I call that TikTok face, it’s the modern take on edginess.
QED
Does the bottom image seem… off… to anyone else? There are no veins visible in his eyes, the light is reflecting differently in each eye, the background is a suspicious off-white, the model and his attire are very physically generic and featureless, and there’s a very high sharpness and focus without any depth, so it raised some intuitive AI gen red flags for me. I was not able to find any matches with several different reverse image searches, and I tried several sites for detecting AI gen images and most suggested that it was a real photograph but one site wholly disagreed.
I found your comment valuable. Recognizing AI is a skill we all need to practice.
90% of comments these days: *completely uninteresting image
User: is this AI!!! *A paragraph trying to figure it out for no goddamn reason
Damn excuse me for being curious about something and asking others for their opinion wtf
This is how the light fades from the eyes of the memeists.
We will end up hiding in the refuges of deepfried and dank memes from site 19
It is ai generated, the whole thing is
That is ridiculously lazy and a form of learned helplessness
Damn I kindof feel a certain way.
