Comment on soda
Newsteinleo@midwest.social 5 months agoI am going to stake my reputation on this, that image is not AI generated. AI images struggle to get wording and spelling right. Also the colors are mutated like the photo was taken in shitty florescent lighting, AI images tend to be cleaner.
AI art has come a long way. You can make your AI look like shitty florescent lighting, or a fading photograph. Also AI folk normally have five fingers on each hand in a normal position thanks to LORAs. LORAs also fix wording when you specify what you want a caption to say.
It’ll mess up logos unless you specify a particular brand.
When they talk shot but don’t know flux models are around the corner waiting.
I actually feel this proves his point. Sure it got the wording right but look how unnaturally clean but also chaotic the image is compared to the original. Like the soda machine is missing all its labels and the ice tray as an example
It’s a combination of Photoshop and AI generated content. The truck stop is a real place with a different name located next door to a Bucee’s. Most of their posts are built off photos and videos taken in the actual store which builds consistency and makes it feel authentic.
One could apply edits post-generation.
You know, it’s actually a lot more complicated than I thought originally. It is a satire account, and it isn’t a “real” place, but apparently a lot of the photos originate from a truck stop in Tennessee. There’s a whole internet saga around finding the actual location. Most of the photos they post are digitally manipulated in some way, including alleged AI face superimposition, but they play the satire so straight that it’s impossible to know to what extent. You may be right that it’s not whole-cloth AI generated, but it also isn’t a photo of a kid with a tub full of orange soda.
I mean, there’s some pretty big clues in the photo and name (Peyton meaning Manning in TN)
Like the dispenser to the left of the soda is dispenser for beer, sure looks like a Busch logo
…Peyton is just a common name in Tennessee. Maybe Peyton Manning helped that trend with his success as a quarterback, but there are a lot of kids with that name in Tennessee.
If there’s someone younger than thirty named Peyton in Tennessee they’re named after Manning, even the girls.

I promise it’s not real, the left side is a buschlight beer dispenser on the last slot of that soda fountain on the left side in the real image from their FB page
AI or Photoshop? Idk. Maybe a combination

I mean, there’s just no way it’s entirely AI, at least. That Coca-Cola logo on the machine, the soda labels on the Coke machine… the odds that AI would get all that right are so low. I’m not speaking to any other aspect, because I didn’t spend a lot of time studying the whole image.
