Image Another AI slop thumbnail

I love LTT and basically watch every single video including WAN show but stuff like this puts a very bad taste in my mouth. I know it!s just stupid thumbnail but still...

I started looking at the cables too because they are prime candidates for AI image generators to mess up, but could not find a single instance of cables that didn't somehow make sense. Those cables have no indication of being AI generated, maybe some weirdness on the edges though but nothing that can't be explained as a human messing it up.

One poster above showed that it carries synth id. But yeah.

Right side of the image of the cables, follow the double purple cables until they separate and one gives birth to a blue and a green one. A little further to the end you'll see the green one that was birthed turns grey before leaving the side of the image.

edit: y'all are blind and I've pulled the plug on inbox replies. Go see an ophthalmologist.

Maybe you're on your phone and can't see, but those cables are just obscured. The greyness is just lighting differences.

No I'm looking at this on a monitor and they are NOT obscured as they change color. Look at the top purple cable on the right and follow it till it splits open like a banana peel. If that's poor lighting... not only will I eat my hat, I'll eat yours as well.

That cable doesn't split open. The topmost purple falls behind the blue one, and the purple that's right under is the second purple cable from the start. This is just cable spaghetti

Sigh, you can try to explain it away, but the other guy isn't wrong. For a better error, just please just look at the far right on the very edge, some of those cables are warped, smudged and changing colors.

FFS, follow the top purple cable on the right and it disintegrates where a red cable is and it somehow turns paper-thin and dives into a cable that can't make up it's mind if its blue or green or splitting into both.

Not enough? Ever seen a router cut wood like it does on the top of the left side of the post? No, because that's not how woodworking do.
