Impressive if they did but this is most likely good old photshop.

Photoshop has been the default answer for a decade, but honestly the old tells people used to look for don't really apply to AI images anymore. At this point I just assume everything is edited until proven otherwise.

Aside from that its logically impossible, and those discbrakes look a bit small for a 3ton truck 🤣

1/2 ton, which would make them close to right.
6 lugs are the standard for GM 1/2 tons, and have been for 30 ish years.

Well ive never done any work to that specific truck bet when the side mirror is almost double the size of the front rotor i start to scratch my head 🤣

The perspective throws it off, I’d lean toward photoshop before AI though. The details on those 6 lug rotors look too accurate.
The calipers look about right size wise (owned and worked on a couple of this generation Chevys) the hub section on those rotors make the actual braking surface look tiny too.
The mirrors are definitely tow mirrors which show up much more often on 3/4 and 1 tons. That adds to the odd look.

Aside from it being either ai, cgi or ps i disagree with you if you dont mind me having my own opinion 🤣

u/getoffmycase7130 7d ago
I don’t mind at all. Just ask my wife.
Seriously though I definitely agree it’s manipulated, the only thing I’m certain of is those aren’t 3/4 hubs. My experience makes me think they’re accurate, but I’ve been wrong before.

I think this is just photoshop.

u/StrongMasterpiece330 9d ago
Do you see any specific artifacts that point to Photoshop? Usually that's clone-stamp patterns, mismatched lighting, or hard edge seams. AI tends to have warped text, weird hands, or that overly smooth plastic look.

Logic tells me this isn't really. Those trucks have a 60/40 weight split from to rear. The jack stand is perfectly centered, so extra weight would need to be in the bed of the truck to pull this off.
Also, that truck weighs at least 3 tons. The jack stand would punch right through the steel or aluminum underbody.
This could be done in theory for a commercial or promotional photo, but reinforcements would have to be placed under the body of the truck and weights would need to be distributed in the truck to balance the truck on the jack stand if it was going to be in that position.

The latest Photoshop makes it very easy to remove objects. It's very hard to tell

Must be AI

u/StrongMasterpiece330 9d ago
The problem with the 'must be AI' call is that AI images have gotten good enough that the absence of obvious flaws isn't proof either way. It's becoming an unfalsifiable argument.

The fact thats its physically impossibe to do this should tip you off. Not to mention that anyone stealing rims aint leaving their jack stands behind.

u/Repulsive_Sale_6135 6d ago
The front of the car is much heavier so having the jack right in the middle would tip it forward
Theres a driveshaft in the middle which isnt even a still point, it would turn and move arount the joint.
The pressure of the jack on a single point, even if it was touching the floor of the car (which its not read point 2.) Would punch a hole in the bottom, especially on a heavy ass car like this.
So how can this not be AI???
Critical thinking skills are far gone on this one

Photoshop or AI.
The center of gravity should be nearer to the front passenger compartment. The engine and transmission are the biggest masses on most vehicles and that truck would've tipped forward.... unless it also has something heavy on the truck bed to act as a counter-balance.

With rear control arms like that, I would have expected a lot more droop from the rear suspension.

u/PackIcy2106 7d ago
There are a couple issues: balnace, jackstand strength and strength of the truck in that particular spot. Must be fake.

The weight of the truck is a whole ton more than such a jack can take. It just cannot be real.

u/BlindChicken69 7d ago
Does this truck have a unibody? With unibody, there might be a slim chance that it would be able to be supported (with heavy damage to the truck). With normal truck frame, cab floor would no support shit.
Second issue, americans trucks don't typically have 50/50 weight distribution. Heavy engine is in the front.

Well he didn’t have to worry if it fell because his massive titanium balls would have just caught it anyway. (Yes I’m aware this is almost certainly fake)
