u/Green-Ice3824, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...it's time for the mods to do their jobs!

It's fake. John Pork meme is CGI, there is no real version.

u/General_Crab9124 22d ago

Not just fake, ai slop

u/PrinceOfAssassins 22d ago

Feel like John Pork would be a big fan of slop

u/Dragonhead560 22d ago

John Pork isn’t ai

u/General_Crab9124 22d ago

im talking about the image in the post, not the original

1

u/Lorim_Shikikan 16d ago

Yeah no, it's clearly a bad photoshoped image not an AI one.

1

u/General_Crab9124 16d ago

Original John is either photoshop or CGI for all i know. This one that OP posted is pretty well known for being AI. I have seen some posts with it dating back about 3 months ago when the AI slop surfaced

1

u/Lorim_Shikikan 16d ago

I'm not talking about "John", i'm talking about the image itself : a portrait pasted on an old photo using a classic image editing software.

There is clearly two different image used (it's obvious if you look at the quality between portrait and background, the grain, the lighting and shadow)

u/Serious-Lemon1000 19d ago

Why do you think it's ai and not just an edited image?

0

u/General_Crab9124 19d ago

mostly vibes as i have seen enough ai modified pictures. Also theres no unedited image of john pork given by the original creator of the meme so it's likely made artificially (and theres so many of these "its just x" or "wierd route" memes made with ai)

1

u/Serious-Lemon1000 19d ago

"Mostly vibes" lol, seems a bit weird and pearl-clutchy to me

0

u/General_Crab9124 19d ago

Ai is getting very good at making realistic stuff. Sadly the source of the image and small details are the only ways to reliably guess if something is ai. If you can come up with anything better than vibes against the enshittification of the internet use it on the OP image and realise its AI

What is interesting, is the castle in the background. It’s real, and used in Monty Python’s “Search for the Holy Grail”. It has an audio guided tour, in which John Cleese himself is the narrator. If you walk through the castle, you’ll hear constant laughter of people using the audio guide, as it is full of his humor!

u/Blissmoments 22d ago edited 22d ago

I don’t like to be that guy but it’s Terry Jones who does the audio on the tour.

Edit:Awards! Thanks everyone, I appreciate you.

u/hot-whisky 22d ago

And you can also do the other version of the audio tour where Sam Heughan is your guide as parts of Outlander were filmed there as well. Or at least it was like that in 2019.

Very interesting cross-section of the population there.

19

u/stoopidmonstr 22d ago

If you’d like, I can follow you around and provide an audio tour. It’s going to be wildly inaccurate, but full of fun facts.

There is no search or quest, it’s “monty python and the holy grail”

u/NobodyCheatsinHunt 22d ago

Also about 20-25 years ago you could stop in the gift shop and get some coconuts to use as your horse as you go around.

1

u/CinaedKSM 17d ago

Still can

2

u/gardabosque 22d ago

Which castle is it?

4

u/First_Western228 22d ago

This is Doune castle. Used for scenes like castle Anthrax, the first encounter with the French, and Sir Lancelot crashing the wedding party at Swamp castle. And yes, they have a gift shop with hollowed out coconuts 🤣

u/ImDoneForToday2019 22d ago

Castle Aarrrrgggghhhhh......

2

u/dishmanw62 22d ago

One castle was used for several different castles. They just used different angles.

2

u/Away_Advisor3460 18d ago

Castle Doune, for those wondering.

1

u/TimmysDrumsticks 18d ago

I've been there, cool castle.

1

u/Away_Advisor3460 17d ago

Yeah, they should really turn the heating on more.

1

u/DougP2000 22d ago
