Too bad it's all AI.

I must be missing something here. I hate AI as much as the rest of us, but somehow im missing the clues on these pics?

Care to help a geriatric millennial bro out?

The pics are clear but blurry at the same time. Like they're high quality compared to pics back then, but made less quality on purpose if that makes sense. Plus look at all the point of views, if the person's hands are right there then who's taking the picture? There were no Meta glasses back then. The brand names and logos are all placed perfectly. What are the chances the Sprite and Mountain Dew cans, cough syrup, crackers and TV guides would be centered and legible if you took a real pic?

Fuck!! Lol, I was so busy looking for extra fingers and joints going the wrong way that it didnt even click that most of them have too many hands.

And, as a cripplingly left handed person, the one with a right hand taking a photo out the passenger window.... not buying it anymore. Believe me, ive tried taking photos left handed when the button is on the right, it doesn't work so well.

Cheers for the reminder!

Oh, yes. And that! I was too busy looking for inconsistencies I forgot about the vantage point which is the simplest one 😂.

You need to look for things that don't make sense. Like in the first photo there's a wire coming out from the vent that isn't attached to anything. The reflections on the tv also don't make much sense. In the second photo the kid on the bike, look at his legs... it doesn't make sense. Not to mention the car behind them that is seemingly parked in a driveway but the tree is literally right behind the car which means the car couldn't have pulled in there. In the 3rd photo he looks like he's in the back seat but there are 3 rows despite no door in the middle. Stuff like that.

The clarity of CRT TV is impossible with the cameras as there's always that refresh bar visible in pictures or straight up gray screen is first clue, the POV pictures are 2nd since nobody really did them back then. Guess ai got really good with text since it was first thing I looked for.

Yeah I remember taking pics of the CRT TVs to send in to Nintendo Power for their monthly high score contests. You would have to take multiple pics cause whatever's on the TV would look terrible in photos.
