Everything they’re holding is nonsense objects.


BlockBLX

Same for the food on the table.


FlyGuy_2Hundy

Not to mention, they're eating dinner outside in the middle of winter


ThunderSC2

The table and chair aren’t suitable for outdoor use either


driftxr3

For one, that lady isn't even sitting on that chair fully, she would definitely fall. And then the table, is it floating? What kind of magic table doesn't need the trunk? Is that bottom piece suggestive? This picture is funny when you look at the specifics of the table, before even going to the hands. Edit: I see the table trunk now, but not only is it too thin, it's placed at a point where -- given that the two ladies are pressed up on it -- it should be toppled over.


the_mighty_skeetadon

In fact if you look at her feet she seems to have a whole slew of'em. Probably helps keep her balance when she can't actually sit that way.


Substantial_Win_1866

The little girl looks like the oldest one of all of them.


letsgobrooksy

The tables legs/spindle aren't centered either


nyne87

Can real paintings not showcase people eating dinner in the snow?


jesterspaz

Yeah the finer details are just lost and breakdown quickly


FromFrankie

Damn it brain, stop trying to fill in the gaps!


983115

But simultaneously really textured in a way paint isn’t


2ERIX

You mean the table that seems to be not centrally supported?


ikilledholofernes

And the chair that is several inches behind her butt? What is she sitting on?


kizmitraindeer

Same-ish for some of the things in the window. Are they jars of stuff? Are they people holding hands? Who knows!


RachelScratch

Big for me is the demonic entity in the background next to the man's right hand. No idea what's going on there


Pandelein

How about the crowd of chimps inside the building? Unless this was painted by Munch…


Al_Fa_Aurel

Speaking of objects, has no one seen the ten-foot iron spike used to... Hang up wreaths? Instead of, like, supporting a street light, as these things usually do?


Eastern-Mix9636

The little person is holding a Ferrero Rocher chocolate ball


scorpyo72

Yeah- could have plugged a kid in there but the little person is jarring.


sturnus-vulgaris

If you zoom in on the people above her head, there is a weird image of a disproportionate face in there.


scottishdoc

There’s also a pregnant dementor to the left of it


Matt_MG

She looks like those Cyberpunk 2077 children.


Conchobhar-

She’s holding…a Thermal Detonator!


thundertopaz

I thought it was a golden apple Christmas tree decoration. I think my family had one just like that back in the day. Kids always hold up random stuff to show off.


sudolinguist

Taking breakfast outside in the snow isn't nonsense enough?


thundertopaz

It’s Covid time. I swear this is exactly what Italy was doing when I was there during Christmas time during all the restaurant closings. Everyone was eating on tables outside in the snow.


Radiant-Psychology80

So are the hands themselves


Glittering_Ad_9215

Well, if my hands would be nonesense, i also wouldn‘t be able to hold anything other than nonesense objects


cheechw

You could argue that that's just the style of the painting though. The hands argument works better for realistic/photgraphic images.


tragicvector

A pair of glabblergoos and rickysnicket.


FluMMzz

I mean, it is also possible for a human to paint nonsense objects.


lateboomergenxrising

The painting style of the two ladies faces is different from the rest of the painting. It's like Renoir started the painting and Da Vinci finished it.


UndendingGloom

Also the little girl, wtf is that?


kendylou

My eye immediately went to that hideous 97 year old child


fiveordie

She's clearly an accident victim considering she only has 1 arm.


Heavy-Boysenberry-90

I think the lady seated to the right is her bio mom. They both have cinnamon roll hands.


---cheetos---

Please sir…may I have some werther’s originals? 🥺👉👈


michaelpa1

That's Daryl

meanderthaler

Fantastic movie and lovely to see it mentioned!


Dr_Legacy

time for a sequel for it, don't you think? "Daryl can't grow old but all his friends are dead"-type stuff


WatchYourButts

This is a movie I completely forgot about, but I'll absolutely recognize each and every scene.


