One more thing.

If you look at the artifacts on the poster, they look replicated. For instance, look at the little mark to the left of his face:

That, and other hints, are sus.

…Does that mean it’s AI? Maybe. Maybe they printed that way to give it a “rough” look, or maybe all the posters were in a stack when they got damaged. Or maybe someone asked ChatGPT or Gemini to tessellate this poster across the wall, which has the exact same artifacts:

Or maybe you can find the original poster JPEG if you keep digging.

Also, the original image? 6000x4000 pixels, precisely.

That the exact resolution of 24MP camera sensors (like the Canon R8 or R50), but it’s also something AI could output, too.

I just don’t want you to misinterpret me: this could absolutely be AI. 100%.

Could be real. I think its real.

But you’ll never get an answer, and don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

I’m arguing, with all due respect, that your original question of “Is this AI” does not matter, because you can’t trust random posts from strangers anyway. You never could. I’m not trying to be impolite, but that’s intended to be a cold bucket of water in the face.
