       Right in the middle of a rainy moment, a tiny bird becomes the star of something truly magical—a perfect water droplet lands on its head, forming a crown-like splash that feels almost unreal. The timing is flawless, capturing a split second where nature turns playful.The photo was taken by Lee Schofer and posted by his partner, Kate Weyer, on her Facebook.#NaturePhotography #Plant #Plants #Flower #Flowers #Animal #Animals #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Photographer

       @Adrenochrome hey, just fyi y'all can use the Google SynthID watermark checker to verify that this was AI-generated.https://deepmind.google/technologies/synthid

       @Adrenochrome I hate that #AI has done this to me but I now find myself questioning every “magical” or “perfect” image I see and there’s something very “off” about this image…

       @BelfastRoadster @Adrenochrome why do you think there is something off?  I am not trained in this sense

       @luckychronic @BelfastRoadster @Adrenochrome The depth of field seems inconsistent. A drop of water would form a symmetrical ring if it hit a flat surface, but that’s not the case here. And the large drop above the ring forms when a drop falls into a liquid. When something looks too good to be true, it raises doubts. #AISlop

       @pycomtois @luckychronic @BelfastRoadster @Adrenochrome As a bit of fun I searched for the photographers name and nothing came up related to this image.  Then queried Co-pilot and Gemini if this is AI and both AI agents said it's AI.Gemini's analysis.  Again, may not be accurate but....Still, a cool artistic  image, but sad it's not real.

       @winkleink @pycomtois @luckychronic @BelfastRoadster @Adrenochrome I checked it on another tool and it gives the picture the benefit of the doubt ("uncertain, probably real").https://aiphotocheck.com/

       @hans_zelf @winkleink @pycomtois @luckychronic @BelfastRoadster @Adrenochrome it has a SynthID watermark. this is a proprietary watermark developed by Google and applied to all images made by Google image generators, the only way to discover it is to use the Google SynthID checker.Other websites can't figure it out simply because they don't understand how the watermark works.https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/

       @dalias @Adrenochrome typing @SynthID in a Gemini message forces a SynthID tool call to execute before the LLM runs. The LLM receives the output from the SynthID checker (a very normal old-school program) + your message as context. Of course the LLM could still randomly decide to lie about the result of the tool call, that's why I ran this and similar queries multiple times in different chat contexts.To answer why I'm using an LLM to do this at all: There simply seems to be no other way to reliably use the SynthID checker (sometimes the Google reverse image search executes it and notifies you of a positive but sometimes it also doesn't) , this is the only supported way by Google (even tho I still consider it bad design).

       @lynatic I don’t think their comment was helpful or productive. Thanks for following up anyway.