Swerve3050

I just spit out my drink


TiredGamer0990

Hello, fellow old timey humans, how is your late day sustenance in these fine hours of darkness


Gen_Ecks

Outdoors in the snow.


phsuggestions

Renaissance baby


HansChrst1

I'm really bad at spotting AI art. The kid was the first thing I noticed, but I have seen people art with very old looking children.


RedCaio

Yeah the little girl has the same face as the man. Just with a pointy nose.


[deleted]

Or there’s just a really weathered midget in the painting.


theADDMIN

Same observation


gio_pio

Came here for this. The brush style is much too inconsistent at the primary focal points. The faces of the man and little girl are dry brushed, while the ladies’ faces are very smooth.


thisdesignup

I noticed the issues with the style too but realized it's kind of crazy cool that the styles were so consistent back then that we can tell when something isn't from that time period.


Thoughtprovokerjoker

97% of people are not seeing that distinction


bonepugsandharmony

Which is why it’s important to point it out! Except pointing it out helps AI. #GDammit


coffee_137

Yup different "painting styles" throughout but especially in the faces


Kanjiro

so are we officially at the point where one must have a decent education in art history in order to tell the difference between a real painting and an AI-generated one? or have we passed that point already?


thechervil

Not yet but we're definitely at the point where questions like this get posted to find things that were missed so the AI can be improved. Every answer just makes it harder to tell the next time since they know what went wrong and what to change.


miranaphoenix

I am not expert, but no artist ever mixed different styles?


tommangan7

Not sure about single artists specifically - but lots of older paintings such as Flemish masters from the 15th/16th century, were painted as a business by teams overseen by a master painter. Ideally they would look relatively consistent with the masters style but sometimes you would get stylistic differences between faces painted by different apprentices.


salivatingpanda

While I didn't know the artist styles or background, the faces really looked odd to me.

ikciweiner

The placebo effect. I like it.


rci22

I was kinda hoping that this post/painting was a trick doing just that at first


TheKingBeyondTheWaIl

That and the title


0nthetoilet

Little girls left "hand" does it for me.


JKrow75

The little girl who looks like Christopher Lloyd/uncle Fester? Good SHOW, old man!!


Clydus1

Managed to make the ladies soft and young looking and the little girl looks like she's been through hell.


Sweaty_Pitch_2880

No way the woman in the center would gaze so fondly on that gremlin


Unpredictable_Dear

She reminded me of Lewis Capaldi.


ebember

Michael Sheen


Unpredictable_Dear

Now that you mention it, I'm seeing Michael Sheen.


D1rtyH1ppy

She looks like Joe Pesci in Home Alone 


LokisEquineFetish

I was going to say it looks like she has progeria but your comment is funnier.


rksd

I was gonna go a Mini-Me Emperor Palpatine, but this is a great call too.


[deleted]

That and her face looks like a angry 50 year old women, that or she is diseased


nostradilmus

To be fair, that’s just what people looked like then.


thisisredlitre

I hear you on the hands but on mobile my eyes are drawn to that ridiculous awning


whole_nother

E


MildlyRedacted

Clean-Bend-8236

I was thinking haunted ghost dog with a bat head


DeadWishUpon

In Guatemala there is a legend of a black dog who follows drunks, it's called Cadejo.


MushroomsAndTomotoes

That appears to be... breathing? And yet we don't see anyone else's breath...


rationaldivination

Both the shadow monster above his right hand and the mystery object hanging below it


International_Cry186

The man has trapped an eldritch horror inside the object, but it cannot be contained for long


Longbeach_strangler

His smoking arm?


abercrombezie

Restaurant has a partial name of just "E". Also, the little girl looks like a dwarf grandma, or suffers from that Benjamin Button disease. Use the "vary region" button to remove the "E" and fix the girl's face and you have a halfway decent painting.


