Odd looking rifles

[kjohn]

These came off another site. Anybody know what they are??

AI generated? Doesn't look right. The history may be correct but photos can be easily faked now.

Looks like a fake image. The rifle on the right. Has a large ring receiver but split bridge receiver. No rear sight. Also has a fireball length barrel

The left rifle is a mess too. Looks like a large ring Mauser. Extra knob above the bolt handle. No step in the barrel where it meets the receiver. No rear sight. Some sort of manlicher magazine.

For battle of Berlin the soldiers look to well fed too.

The rifle on the left; the bolt handle doesn’t go to the bolt. The rifle on the right is just a mess.

AI garbage image, and the 33rd were french nazi collaborators folded into the SS. Idiot nazis dying for a bigger idiot who had already killed himself

Dr Mark Felton has some interesting YT videos on these foreign volunteers to the SS and their final days.

Fake image.

Some funny looking rifles thats for sure

AI crap. I suggest a 'disposable garbage' section where mind rot can be posted, and other crap such as facebook reels. Posting AI images in historical context here is not a good thing. Who wants ai images flooding cgn hands up please.

AI can't do human hands very well, have a close look at them in the picture.

AI is getting better, but still not quite there yet. A few more years and it'll have images down, then we'll all be screwed.

Bro, chill. Ever take 5 seconds to think maybe it was an honest mistake? Many people aren't up to date with the nuances of AI image generation.

You wanted input you got input. Sorry!


AI was ballyhooed starting about 2-3 years ago. People were saying how fantabulous all AI chat programs were. The clappeurs must have all been USA based typical redditors. I always found AI chatbots were copying and pasting crap from wiki verbatim. I also found all AI chatbots to be aggressively Amerocentric and very progressive centric. AI chatbots are only as good as the programming which is very biased and very mediocre on the best day. The images it comes up with are peculiar at best. The hands seem to be a big challenge for it to render properly. If you see a military image and you cannot identify say a tank or weapon, or if the background is weird it is likely AI.

 

[Tarrantula]

The dead giveaway at this point in time as mentioned is usually hands/fingers. For some reason AI has trouble properly rendering them. I noticed the right hand of the individual in the foreground seems to blend into the stock of the rifle.

 

[canuck]

.....and the fingers of the left hand of the second guy are backwards
Gotta be honest, this #### freaks me out for the future

 

[Quiet]

Look at the grip angle of the right hand on the guy in front. Wrong angle for holding that type of stock and his thumb blends into the wood like its in some sci-fi parallel dimension.

It's a sad world we live in when we can't even believe the pictures that are being posted.

Yes, I’ve watched that. A good episode & as everyone else said… it’s a stupid (and badly done) AI image..

It's not surprising. I'm not sure why, but even the Disney and Warner Brothers cartoon artists had trouble with hands. That's supposedly why cartoon characters have 3 fingers. Apparently it's easier to do hands with one less finger.
