With all the AI-generated content these days, it’s hard to know what’s real, which is why one Minnesota woman’s suspicions about her date’s excuse aren’t surprising. Reddit user Significant_Ant3861 says a man bailed on their date, claiming he got into a car accident. “I feel like the vibes were already telling me he was going to stand me up,” she wrote, posting the photo he presumably sent her to r/isthisAI. However, the results aren’t what she perhaps expected.
“He said his buddy got hit by another car because the air is so hazy where we are with the wildfires,” Significant_Ant3861 explained. With how uncannily dark orange the sky became in some states the past day or two, his alibi could very well check out. However, OP believes the grass and foliage remnants on the vehicle look suspiciously AI-placed.
Ironically, the greenery is exactly one of the reasons Redditors believe the photo isn’t AI-generated. “The grass stuck in the wheel well and the scuff marks on the asphalt sell it for me, AI still struggles with that kind of messy real-world debris,” remarked a commenter. “AI wouldn’t think to add the QR code sticker,” added another.
A third chimed in, saying they put the picture through Gemini SynthID and were given the negative on whether the image was AI-generated. “I don’t think AI would make tires that bald,” pointed out a fourth. Hundreds upon hundreds of other Redditors pitched in their thoughts or AI-on-AI verifications. All that being said, the general consensus is that the photo is indeed not AI.
Despite the Proof, the Minnesota Woman Was Not in Favor of Her Date’s Honesty
That said, this Minnesota woman still strongly argued that her date was somehow deceitful. One commenter fed into her beliefs, writing, “If you feel the vibe was off that bad he could have sent the image from an old car accident he had,” to which she promptly agreed.
She continued, adding how her date allegedly owned a Chevy Volt, but he also told her he was borrowing his friend’s car. If that was true, then that means his friend also owns a Volt, as the photo shows that wrecked model. “Since he said the Volt isn’t even made anymore, I highly doubt his buddy has the same car. So probably not AI but still a lie,” she concluded.
Unfortunately for Significant_Ant3861 , once she started down this rabbit hole of doubt, several people got on to her about it. “You sound like you’re trying so hard to make him the villain. First it’s ‘the vibes’ and ‘bailing,’ then it’s ‘AI-generated,’ then he’s ‘lying.’ Please just give him a break,” groaned a user.
“At this point it just seems like you are trying to make it seem like he is the bad guy out of all this when he has given you proof and explained what happened,” echoed another. Based on her remarks, these comments do seem to hold merit. She was already sussing him out from the start, and even when the evidence was against her accusations, she held firm that he was a troublemaker. Maybe this love story wasn’t meant to be.