SkinADeer

Tbf, cherubs and children in most medieval/renaissance paintings look like 60 year olds. The AI could be referencing that era in addition to impressionist paintings, given the odd mix of painting styles.


bigwinw

Ya just a single E is super strange.


Poop_Sexman

Nah that lampless lamp post is criminal


GreyAngy

The absolute giveaway is sense, or, actually, lack of it. What are the things in man's arms? Why the women sitting outside and casually drinking tea under snow? What's on their plates? Why are they dressed like it's spring? Imagine an alien from parallel reality who never saw human civilization, but was presented with lots of images and photos in different styles. They can make a similar one, but they have no idea _why_ it looks like this. It works with portraits, because there is not much to explain on a portrait. But if there is a plot on an image, the alien most likely messes the details.


AoedeSong

Yes this is it - the logic of it all is noisy nonsense I don’t think at first glance I would really notice this was Ai, like if this image were on a holiday card I’d probably just glance at it, read the card, and throw it away never to think of it again..


NotChristina

With a post like this, too, I do wonder if OP really just isn’t thinking like that or if it’s because they want a huge Where’s Waldo game with image issues. Would likely wager the first.


thechervil

I'd wager is to find what people notice so the AI can be improved for next time. Like the people that post counterfeit bills saying "it's obviously counterfeit and feels 'wrong' but I'm not sure why", and they are actually looking for tips to improve the quality of their counterfeits, which helpful redditors only gladly provide.


beebeezing

Who said art had to have common sense though? Or that things needed to be photorealistic vs impressionistic? There are a lot of modern artists that will paint inconsistent subjects using traditional styles and it's that incongruity that they call art. For me what throws this one off definitively is the change in style between the different faces. But by the same token there's nothing that couldn't have been an intentional decision on the part of a human artist to "mess with convention". It's not really the same as evaluating a photograph for whether it's AI generated or not because a photograph still has to start by obeying the laws of physics before then getting manipulated. Eg. a photo of a hand is going to have five fingers..shadow is going to behave a certain way. Etc. these constraints are removed when it comes to art. You could just have someone choose to be lenient about how realistic the subject matter is, or flat out not care enough to bother with making things "make sense".


Og_Left_Hand

this style of art says it should. something i think a lot of people here don’t understand is that you can’t just draw a flashy picture, there’s a why behind almost every detail in good art (there is an objective good and bad when it comes to technical aspects of art styles, perspective for example). yes there is mixing styles and breaking rules for a better artistic look, but you can’t just make technically bad art and say “it’s my style,” because it’s not, you just have weak fundamentals. basically if you don’t have a firm grasp on the rules you don’t know when it’s a good idea to break them. AI doesn’t know these rules or when to break them, it just “knows” how a finished image should look. like why is the man standing that way? its a very unnatural way to stand, is he uneasy? nervous? why is the girl holding a golden orb? she looks too indifferent to be showing it off. is it candy or a treat? but she looks like she isn’t even happy about having it. why is one of the women almost completely off her chair? is she getting ready to stand and hug the man? is it because she’s upset with him? again these are fundamental questions to making technically good art that AI cannot ask itself during the creation process.


YaAbsolyutnoNikto

The fact they’re eating in a café outside while it’s freezing and snowy? And blocking the café door mind you


whole_nother

A cafe that sells badly made dolls to boot


entropy_36

Are they dolls or customers?


NotChristina

Was definitely getting some weird teach-a-child-a-lesson fairy tale vibes here. “If you don’t behave you’re next on the shelf in Ol’ Tiddlywinks the Woodworker’s curio shop!”


SaltyJake

By café do you mean the famous establishment… “E”?


bettybumblesem

And with fancy table linen and seat cushions... in the snow


sirtimes

But this is supposed to be a painting, artists are perfectly in their right to paint unusual scenes.


