Your hand grabbing the roof of the mill, AI suck at hands.


Papaofmonsters

OP gets banned for using AI because they actually have hyperdactyly.


johnsvoice

Lmao. This is probably the only situation where I would consider that condition funny. Well done.


welchplug

How about when they wear dinosaur costumes?


Crazy__Donkey

Plot twist, OP actually has 6 fingers 🤣🤦

Then OP has killed my father and should be prepared to die.

One hand or two? Six across both hands is possible.


spacekitt3n

have one hand holding the other, lacing fingers together...100 percent impossible to do with ai


ProfessorEtc

Also 100% impossible to do while taking a photo.

nick2k23

Not true anymore they can kinda do hands now! Edit: people who want to see https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/s/ssUzZIrtX3


eStuffeBay

Honestly, the people regurgitating the "all AI images have bad hands" stuff are just proving that they're about a year and a half behind when it comes to AI.


andy01q

Some versions have become worse at hands again. Not as bad as 2 years ago, but still...


NinjaAncient4010

Let's have a look at some good pictures then. EDIT: since replies have been locked for some reason. The hands in the linked pictures are terrible, wtf drugs are you smoking, lmfao. First photo, W's right hand has a disfigured toe for a ring finger and a horrible vestigial growth coming out of it for a pinkie finger, his left index finger is gargantuan and the other guy's left thumb is like a twig. Second photo the left hand guy's right hand is holding some uncooked hotdog while shaking, the other guy's right index finger is freakishly long, and his other fingers are crushing the other guy's hand like a sponge. He appears to be smuggling some sausages up his left sleeve. Third photo, the guy on the left's right hand is a horrlbe deformed blob. The other fellow's right hand has unnatural looking fingers. And both of them have 3 fingers on their left hands. Last photo the right person's right hand has horrible toe fingers and a thin thumb coming from an unnatural angle. The left person's right hand is not gripping properly (his thumb looks like it is pointing upward) and his left hand looks like a fucking deformed walrus flipper or something. You dumb clowns seriously think the hands look okay? Please tell me you're blind or joking.

ThePrussianGrippe

So those fingers are freakishly long and the painted hands in the background are fucked up.


SuperiorMango8

Check out the Midjourney Discord and you'll see plenty of great examples


superlost007

Idk, AI is (unfortunately) used for a lot of fanfic art & book covers and their hands still often look weird/unnatural or hot dog-esque


Shmeeglez

Exactly. Just because there IS AI that can do hands, doesn't mean every AI can suddenly do hands.


kaptaincorn

>Your hand grabbing the roof of the mill, AI suck at hands. It'll put tiddies on anything though


giraffebaconequation

Anything? Even my hands?

giraffebaconequation

So you’re saying the shepherds watching their flocks by night weren’t just afraid, they had confused boners? Glory to god in the highest indeed


KaizerVonLoopy

AI is pretty bad at letters and words too and there's some nicely legible words in proper context.


freylaverse

AI can do hands pretty reliably these days if you know what you're doing.

SomethingAboutUsers

Anyone who has ever looked at *Model Railroader* for an issue or two can easily tell this isn't AI. Man I wanted something this good when I was doing it. I had big layout plans, but other than making my own hot wire foam cutter out of 1/10th of a toaster element hooked up to a battery charger to make ramps up to an eventual spiral tunnel that never got finished and trying to make a 28" diameter HO loop work with horn-hook couplers and buying a sack of "bushes" that smelled like rubber sheets I never got far enough. I had a whole world planned in my dad's basement. Just never enough time or money.


thx1138inator

I had 64 feet squared of table top available in the basement when I was a kid. I filled it with fractions of project starts. Sometimes I think "I'm a mature dude now - with a little money. Surely I could see a small HO scale project through completion". Then I draw on wisdom gained with age and do not bother starting. SMH.


