I mean, if you zoom in and actually read the text, it very quickly becomes noticeable as fake
Look at the numbers on the scale. Look at the “Downloaid” numbers. Look at the fact that “Syert” is apparently a data unit.
Or how about the fact that something apparently managed to “Uploaid” 97.70 Bytes? Not KB. Not MB. Bytes. You can’t upload .7 bytes, because a byte isn’t divisible by 10. A byte has 8 bits, so it is only measured in eighths. You could upload .625B, or .75B, but not .70B.
On the day that’s between 31\ and 59, the scale that goes from 15poc to 301 000 is making up less Uploaid, of which the total is 53,8B Syert. Both totals are 3.66 GB
It’s been around for several years. It’s probably been passed around so much that the image quality degraded and someone sharpened it with AI which disrupted the text.
I saw this probably 6-7 years ago on reddit, the answer was that the appliance was attempting to download and install an update, then failing the update for some reason, so it was constantly re-downloading the patch all day.
Nothing nefarious or AI slop (other that some crappy image correction) about this.
Pretty disappointed in Lemmy not noticing and downvoting this AI slop.
I’m all for calling out bullshit IoT garbage but zoom in and look closer.
You’re right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??

Lovely_reader doing the real investigative journalism here, I love it ☺️
So yes it’s ai slopified, but it is also a real graph that didn’t need to be slopified but was done so using AI upscaling.
So, everyone is right in a way fun twist 😅
Pretty sure I saw a post version of this like a year ago or so, with the font not janky in any way
What makes you think this is AI?

Worst part? The original is super easy to find, and also didn’t need up-scaling at all.
Maybe it’s in Gaelic

Uploaid and downloaid, and many of the numbers in the chart are in no order
The suggestions that are being used as placeholders for numbers.
True however it could be ai upscaling. I seem to remember this post or at least something similar.
Shit almost missed it. Thank you.
