    I am going to stake my reputation on this, that image is not AI generated. AI images struggle to get wording and spelling right. Also the colors are mutated like the photo was taken in shitty florescent lighting, AI images tend to be cleaner.

      You know, it’s actually a lot more complicated than I thought originally. It is a satire account, and it isn’t a “real” place, but apparently a lot of the photos originate from a truck stop in Tennessee. There’s a whole internet saga around finding the actual location. Most of the photos they post are digitally manipulated in some way, including alleged AI face superimposition, but they play the satire so straight that it’s impossible to know to what extent. You may be right that it’s not whole-cloth AI generated, but it also isn’t a photo of a kid with a tub full of orange soda.

      It’s a combination of Photoshop and AI generated content. The truck stop is a real place with a different name located next door to a Bucee’s. Most of their posts are built off photos and videos taken in the actual store which builds consistency and makes it feel authentic.

    • AI art has come a long way. You can make your AI look like shitty florescent lighting, or a fading photograph. Also AI folk normally have five fingers on each hand in a normal position thanks to LORAs. LORAs also fix wording when you specify what you want a caption to say.

      It’ll mess up logos unless you specify a particular brand.

      I promise it’s not real, the left side is a buschlight beer dispenser on the last slot of that soda fountain on the left side in the real image from their FB page

      AI or Photoshop? Idk. Maybe a combination

        I mean, there’s just no way it’s entirely AI, at least. That Coca-Cola logo on the machine, the soda labels on the Coke machine… the odds that AI would get all that right are so low. I’m not speaking to any other aspect, because I didn’t spend a lot of time studying the whole image.
