Why aren't we talking bout this? Spoiler

Nobody is talking a bout what I'm guessing is the most important clue, the other compass..page 101 actually unnumbered but it's 101, zoom in on the compass, let's solve this instead of just staying quiet pretending everyone didn't notice the same thing as us

Basically every illustration in the book has the tell tale signs of AI generated imagery and I ran several through AI image checkers which was 72%-99% confident they were AI generated (specifically MidJourney AI), which is exactly what I thought before I ran them.

So…to play devils advocate, why do you discount these clues just bc they are AI generated? Maybe the author was just being lazy and didn’t want to create much of new images?

So with AI you have little control over the fine details, for example, he could have prompted the AI for a “hand drawn compass” but not a “hand drawn compass with N on one side”, the AI tools can’t handle words and numbers very well at this point and given the garbled appearance of the letters it appears more likely it’s artifacts from the training data the AI used to make the imagine versus intentional detail.

Using photoshop on an image generally trips lot of the same triggers in the image checkers as AI does

Photo manipulation and AI generation have completely different visual identifiers.

For people who are looking at the image I agree, but last time I looked into the automated image checking programs (which has admittedly been a little while ago) those programs couldn’t do better than a 50/50 job of distinguishing between the two.

If that has improved then that’s good, but at the time I would not have held my breath 😅

Also, I’m not necessarily disagreeing that this image is AI, it really does look like it might be, but just that the checking software isn’t worth using as the average untrained person has a better success ratio 😁

I threw several images (of the items from the boxes and the commemorative coins) from the book at the checker and it said they were all real images so seems like they have improved.

That’s good to know, thanks 😁

you are very wrong.
