    Mostly assumption. Granted it’s a pretty good example, but I can’t imagine where this image would have otherwise come from, which means that it’s either generated, or someone spent a reasonable amount of time doing an expert level photo edit from a movie still frame just to make this meme.

      “I can’t possibly think of where this image, of a famous movie actor in a period costume, could have come from, therefore it’s AI”

          From world war II (photoshopped).

          I can’t find the exact original image, but this appears to be an image of actor Christoph Waltz portraying Standartenführer Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds, photoshopped to make fun of Nintendo’s notorious asshattery.

            Ya, I got that much. I’ve seen the movie. I appreciate the thorough explanation though. I’m just saying that I think that the edit were done with/by an AI photo editor and people are losing their entire minds at the very insinuation.

      It’s a screenshot from Inglourious Basterds [sic] with the Nintendo logo Photoshopped in.

      You shouldn’t claim that something is AI, if you can’t even tell a AI apart from a real image. Work on your identification skills.

        So I asked OP instead of flinging vaguely articulated insults based on assumptions. He (they?) said he’s not 100% sure based on the source, but “possibly AI edits” based on “the too perfect uniform texture I usually associate with AI”. So…

          Is this your first week on the internet?

          Do you not realize that memes of movies/TV shows have been made since hobby photo editing has been a thing? Do you not remember all the ridiculous bullshit memes from the mid 2000s-early 2010s where like half of them were just stills from some show or movie with a different caption to try to make it funny?

        It’s been shown in controlled studies that AI ‘identification skills’ are as effective as flipping a coin. People just don’t realise when they see the good images, and pride themselves on noticing the crappy ones.

        Edit: Ah, you’re one of those people who downvote anything they dislike hearing without bothering to say a word. Here’s the one of the studies I mentioned: https://www.nexcess.net/blog/humans-struggle-to-spot-ai-generated-content/
