      It’s AI upscaled. The original was probably a low quality screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot.

      Did they try to anonymise its origin or something? O.o

      My theory is the background sucked so they blacked it out, but also maybe took a photo of it on a phone that uses an overzealous AI tool that redrew over the existing words to make them clearer
      (TL;DR: AI upscale is the term I was looking for)

      Edit: It may have been an AI upscale of a blurry photo. Here are the results of a bad screenshot ran through my phone’s upscaler:

          So the posted image is ai up scaled.

          The profile pic is some ai slopbeast.

          So back to the original question, is the post itself shit out by an or not?

          Gotta say, not a huge fan of this new internet.

            The profile pic you’re looking at is what was run through the AI upscaler, not necessarily what the user actually has.

            I found a less blurry version of the screenshot and their profile pic doesn’t look AI generated, or remotely like what the AI upscaler produced.
