@Gargron Why not look at it a bit more and reason it out with me as a second opinion, okay? How do you suppose a clover (a four leaf one no less) has had all the leaf tissue besides the veins within turn into clear ice? It's not a possibility in nature so we can conclude that it's either LLM generated (which I'm not immensely confident it is) or it's staged and the clover is a creation by a human rather than machine? I do prefer the last one vastly as long as we're approaching this as a piece of artistic expression, not a photo in the moment of an unbelievable phenomena.

@nini But you are the one who shared it. It’s your responsibility.

@Gargron Sightengine gives it a 99% possibility of being AI, and it's most probably the case here.

@fringemagnet I tried finding the original source for the photo and found nothing except Pinterest and Facebook posts sharing the image. This is a strong indicator of the image not being real, additionally to the physical improbability of the depicted scenario. “AI detectors” use the same technology as AI generators and cannot be relied on.

@Gargron I was thinking the same.

Four-leafed is rare. 3 lobes per leaf doesn't happen, because of the way the leaves grow. If it did, the veins would match the lobes, which they don't. Freezing doesn't magically make the flesh of the leaf disappear. If you take the flesh away, ice wouldn't naturally form in leaf shapes.

This is definitely artificial, though conceivably physically created then photographed.

@Gargron AI generated imagery annoys me supremely. It undermines both nature and art. A plague.

@fringemagnet The title of this page translates to "Wallpapers for iPhone". Pinterest is also not a place where people upload their own creations, it's a bookmarking website for stuff people find on the web.

@fringemagnet To be clear I appreciate that you tried verifying the image and finding the original source. I hope that you appreciate me contributing to that as well. I don't want over 600 people to be misled about a fake image.
