^^^ And so you will never ever be able to believe in any kind of image for the rest of time unless you took the picture. It is pointless to view images now.

Supposedly there is an AI Spanish model making 10k euros a month promoting products and lifestyle. She gets messages every day asking her out. Here, take my laptop, but give it back clean.

There's AI image detection. I don't know how accurate it is, or for how long it will be. Counterfeit images have been around for a long time, via Photoshop type software- AI just makes it more effortless and it will certainly get better.

Scary times.

The picture of that weldment has been around for many years...it is an amazing display of a stack of nickels...

I have personally seen a guy weld a soda can that was cut in half, back together...

I wouldn't even know how to do it, but why not ask a AI engine to display a perfectly welded stainless steel tee joint

Maybe a robot weld. Very common on mass produced items. Unlikely an AI image.

One of my friends is a professional welder and has owned his own business welding for 30 years. He had a client bring some large parts to weld. When he delivered them the employees all came over and admired his work. The boss's wife saw the guys huddled around something and was convinced they were looking at porn. She started yelling for them to get to work, and she was ready to fire the pervert with porn only to see the pretty welds the company ordered.

Some guys can weld better than robots. The weave on that weld is phenomenal if it was done by hand.

Edit: as a welder I examined that image and can see each movement and there are the subtle differences. Someone welded that by hand.

And if it's been around for awhile, then there's that.

The Tudor Merchant House, also known as Number 16 Edmund Street, boasted the distinction of being a Grade II listed building until its fate was threatened by the construction of a new road, signaling its imminent demolition. Originating from around 1430, this ancient structure held the honor of being one of Exeter's oldest surviving houses. Unfortunately, its dilapidated condition rendered it seemingly insignificant to some, leading to its slated demise.
However, the tenacious efforts of archaeologists played a crucial role in reevaluating its importance. Recognizing its architectural and historical significance, the house was listed just in the nick of time, ultimately saving it from destruction. The intervention of Exeter City Council, in conjunction with government support, earmarked £10,000 to orchestrate the relocation of the house, allowing it to coexist harmoniously with the new road.
To carry out this ambitious move, a London-based company led by Mr. Fordham Pryke, alongside the assistance of a local firm, T D Keate, were commissioned for the task. The mission entailed transporting the house approximately 70 meters away from its original location at the intersection of Edmund Street and Frog Street to a fresh spot near the old West Gate, situated at the base of West Street.
The relocation process was an intricate affair, requiring meticulous preparation over several weeks. The timber framework of the house was carefully reinforced with 10 tons of strengthening timbers, and iron wheels were strategically positioned at each corner, connected to hydraulic jacks. The entire structure, weighing an impressive 21 tons, was treated with utmost care, ensuring no harm would befall the original timbers by abstaining from using iron bolts, screws, or supports against them.
Given its top-heavy nature, extra precautions were taken during the relocation. The hydraulic jacks played a pivotal role in maintaining the house's upright position throughout the move, and frequent checks using spirit levels ensured its stability. With dedication and precision.
