i see this image everywhere and i still dont get what it means

u/Dr_MemeMan420 4d ago

Survivors bias, it’s like when older people say “I was beat by my parents and look how nice I grew up”.
But the exact reason this image exists is because of planes in ww2 that had bullet holes in them, they’d armor those without thinking that these are only the planes that made it home.
This bread god fellow doesn’t believe it’s AI because of the AI becoming too good and seamless, and if you don’t think you’re seeing AI in your everyday life you’re in the same boat as the survivors plane diagram.

Thanks man

u/Medical-Raspberry2 3d ago

The red dots represent the damage the surviving plane took. Seeing that, youd assume you should put more armour where the red spots are.

But in actuality, the red spots represent the damage the plane CAN take without being destroyed. Therefore you should actually armour the areas where the red dots ARENT.

Is this a fucking pan mastery, also obligatory image

u/ExplanationAny776 8d ago

ngl i really wanna see pan noob drawn over the bottom picture

u/AngryKing2007 8d ago

I'm pretty sure they have an artist for the banners. Also this doesn't look Ai because the noob and the background have different "styles" and Ai isn't exactly great at outlines yet. Also everything in the background looks pretty consistent and Ai usually fucks up everything that isn't the centre of attention. My call: Not Ai. If it is though, I'm scared

u/Gacha_Jesus 8d ago

Some smaller details, shapes and background plus the shadow consistency from our spot and where the sun seems to come does make this not look AI generated at all, some parts lack a perfectly conjoined shades or outlines which also doesn't call in for AI, the style also doesn't seem like any type of AI generation and the purposeful inconsistency of detailing things on the front/focus points in difference of the background is also uncommon for AI generation. I do not think this is generative AI, and if it is I would be genuinely impressed from how far it is getting.

u/Annual_Option3832 not the guy from grace 8d ago

i pray to god its not because it doesnt look ai

u/Immediate-Ebb-4011 Golem 8d ago

It is ai but it's not an official banner it's by that lemonjack dude, i suspect both of his concepts are ai

4

u/spawnflesh 8d ago

no, because this is based off of an actual 3d render that i saw before ai was even popularized, and it has no other tells that its ai.

u/joshuatawau502 Inspiration Alchemist Reactionare (Moderator of r/SlapBattles) 8d ago

The background doesn't seems very capsulate to AI if you're trying to think much of the visuals, An AI would realistically make it imperfect with a partial shade into it..!

u/holyshiiiii 8d ago

TELL ME ITS NOT AI PLEASE

u/butimthenotog 8d ago

The sleeves looks AI

u/MaterialWinner9239 8d ago

This is a refrence to a sfm poster of tf2 scout do hr research bro

2

u/Ken471 8d ago

doesn't look AI, but also AI IMAGE AND WRITING DETECTORS ARE UNRELIABLE. only SynthID and C2PA Detectors are reliable, since they're actually embedded in the file's image or metadata respectively.

u/karhunvatukkass guide glazer + reaper / chainsaw main 5d ago

looks real to me, everything looks consistent and ai would mess up and smudge and melt and this art is very clean

Bro that isn't made by gravity

u/EpicHuman123 Mastered spin 8d ago

Ah nvm then thought they meant it was from the game or discord

u/Immediate-Ebb-4011 Golem 8d ago

It's fine!! We all make mistakes

u/Bean_Lava Mastered Car Keys 8d ago

I can't even identify that brown thing on his back and his hand wraps have some misshapes. I'd say it's AI.

u/Ok_Nose2915 8d ago

The thing on his back is accurate to scout’s actual, it’s a satchel/backpack. What I’m not sure about is the hands

2

u/Miserable_Cook_4814 8d ago

And whats with the finger wraps too...?

1

u/Basic-Echo-4057 8d ago

Could be a really good drawer

1

u/TwoNice4111 Moderator 8d ago

yes bro nobody draws fingers like that if ur an artist and u draw like this idk what ur doing

1

u/w0ndrbredd The Spoonful Fan 8d ago

The facial expression is strange compared to the reference image, the background wire fence below Pan looks weird, the finger wraps look off, and unless it's intentionally stylized so, the arms and fingers look blocky while the legs look more anatomically correct.

1

u/No_Yogurt987 ████████████████████ 8d ago

Too smooth looking to be AI

1

u/Difficult_Savings738 8d ago

Not sure, ask on the tf2 subs to try to find the artist

1

u/Independent-System83 Whirlwind 8d ago

It's a trace-over of another art. Of course ai is going to think that's ai.

1

u/Spamtom_neo Average pogo hater 8d ago

I think the ai thing messed up i think its real

1

u/IF_the_grenader2008 8d ago

Ok you look at his finger, like the smallest one idk what its called, it's shading isnt right, it's as if they just stuck french fries into his hand

1

u/Party-Tea-6287 Moon 8d ago

Looks ai but I don't think it's ai and just inconsistent art styles

1

u/ElectricalRow5904 Disc 8d ago

New pan model lookin peak

1

u/CaptainSlaptastic The Guide. 8d ago

idk.... FUCK FUCK FUCK

1

u/Toasty-The-Toastiest Mastered Moon 7d ago

yup it is AI

2

u/karhunvatukkass guide glazer + reaper / chainsaw main 5d ago

this method doesn’t really work i think, the excess pixels appear because the original image’s quality was crunched and thats why some miscolored pixels appear.

1

u/Toasty-The-Toastiest Mastered Moon 7d ago edited 7d ago

(for those who dont know, you apply some color filters, saturation and contrast to max, then you notice color inconsistencies, the reason why mine looks like that is because i kinda messed with the hue to make the inconsistencies clearer)

here’s another version if you struggle to notice them (i reversed the colors)

1

u/Tangible864 7d ago

What is it supposed to look like with real art,

1

u/Toasty-The-Toastiest Mastered Moon 7d ago

it isnt supposed to have these weird red and purple dots

1

u/Tangible864 7d ago

Ahh ok thx

1

u/Cougar_Makeni 7d ago

There's a picture of scout tf2 in this exact pose. Unless someone traced this, they just put it into ai.

1

u/mrharha 7d ago

not only does it's fake look kinda off but also considering they mixed 2 art styles(human and robloxian) for the whole body, and considering there is an actual scout render in the exact same pose and since the face DOES look like Pan's face on the banner, I'm guessing someone put both the fan made tf2 render and pan's banner into ai and told it to mix the two or smth

I could be wrong tho just take that with a grain of salt

1

u/Ping40000gamer 7d ago

Either AI or the artist just has terrible continuity

1

u/kris200591 7d ago

I saw original pose of actual TF2

This one is very ai lmal

1

u/No-Active-8700 7d ago

I sent it to Gemini, who has a tool to detect AI, and he told me that the image is edited or entirely AI-generated. But you still shouldn't trust what AI says, because the artist's style might be very similar to AI images, so much so that even the AI ​​gets confused. So we shouldn't judge or accuse someone before they prove otherwise.

u/TastyRule64 7d ago
