    this chair is a pretty good litmus test for politics: do you regard it with respect or disgust?

          Looking closely I genuinely can’t tell. There’s no explicit fuckery, just a few odd things: the lower chains appear to be different lengths from one another, the metal bars don’t appear to be connected to the head, the far metal bar looks like it’s hanging loose so how those bars and chains would provide actual support is unclear, the center chain just comes straight down to something unseen on the head instead of to a rear ring that could support the back (although this would explain the other supports hanging loose, if they’re just there to stop it from pitching forwards too much when someone sits in it), the teeth are weird and seem mismatched between the sides, and the shadow/reflection looks like it might be the wrong shape.

          Conclusion: either some janky but impressive hobby build (since most of the issues are “maybe this shouldn’t be built like this?”) or an AI image.

          You can usually tell by the vibe of the image. This was definitely made with Midjourney. Everything it produces without specific artistic direction has the same vibe when it comes to lighting and saturation
