Is this AI generated? I can obviously read Taco Bell and Honda but the other words I can't make out. Hard to tell if they're the usual AI nonsense or just because there's only 10 pixels in the image, 7 of which are devoted to that guys hair.

The details on the motorcycle gives it away. The engine appears to have two pistons of different sizes connected to two different cranks. The wheel spokes are also of different thicknesses and unevenly spaced. There is no front brake lever. It definitely looks like this image has AI generated elements in it.

He took the front brake lever off to reduce the bikes weight and go faster, since he lacks a right hand to use the brake...

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Main thing for me is he seems to be missing a hand.

Uniform spokes are for squares!

The back wheels orientation is definitely off.

I think you're right. Much of the text has that "word adjacent" you see a lot in AI images. Also, the picture appears to be very 80s in style, but that taco bell logo wasn't used in the 80s. I'm pretty sure the logo and Honda were edited in.

Oh, that's right. Taco Bell originally used an actual bell on their buildings - themed to look like an old western missionary.

This guy is glitching and the pixelation look's off. I think it's a composite though. The people are still too well put together.

I'll vote A.I. I can see the parking lot divider line behind and through the back bike wheel looks off. Although I don't discont crappy parking lot paint jobs do exist too.

That Taco Bell logo is not the one from the 80s.

It's possible that the image is real and has been enhanced visually. Saturation and ~~added pixels~~ resolution upscaled with ai.
