This photo is currently the top post in the r/pics community on Reddit, with close to 50k upvotes.
I have my suspicions about the photo and wanted other people’s opinions about it.
Is this AI?


I believe so. If you zoom in on the letters, it’s inconsistent with the capital R font between posters, which can’t really be explained by the angle, it’s a bit thinner or thicker in places:
Also, if you adjust for the angle of the posters, it’s not done a good job of keeping the face and text consistent at that angle. In these next photos I’ve edited the image to account for perspective so it’s as if the left and right closest posters are “face on”.
It’s getting hard to tell nowadays though, I could be wrong but I’m voting this is 80% likelihood of being A.I.
The paper is wrinkled.
