Citation needed, there are many pics of this one and no real reason to think it's AI. Also the fact that the pic is at least 3 years old from when AI slop wasn't nearly as convincing.

    • eyelets don’t seem to be connected to anything
    • the rails appear above the minion for some reason
    • the rails end oddly when it transitions to the minion

    Huh, on closer inspection I think it was terribly AI "enhanced" at some point. https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/jdadmm/minion_ciws_lmao/?show=original There's versions of it from 5+ years ago as well as ones where the barrel looks fine https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fo0qudv7ofnq41.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa0ac0db241bcbe67a47b29fb180805f5ae58d9d

    There's also another angle also from around 4+ years ago https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/phalanx-close-in-weapon-system-1-9-scale.307034/page-3 that shows a lot of the same features matching

    i hate this era of people calling every photo taken with mediocre phone cameras and "enhanced" via simple filters by most mid phones in the last decade ai slop

    edit: tbf this was edited/"enhanced" after that, but still