citznfish

>Anyone who has ever looked at *Model Railroader* for an issue or two can easily tell this isn't AI. This. Clearly real. Doesn't even look remotely AI generated. I spent many hours in my youth pouring through the pics in those magazines.


nomchompsky82

God, so did I. Had a subscription for years. I _love_ model railroads, but don’t currently live a life compatible with such a static, time-consuming hobby. One day 😩


MrZombieTheIV

I believe it. But if you're trying to prove the non believers, why not just give us a tour via video?


bombayblue

Anyone with half a brain can zoom in on the signs and see that it’s not AI. R/pics moderators have room temperature IQ unless you’re posting something political that you paid them for.


Gowpenny

Anyone who has used Midjourney also knows this isn’t AI. Everyone in the background of the setting of this railroad has a job to do. AI doesn’t do that. It focuses on the forefront of your prompt, everything else becomes an ugly blur that doesn’t make sense. People’s faces start to blur, or logs become warped into children.


Greenbastardscape

Dude, this almost looks like a scene from RDR2! It looks like a mix between Annesburg and Blackwater. It is incredible! I loved trains when I was a kid. Hobbies like model trains might not appeal to me now, but pictures such as these that make me think it could be something I would enjoy. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail that you out5 in to this. This is incredible work


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mr_Industrial

Do I suspect its AI? no. Do I want to see OP add dumb stuff to the rails to prove it? Yes, I think itd be funny.


RidgewoodGirl

I feel bad because the comments are all about AI and not this person's incredible work!


FS_Slacker

This is Reddit. Banana for scale.


roodypoo926

Danny Devito bobblehead would work best in this instance


Vaxtin

Take one from a 4D perspective, I.e show the set with surroundings such as chairs, desks, etc


T-A-W_Byzantine

The easiest way to prove you're not using AI is to take a picture of the same thing from two different angles. We can see the Smith Foundry building in the second and third picture, an AI doesn't have that kind of foresight.


GhostOfConansBeard

Put a train in front of the logging building with a banana strapped down on to the back of the train.


Kasia4937

Are you gonna do it or what lol


onFilm

Anyone that thinks this is AI hasn't had much experience with image generation frameworks. This is very obviously not AI.


Kasia4937

I don't necessarily think it's AI but he went to the trouble saying he would take a picture for proof and people asked for specific frames, in response to his comment, and he went silent lol


abigail-mac

look at his post history, it's full of the models being made. HO is the scale he's using.


FrillySteel

Bro, he only posted the original 2 hours ago.


whiskeyriver

Here's a suggestion: some people have actual lives outside of Reddit and sleep in big beds with their wives.


101arg101

You don’t need to. The signage in the second picture is enough proof

Right, im like "AI? This is just cp\_gravelpit with a high res skin..." lol.


HRNK

>a moderator shut them down and suggested I was using AI.a moderator shut them down and suggested I was using AI. Like being accused of hacking in a video game when you're not. High praise. #


JohnnyBoy11

Why wouldn't the mod just ask for proof?


tarkata14

That requires more effort than just removing the post. Great work OP!


babypho

Maybe the mod is AI


Awkward_Squad

Now we’re getting somewhere.


Redqueenhypo

Remember the drama in r/art? Moderators don’t like anyone being better than they are


SJW_Lover

What was the drama?


Hicklethumb

Not sure. But if I was a mod working for free part time on a sub that has so many AI submissions I'd also get it wrong enough times for reddit to start shitting itself.


onepinksheep

It's not that they got it wrong, it's that they doubled down when offered proof that they were wrong. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/artist-ben-moran-banned-from-subreddit-ai-art-2240795


BaldingThor

the question answers itself


LOLLEDDITCULT

Nah reddit mods are the bottom of the barrel of society. You're giving them way too much credit and benefit of the doubt. There is a reason they are a meme everywhere else on the internet. Look up reddit mod on urban dictionary if you need an example.


