When I opened the comment, there was just a thumbnail of the image, which looked very different from the full size, and I had no idea what thread this was.
I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and I am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Islidur Elendil’s son of Gondor. Here is the sword that was broken and is forged again!
Ok It it's AI generated but I want to know what's happening at the cognitive level. This is unlike other multistable images I've seen before. Can someone explain how this works brain-wise?
Since birth our brains are wired to look for faces. It helps with survival when the helpless wiggly thing bonds with the giant who is full of hormones telling them to protect it.
As we grow we learn to recognize other patterns, which help us find food, be safe, find a mate, etc. Our brains are constantly looking to match everything we see with something from a previous experience. Which is unfortunately one of the places PTSD can pop up. Say you had a traumatic experience - you may not remember seeing someone wearing a red hat just prior to something terrible happening, but your brain might. In the aftermath it’s possible that you find yourself uncomfortable around someone wearing a red hat but can’t figure out why. You may not remember, but your brain does and thinks it’s helping by alerting you too a problem.
It’s a pretty good case for photo editing programs too if you look at the hand anatomy and the car in the background and basically any other detail in the work
Throwing photoshop at it will just be more use of AI.
People who can get this kind of stuff out of AI almost certainly know how to inpaint, they probably even have enough of an artistic eye to do it, the question now becomes: Why would you. Perfect graphical fidelity is not required for the artistic statement. I mean if you were to hang it up in a gallery, sure, but it’s a throwaway meme the internet will have forgotten tomorrow, anyway.
I, a barely good person, would give my one life for far less than saving literally every person in history from an eternal hell. Yet when Jesus does it as a mere symbolic gesture we’re supposed to take a permanent guilt trip? Get fucked, loser.