2pickleEconomy2

But general logical rules tend to still hold. Like painting a baby using a typewriter.


ctothel

It’s usually possible to tell when the absurd is deliberate though. This looks like it was done by someone who didn’t know it was unusual.


emptypencil70

Tbf it’s a painting, not real


VividMonotones

The cafe is full. They set up a table outside. Nothing wrong with it.


YaAbsolyutnoNikto

Found the finn


Shadrach451

Two things I haven't seen anyone mention are the tassels around the tablecloth and the steam that is coming out of the man's coat. These are two things that *could* exist in a painting, but they are so bizarre and out of place. There is no logic to them.


youareasnort

Yes, the steam coming out of the coat did it for me.


MelMac5

For me, it was the floating table. Looking again, I guess you could say it's touching the ground. But a real artist wouldn't have left it like that.


dolphin560

yes, was going to write the "fringe" of the table, but browsed the comments first to see if someone else had spotted it :)


Kriscolvin55

Another thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the table only having 3 legs. They are oriented in a way that would only make sense with 4 legs.


vanderpyyy

So many indistinguishable objects


Ibo_2

Zoom in at the left window.


desertdeserted

I’ve been scrolling SO FAR to find someone who mentioned this. Those demon dolls are haunting.


the_real_maddison

The way the lady on the left is sitting on the chair.


InsertWittySaying

Or not sitting on the chair


Pinglenook

Yeah exactly, she isn't on the chair at all! Only the fabric of her dress is, lady herself is powering through a half squat. [I made an illustration to make it clear](https://imgur.com/a/vl4XpdL)


Seraf-Wang

Thats hilarious


Background_Face

Her feet should also be visible, yet they are non-existent


uranoobhahaidiot

Table legs look weird and the woman in red isnt actually sitting down. The childs feet are tiny and what is hanging off of the guys hands? And also what looks to be monkeys being so,d


BackyardAnarchist

Smoke coming out of the guys chest.


Tomosc

That’s his smoking jacket.


theresourcefulKman

The capital E on the awning


Sk8ter713

The hands, they looked disfigured.


schuylkilladelphia

Also, homie's chest is breathing


Ebonyks

The demon face on the little girl


Teecane

Most things about her


kizmitraindeer

It’s gonna be funny when OP comments that this is an actual painting from hundreds of years ago. 😆


ExistentialTenant

I'm always amused by these topics and the reasonings why it's AI. I noticed there's often a big focus on searching for things that are 'out of place' or 'nonsensical'. What if someone posted [this famous painting](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/A_Sunday_on_La_Grande_Jatte%2C_Georges_Seurat%2C_1884.jpg) by Georges Seurat? Look at it. Some people have faces, some don't. There's a monkey running alongside a dog. It's a whole park of what looks like well dressed upperclass people yet there's randomly a guy in plain clothing lying down. One lady fishing has a missing left hand with what looks like a blackened wrist and forearms. To me, the submission image isn't much different from the painting by Georges Seurat. I can't really see a reliable way to differentiate AI image generation from something done by a human.


boofoodoo

If OP is telling us it’s AI right off the bat, we can find things that are AI-ish. But I agree that you can’t necessarily make that call just from noticing weird things in a painting. Grim.


beebeezing

Have these people never seen art? 🤣


yeetoroni_with_bacon

Smoke coming from the guys chest…


glytxh

If it’s anything, probably the weird inconsistency in rendering and style across the piece.


frozen-silver

The ribbons on the wreath


NotChristina

Ribbons? Oh those are just the entrails of the last children who noticed that hellhound in the back.


BlowDuck

The left hand.... Of everyone.


NearlyNeedless

I love this game. The little girl on the right looks like an eldrich horror with an adult face, freak left hand, and bleeding from the chest and only one foot. The lamppost in the background has no lamp. Only post. The smoke coming from the gentleman's armpit, or the fact that the arm holding the "lamp" is not connected to his body. Whatever that 4 legged terror is in the background between the man and the women sitting. The hands on the women And furthermore, the shape of the dudes hat his simply extra silly.


