Reporter's AI-accusation backfires: real man with cluttered houseplants mistaken for AI
gleech · x · 2026-09-03
A round of mockery around a report where a reporter, acting as an "AI-accusation generator," claimed a photo was AI-generated — only the subject was a real, gassy man with cluttered houseplants who seemed unsure if he even wanted to be in his kitchen. Commenters pile on: "roaming around your apartment, Max? burping??"
It's a classic AI-circle bit of drama: the reporter signs off as the "truly merciful reporter (human)," highlighting how easily humans now get flagged as AI.
