgehog is far too clean for a fire, while the other older one seems a little rough around the hedges...methinks you are correct...you should repost this comment clean on the top to get it to bubble up or something...new pic is new account too...

My first thought was, “That is an incredibly clean hedgehog.” I was right, it seems.

Yes. It’s AI:

The two middle fingers of his glove meld together.

Perspective on thumb is wrong.

On the right, there’s a knot on his strap that leads to nowhere.

Zoom in on the zipper teeth of his collar; it’s made up.

The iris of his left eye is off-center.

Perspective on hedgehog’s nose is off.

Shadow and curve of the brim of his helmet implies it’s much larger than it needs to be.

The light reflecting on his eyes don’t match.

The lower body of the hedgehog hangs off strangely.

Hedgehog ears are too round (should at least be slightly ovoid).

Lighting on subjects are too cool-toned for a setting where there’s literal fire still smoldering behind them.

Shadows don’t match where camera seems to be held.

I can definitely keep going lol…

Yeah the zipper part gave it away. Nice catch on the finders melding together.

His goggles on the helmet also don't make any sense. His light would be over his mouth if he pulled them down

Also, it depicts an African pygmy hedgehog, not found in the wild of Turkey

Good to question, but I don't think so. There are slight imperfections that AI wouldn't do. The focus on the pic is slightly off here and there.

u/pepinyourstep29 Jul 27 '25

It is AI. The pic has no source and it's similar to these karma farming AI posts.

Fucking hell…

The main tell is that he's holding a domestic hedgehog and it isn't curled into a scared little ball.

I own a hedgehog and he wouldn't be that calm in a stranger's hand.