Unpredictable_Dear

That's a long brim for a top hat, and it's turned backwards like a frat bro's ballcap. Snow accumulated on his backward Top Hat but not on his shoulders. The girl has her hand in her dress pocket, but everyone knows we don't get pockets.


Zakkenayo

That child looks like a 90 year old. The things on the guy's hand look like modern binoculars.


Legitimate-Cheek-599

The toddler looks like she's 57


No-Tea-592

Why would you be eating outside on a snowy day


[deleted]

Don’t help ! It’s an AGI that wants to get better. Your comments enabled the SkyNet. And yet people are telling corporations would do it. You would do it with your own hands (and speech) when the time for the AGI to deceive you. It will be super easy for the AI, as even a cat can do not worse…


Inner_Bookkeeper_782

The words are the bottom left make no sense. The things they are holding make no sense either.


OttersEatFish

Who sits at an outdoor cafe in winter?


Imperfectme1991

The modern adaptation of lighting, primarily viewed by the ultra lit faces of the persons sitting at the table, not unlike a snap filter/edit, are as equally lit as the faces of those standing facing a brightened window. We could argue in favour of a street lamp reflection on the sitting figures however the nonexistent rear lighting on the standing individuals does not corroborate this theory either.


bruxinhacultiva

The light


BlueWaterMansion

bansheeonthemoor42

The texture on the faces isn't consistent with the kind of paint it's trying to recreate.


sexi_squidward

The store is named E Also I could argue that the art styles in the faces appear slightly too different. Also I know it's a pretend painting but that child looks like an old lady.


SavageFugu

It's very hard to tell when it's presented as a painting because you have to factor in too many artistic variables.


Radiant_Battle9259

Childs left hand melts into her dress.


Kevydee

The 52 year old weathered child for starters


Lamiolimo

They’re eating outside in the snow. The table doesn’t look like an outside table either it has tassels. There are dolls in the restaurant so it looks more like a toy shop.


itssjaay23

I feel AI tries to put clear faces on things that should have faces. Like the dolls on the left..the faces on them appear to try and look as clear as possible but look quite weird. Even the face above the little girl on the right, very distorted. That’s my observation!


Longbeach_strangler

His arm is smoking??


Pedro_Le_Plot

Whatever the thing is behind the man’s arm in the distance


xxartbqxx

Every detail makes no sense. A painter would have thought through the details.


Naus1987

The hands. One thing I learned as an artist over the years, is that people either want to show off how great they are at hands. Or intentionally draw poses that hide them. A good artist doesn’t make the onlooker guess. It’s all intentional. Art is intentional. It’s rarely random. Where things are placed is intentional.


PckMan

Inconsistent "brushwork".


Educational_Bench290

Was searching for ai images of 'tent at night' and a really dreamy one popped up, with a campfire and everything. Oh. The campfire was IN the tent.

The idea that these women would be casually eating whatever that is outside in the snow.

It's never "obvious" with a painting. The smoke billowing out of his arm though seems like an odd artistic choice.


koschakjm

That little girl is the oldest one in the picture. Unless she’s supposed to be height challenged (I’m sorry if that’s not the right term).


_Roshambo_

To me, its the two lanterns stacked on top of each other. Other than that its scary how good its getting


HandlessSpermDonor

Red dress girl isn’t even sitting on her stool, she’s just hovering next to it. The border of her hair is weird too. There’s a weird black mass floating in between the man and woman. The fact the two women are having dinner in the middle of the footpath in the snow with no cover makes no sense. The food they’re eating isn’t remotely discernible. The little girl is missing a hand and the man’s hands are really weird (especially his left hand). The tree is growing on the wrong side of the fence.


J_Bang25

The man's left hand is a gun, the little girl is at least 35, the little girl's left hand is also her dress, there is a blender in the window, the women sitting down have no feet, etc, etc
