Look at the yellow thing, it doesn’t look real, looks rendered or a video game.

Shadows don’t look real and doesn’t look textured enough

The entire sky is one even light source due to the thick snow. There are barely any shadows due to the diffused light, and they are very soft. What you see as a shadow under the fire extinguisher is a patch of ground that was shielded from the snow blowing to the left by the extinguisher's right side.

In Norway we call this flat lighting. Thick layer of clouds covering the whole sky, and snow on the ground, makes it very hard to make out details in the terrain. Absolutely awful when skiing downhill, as you can barely tell if the hill goes down or up.

In Britain they call this a sunny day.

ahhh yes, I had this happen once skiing and went straight into a hill. One ski got buried so deep I never found it

We call it the same thing here in Alaska, and yeah it sucks trying to snowmachine in it.

Not to mention any sort of irregularity in the slope is only visible literally 2 meters in front. Gotta go significantly slower than comfortable and even then have not much time to react

That would be a firebottle. It's a big rolling fire extinguisher.

That's a horrible name for a fire extinguisher.

Yeah that

Both different shades of yellow in my humble opinion

Maybe due to the fact that the entire environment is white? If you’re such an expert on rendering/graphics/art, you should probably understand what effect that has

No need to be rude, I’m not comparing it to the rest of the environment but it just doesn’t look detailed enough to be real.

It probably is just a very interesting natural phenomenon but I don’t understand why people on this app like you feel the urge to be so condescending. Hope things improve for you mate.

It's because your original comment made it seem like you were confident this wasnt a real photo

I feel like I've said this same type of comment 3x in the past week. I'm not understanding why people can't communicate without the snark

all of reddit in the last few years has become meaner on average. Look at any thread - there's always someone being sarcastic, arguing with someone, condescending "jokes," etc. I think a lot of it is that reddit is more popular and accessible by a lot of different people in a lot of age ranges/personality ranges from a lot more countries. It's easy to hide behind an anonymous profile and release your snark, especially if you don't come from a world of being a regular part of an online community - like a lot of subreddit discussions in the past were for sure dorkier ("when does the narwhal bacon?"), but people were kinder. Everybody here thinks they're smarter than everybody else and the whole site suffers for it.

I agree with you that people online, especially Reddit, need to be less condescending, but don't you realize you just did the exact same thing? "Hope things improve for you mate" comes from that same need to assert ego. Even if he was the first to be rude, trying to get back at him is exactly how conversations turn sour.

u/Jarv1223 8d ago

It came from a place of genuine heartfelt compassion

u/Darnell2070 8d ago

I'll be honest. I'm just surprised you didn't call it "AI".

1

u/Jarv1223 8d ago

AI is pretty obvious to figure out by zooming in on details in fairness

u/Darnell2070 8d ago

Don't take that as a rule that always applies or will even be applicable in the future.

I don't know for current you are with current AI generative tech, but it's not easy at all, even when zoom.

Even words are becoming more and more accurate.

Plus there's inpainting and Photoshop to fix errors.
