AI image generators have recently become capable of producing convincing visuals from text descriptions — and they’ve quickly become a favorite tool of purveyors of visual falsehoods. One popular tactic? Using AI to create fake “archival photos” that seem authentic because of their convincingly old-fashioned appearance, such as this recent viral rumor purporting to show a newly discovered photo of Bigfoot. But, of course, it’s not authentic. Let’s look at the facts.
Weird how the ai generated man looks real but the Bigfoot looks rendered, this looks more like someone photoshopped big foot into a old photo then a completely ai generated picture
It’s because these models work from existing parts. There’s more reference material for a normal dude, and also fur is hard to render.
