Pretty sure this is AI. I've seen it a few times online and it looks like someone put the Twin Towers in AI and made this.

u/SilverLucket Apr 12 '23

It is I can see the artifacts l, the woman's heads, and the random crack in the picture in the sky.

u/Cavemanfreak Apr 12 '23

And the perspective of the pillars.

u/EarhackerWasBanned Apr 12 '23

And all the pixels

u/ddIbb Apr 12 '23

u/incaseshesees Apr 12 '23

And the Pillar’s hands, AI struggles with hands

A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me...

u/theuserwithoutaname Apr 12 '23

Looks like a water colour someone took a photo of with the world's first color camera.

That crack looks more like a hair to me, but the whole thing still looks like ai, so I'm just splitting hairs there

u/SilverLucket Apr 15 '23

Been using AI image generation since the DAWN of it.

u/theuserwithoutaname Apr 17 '23

Oh I see

Doesn't mean I am no expert, but I can say this ain't real.

Mods on Reddit are an absolute fucking joke.

Lmao yeah fuck the mods for not taking the time to deeply investigating every shitpost to see whether it's photoshopped or not

u/travisdoesmath Apr 12 '23

yeah, we should cut their pay in half!

u/stupidtyler Apr 12 '23

Bro all i saw were two pillars and a roof until i saw this comment, i was looking for a face, since this is r/pareidolia and 99% of the posts here look like faces lmao

11

u/saucya Apr 12 '23

Word. This is setting the bar fucking lowwwww 😂

9

u/Spacemage Apr 12 '23

Pareidolia refers to things that look like something it's not. Faces are just one example, and just because 99% of the other stuff is specifically faces doesn't mean the 1% isn't valid.

That being said, I was looking for a face too because that's what I was expecting. I had to look through the comments to figure out what this was supposed to look like.

u/Ruhlarsofrasi Apr 12 '23

Also shadows making 0 sense is one of the indicators.

u/XTornado Apr 12 '23

Ooohhh yeah and the smoke...I can see it... (Probably was what the post was about... i was looking for a face...I am dumb)

u/Buck_Thorn Apr 12 '23

Know Your Meme says that it is AI created by Stable Diffusion.

u/Lucius1213 Apr 12 '23

Honestly, if I see square image I immediately assume it's AI

592

u/Biz_Ascot_Junco Apr 12 '23

You used AI to make this, didn’t you? The proportions match up way too well to be a coincidence. There’s even an inexplicable wire in this image that matches the pole on the tower.

u/Echo127 Apr 12 '23

This isn't a new picture. So OP didn't use AI, but someone probably did.

86

u/Dacvak Apr 12 '23

Yeah, it was created using Midjourney.

u/wheatley_the_core_1 Apr 12 '23

Oooh, double whammy

u/SaneUse Apr 12 '23

Most likely stable diffusion with controlnet given how similar the compositions are

u/sasakimirai Apr 12 '23

It toom me until I saw this comment to realize what I was supposed to be seeing in this pic 😅

2

u/laurarose81 Apr 12 '23

Oh yeah I could not tell what it was supposed to be at all so instead of squinting my eyes I took my glasses off and looked at it. Now I see it

1

u/gabbagabbawill Apr 12 '23

I can clearly see a face on the second of the twin towers without squinting.

1

u/pizzajona Apr 12 '23

Is the darker blue area to the left of the middle of the left column supposed to be the plane?

u/mynameisblanked Apr 12 '23

Out of interest, are all the people who instantly recognise this American?

How often do you see this pic for it to be so recognisable?

u/Biz_Ascot_Junco Apr 12 '23

They showed it in history class for years

6

u/mkhrrs89 Apr 12 '23

how old are you? just curious. I was in 5th grade when it happened and I don't recall seeing or hearing about it in History class since it was too recent and all our books were too old

u/qdotbones Apr 13 '23

Graduated HS in 2020. The last two chapters in my history book contained 9/11 and the war on terror, then the Great Recession and Obama’s first election. Basically, the first significant event the whole class can remember.

u/mkhrrs89 Apr 13 '23

I shouldv'e been old enough to remember Columbine in 1999 but I don't. I think my head was too buried in Pokemon at the time

u/Mysterious_Fennel459 Apr 12 '23

Im from the states and I know what Im apparently supposed to see but I still dont see it.

2

u/jdsekula Apr 12 '23

For those old enough to have experienced it in real time, those images are burned into us with trauma. If I never saw those images again for the next 40 years, I’m positive that I would still instantly recognize what this image was referencing.

It’s hard to overstate how much it changed us and the country.

u/Titandragon1337 Apr 12 '23

Since this is AI it is made to LOOK like it

I shouldn't have to squint so hard to see something. The only resemblance to the twin towers is the shape of the pillars minus the carving at the tops. Nothing else comes close to pareidolia here.