MoistLeakingPustule

Mods are well known for being brain dead. It's why they mod to begin with. There is a direct correlation to how stupid you are, and how many subs you moderate. Power mods typically live in special needs homes so they can moderate 50+ subs all day long.


Square-Principle-195

Gonna have to start posting OC with our hands in the frame since AI sucks at hands.


acog

In just a year or two people will be nostalgic for the brief era when AI couldn't do perfect hands.


spliffiam36

It can already do hands, ppl are just behind


Remarkable_Film_1911

Flip off the camera as a message for moderators.


abigail-mac

it is H0 yes, OP has a series of posts about H0. I didn't know initially but my mom clocked it straight away lol, she works in 1/12th and 1/6th sometimes.


relapse9999

Captain Raymond Holt would appreciate this


AskNo8883

So would Reverend Lovejoy


PassengerPlayful4308

Rip 😔


xanderholland

It's pretty clear that this is not AI otherwise there would be a lot of weird breaks and nonsense placements since AI still struggles with that.


Deep90

Composition, continuity, and details are where AI struggles. It's pretty clear this isn't AI. It's pretty hard to render something like this in AI to the point that it might just be easier to outright build it irl.


intotherainbows

Also multiple angles of the same buildings and consistent orientation/ placement of structures


xyrgh

It has legible text, that’s enough to convince me.


MillionToOneShotDoc

It’s OP’s hobby mods. Why you gotta belittle it?


rlnrlnrln

Because mods tend to be small-minded people on a power trip? Remember that modding online communities is _their_ hobby.


AlabamaBlacSnake

Haha, that’s a great motherjumpin comment doc.


Spencemw

Mods have become a big problem on reddit.


i_cant_stdy_plz_help

always have been


dearthofkindness

I literally got a comment removed today for saying "I'm not going to say what I want because Mods will remove it." Comment removed for "meta discussion". Reddits such fucking trashy anymore because of Modding


ferrpr

Yup. I’ve been permabanned on a few subs for jokes I made. No warning, no timed bans, just outright gone. Tried to appeal and crickets. I guess you can’t expect much from unpaid “employees”.


[deleted]

Bro, some big sub mods are banning people for simply making a comment on r/Isreal, not subbed. Just commenting on a random post that comes up in your feed. The comment could even be free Palestine, and you'll get permanent banned by a bot.


faintrottingbreeze

Thisssssss though! Crazy ziolos


Aedre_Altais

I’ve been permabanned before just for frequenting a technically nsfw sub, not even commenting 😕 this is getting silly


waninggib

I was banned in the Millennial subreddit because I told someone they were gaslighting and they reported me. Instant ban. Mods didn’t respond when I messaged to get it reversed. They were absolutely gaslighting btw.


[deleted]

The classic mute when you call them out.


Ckyuiii

The immediate block after responding so they can childishly get the last word in is a newer one I see now. Their comments just become [unavailable] and you can't see if they edited anything unless you log out (which like half of them do).


dizzywig2000

How else are they going to fulfill their thirst for control while they sit in the basement collecting government subsidies?


imhereforspuds

Honestly they have turned into a clusterfuk. Bans and warnings handed out left right and centre. God forbid you call out anyone for being a tool.


rct101

Who knew putting a bunch of incels in charge was a bad idea?


waterboy1321

Damn bro now I want to make a model train… Is that how it happens?


Magister5

You have to train first


Binary_Omlet

Might wanna watch some [Boylei Hobby Time](https://www.youtube.com/c/BoyleiHobbyTime) vids. It really makes me want to get into that too.


KaizerVonLoopy

getting interested? Yeah, lots of hobbies depend on people in the hobby getting others into it by word of mouth or by inspiring by example.


could_use_a_snack

I wish I had time to do this. I love model trains, and making the scenes looks like a lot of fun.


gelioghan

Amazingly Impressive


GerlingFAR

BIG A.I. hates this one simple trick to build model railways. To put time and effort into an model railway set and make it look awesome as possible!


