The version my friends sent to me yesterday was definitley edited with AI; in the post you provided the card says Hello Merrymonder which is a Korean fashion brand whereas my copy it’s gibberish. Guess I should have dug further for an original.
Just curious, what process did you use to turn up her Instagram post?
Yeah, I’d say the version you got has been upscaled and had the canvas expanded by AI. I see, for instance, that the can’s size labeling has been changed to the American version, the Hangul below the logo looks wrong, and the “Hello” goes slop at exactly the point where the original picture cuts off.
Some interfaces use fixed aspect ratios, so perhaps the diffusion model automatically outpainted the original image from the bottom to make the edit, even if that wasn’t the intent.
I am surprised it got some of the text right it used to be an all around crap for texts. Before that it used to be shadows and before that the fingers. Fucking hell it is going to be indistinguishable from a real photo if it goes like this.
Take a peek at the rest of this thread. There’s a version of the photo that’s been edited with AI, but mostly it’s just JPEG-rot on an English-speaking influencer’s carefully staged pic from 2017 in an upscale Seoul neighborhood.
Zoom in on the card. I also checked tineye and it says the oldest match is from summer of 2023
It’s possible the image was edited with AI but that’s a Korean dr. Pepper can.
The original image is from 2017, I posted it here: https://crazypeople.online/comment/12281114
Maybe people are using AI to add captions who knows

What a strange choice to burn tokens on.

OP’s image uses the correct aspect ratio though.
Hmm. It appears that someone “outpainted” from the bottom. It mangled some of the text too (like the Dr. Pepper can).
But the source is real. That image you posted is basically a bad photoshop, but OP’s meme appears to use the real source.

It’s getting a lot more challenging to tell; certainly not immediately obvious like it used to be
Her sweater blends right into her hand.
Some sweaters can look like that, especially in low-contrast colors and slightly blurry photos.
You know what? I’d be willing to concede that point after a second look. But a lot of the text is definitely AI.

This one
People have begun confusing vintage instagram slop with AI slop. Sam and Dario must be very proud.
