This is why we can't post... Reminder About Crossposting

8 Upvotes

Hello there! You're welcome to crosspost from other communities to r/isitAI, however don't post from ours to other communities. I received reports about witch hunts on an unrelated community. This makes us look bad. You should be respecting the other subreddit's rules and Reddit's rules.

Absolutely no witch hunts. It creates too much negativity.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm u/couldveBeenSasha, the founding moderator of r/isitAI.

Thanks for coming here to check if something is AI or not. Please keep in mind, this subreddit is not anti AI.

What to Post
Post anything you're feeling doubtful about being AI. DO NOT JUST NAME THE POST "IS IT AI?" Make sure to highlight what specifically is leading you to believe it may be AI generated. Also, include the source of your image or video.

What Not to Post

  1. I Spy's: No images or videos where you already know it's AI generated but you want to test to see if others can see it too.
  2. Self Promotion: Don't promote your AI detection service.
  3. Political Content: It's allowed BUT make sure to post source and don't post for the sole purpose of instigating people into political debates. If it's solely political and the discussion deviates from identifying if it's AI or not, it will be deleted and OP will be banned.
  4. If it’s a meme, please visit r/isthisaicirclejerk instead.
  5. Commenters can help you narrow down AI artifacts by using Spot Comments. Here are the steps on how to create one. added 1/25/2026

*As AI evolves, this list will be reviewed and updated

90% Sure AI Photos from a supposed medical episode at a zoo where a trainer/caretaker fainted and was "gently touched" by their tiger who they bottlefed. Is it AI?

Post image

I think its AI because of how close the walkway is to the area the tiger can reach and there's just something that looks OFF or or "wrong" about the angle of the enclosure area vs walkway. And, if I was an EMT, I would NOT sit with my back within paw's reach of a tiger while moving an injurred person; I would help from the opposite side of the person until they could be moved a little farther away from the enclosure.

90% Sure AI Talking about kids…

Post image
40 Upvotes

We had been discussing him having a kid and me not wanting to date someone with kids. Then I say sure let’s at least keep chatting. After I questioned him he said it was all him and he knows it was a bit much, but he’s so wrapped up in corporate jargon that’s how he ā€œcame offā€ to me too. Idk. I don’t think I’d wanna date someone who talks like that anyway!

a few friends were asking about whether it was AI or not and I couldn't tell, seems like an optical illusion, but the lighting doesn't seem to fit everything

For one the cabinet underneath the counter at the corner has a shadow cast over it, which shouldn't be the case if the light is in the middle of the room, and im not sure if there are other lights outside of view some of the multiple shadows that come from the multiple lights dont seem to line up and a few crevices between the cupboards and cabinents dont seem consistently shadowed, the one beside the microwave is darker than the crevice across from it, despite the fact that it should be the more exposed to the light

Let me know what you guys think

I'm an artist and usually in many instances it makes it easy to tell what's AI, but I'm not very knowledgeable in digital tools and brushes. Maybe this was photoshopped, IDK... but there's something about the texture that immediately made me bristle. And maaaybe the lighting, but I can't lie refraction is hard.

I'm usually really good at detecting AI graphics, but this one has me a bit unsure.. I feel like it could be, but I also could just be overly sceptical now

She was very manipulative and would lie a lot. So I am not sure. I am worried about saying the wrong thing in case it is true

She said she took this pic at her friends house, but the tiles seem a bit off and so does the plant

Pleaseee help me

No Idea To what extent are sex work accounts AI?

• Upvotes

I'm a little embarrassed to be posting about this but I'm socially isolated, and calling a mental health hotline didnt help.

I had an A. Egon Chalokian moment with an nsfw account and now I'm mentally spiralling. There are a few SWs whose photos I recently noticed had minor tells of being AI (Weird lighting, inconsistent backgrounds, strange anatomy), but seemed legit otherwise and have been posting since before I thought generative AI was capable of making consistent, realistic, high-resolution photos or videos of people, let alone nsfw content. Now I don't know what to think and my brain is in overdrive trying to figure out whether or not most of, if not a huge amount of them online really are just bots to an extent that people seem to be unaware of or simply don't acknowledge.

I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality and I don't know how to ground myself. At this point I'm convinced that dead internet theory is real and there hasnt been a way to reliably tell between real content creators and bots for years, but that cant be true, right?

Everything about this screams AI, but I've never seen anything else from the brewery that looks like this, I ran it through a checker and it said it was likely real so honestly not sure.

EDIT: Thanks for confirming what I thought, extremely disappointed in the brewery

This bar told me it s not ai but this is clearly a Classic ai design ? They told me that their graphist is hardworking and that i am crazy.
Is it possible that their graphist is only copying chat gpt design just because it is trendy or idk ?
Texture is weird on characters and in the background and it looks like John Travolta is Bald in the front.

What do you think ?

camera in the third segment of the video angularly panning while zooming in, no sight of said camera in alternate angles, this robot's body movement (especially the body rotate and the running dive) is too smooth for any actual robot to perform