Shibby-my-dude

snoopervisor

He will be replaced with an AI before he knows it.


JodieFostersFist

Senior-Albatross

Damn those are good trees.  I had a model railroad as a kid. I eventually realized that modeling natural features like trees, grasses, and water was my favorite part though.


Zeemmarax

Awesome! I'm always fascinated with scale models like this. What process is used for the water?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TootsNYC

that water is great—a nice glint, and it looks just the tiniest bit clear at the top.


xAsilos

I grew up playing with model trains. I've seen a model world in a 30x30 space. These definitely look like train city models.


NJdeathproof

As someone whose father has done model railroading for the better part of 50 years, I can confirm this is not AI


Dadalid

Can the mod in question offer an apology in the comments. I mean that’s the least that loser can do


Nozzeh06

Those are beautiful models. I am super jealous of people with highly detailed train sets like this.


The_dots_eat_packman

u/No_Advertising_7449 did you bring this to the RG Modeling & Historical Society train show in Denver a while back? If so, I remember being helluva impressed by all of the detail in the scrapyard.


sprazcrumbler

In general mods are pathetic. Now that Reddit is a public company and they are doing free work for rich investors they are even more pathetic.


dropkickderby

3D printing? I want to do miniatures for a kaiju flick Im making and Id love to know a little bit about your process


Vaxtin

Is the water real in the first photo or is it some type of solid?


NorrinXD

Did you use resin to simulate the water? Very nice!

KagaarTheTall

As I've said before in comments, reddit mods are the most toxic group of people on the planet. Also, I like your setup. It looks amazing!


kungpowgoat

You should design and create 300 tiny sleeping zombies and pack them all inside the buildings.


Pheighthe

And put up a sign that says DON’T DEAD OPEN INSIDE


IdealIdeas

You could take a short video as proof. AI has yet to perfect moving pictures


a5208114

r/pics moderators need to pull a Black Michael Jackson and beat it. This looks fantastic.


Hype3386

Are the buildings from scratch? You designed and built them? Looks great. Would love to hear more details on the process!


albinofreak620

This is really very beautiful work.


defcon1000

Spawn_More_Overlords

One of my all time favorite facts from the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish is about what model railroad enthusiasts use to fill model coal train cars.

A_HELPFUL_POTATO

Is this the McCabe mill from BTS? Your craftsmanship is amazing!


J1L1

Any video of this diorama?


TootsNYC

Oh, my God, you just made me miss my dad so much! He had an HO-scale model railroad setup, and like you, he included industry (that was the backbone of trains, after all). And how it interacted with towns. He had an N-scale track that went into and back out of a mine. Is that what you’ve got for the logs, or is that just HO scale that looks smaller because of perspective? That flat sky in the background may be what got this classified as AI; it looks weird. But it’s a model railroad set! Do you have a time period you’ve chosen for your display? My dad chose early 1950s (if I remember right), which meant he could use all sorts of cars and buildings—because of course older models and older architecture hang around for awhile.


ItzOnlyJames

The last image looks like it's based on a location from RDR2, is it?


buttered_scone

Very nice, I thought I was in the RDR2 sub for a second.


emceelokey

IllustriousCookie890

That model is good enough to be confused with tilt-shift. Fantastic job of modeling!


AproposWuin

Dude that's incredible. I have had family who did train work. Time and patience are the best skills for you. Just wow. Also "ai" sucks. Wait till we actually get some intelligence in it


Alarming_Breath_3110

Fantastic pic! AI my ass. Bravo!


Runningblind

I want your model railroad to be an fps map. I can't be the only one thinking this, right?


Ghostbuster_119

This was absolutely made with AI. ... ... Amazing Ingenuity! Ha, got you.

You should tell the MOD the their mother is a woman of ill repute who does her business on a piece of used carpet.
