ehm... shouldn't the motion blur be on the bike and not on the surroundings with a static camera?

    Weird Fact: The Geico Caveman commercial 'characters' ended up in their own TV series called Cavemen. It only lasted one season.

    It was super racist and Nick Kroll was in it

    Wasn't that, like, the whole premise? That in a world where "cavemen" (apparently neanderthals?) exist alongside humans as we know them into the present day, "It's so easy, a caveman could do it" becomes racist abuse?

    I guess the best you could do with that premise are a series of Very Special Episodes, but I bet that's not what happened. I didn't watch the show, like most people I was like "This isn't going to make a show worth seeing.

    Pedalling with crocs sucks. I do it sometimes when I go to my cabin and need to get back to the entrance 300 metres away. It's soft, pliable and uncomfortable.

    I really want to know the original context of the photo. I suspect the face and hair are prosthetic and it's a younger rider doing something like a Jackass skit; like you say, the bike is easily upwards of $10k.

    This is easily my favorite photo of the day. Why's he looking directly at the camera? Seems like he's in the middle of a pretty fast turn.

    Its from a commercial, I'd link to it if I could remember what they were selling.

    You couldn't even look through the comments? It isn't.

    Actually at the time I commented, I only saw other people in the comments who thought the same. 🤷

    In the context and how he said it, it implies the comments came after his imo. It was already quite clear at a glance by the time he commented.

    Why is he saying "actually" if he's responding to being told he didn't look through the comments, by affirming he didn't look?

    They said "I only saw comments saying XYZ".

    Your response was "literally a lie".

    Any context making you believe this is false does not make it "literally" a lie. At best, it's "literally" the truth being portrayed in a misleading way (which, I really don't think it is).

    Not really sure what your goal is anyways. They obviously didn't see the comment. Why spend time hyper-analyzing the probability of if they might have seen it or not?

    The comment was bullshit in the first place and the fact that it wasn't AI was already pointed out. I am fucking tired of the slop police so maybe I'm being a bit too intense about it.

    Maybe I misunderstood and he was agreeing with me that he didn't read the comments, but it just didn't come off that way to me.

    If you look at the frame of the bike, around where the rear shock is, it doesn't look right. Also, the scale is off, this dude would be ridiculously tall if this was a normal sized bike. Look at the size of the seat, for example.

    Look at the frame. It makes no sense. The front wheel has both disk brakes and caliper brakes, but the bars have no brake levers. The front disk with different slots on one side. I could go on. On the other hand, there is a bike that looks like this, so I'm not sure any more. That front disk is definitely not right.

    Mate you're confusing mtb suspension parts for brakes and slop. The brake handles on these are short to be used with just a couple fingers and angled downwards.

    Edit: yeah, that's exactly the kind of bike I meant.

    Those are usual inconsistencies and errors and artifacts, and a healthy amount of incapability to explain what you don't know. Those have existed since long before AI.

    I've seen this picture many many years ago, before stable diffusion was a thing.
