I find it funny that China is basically the wet dream of gamers but somehow they hate it
The moment China beats Taiwan at computer hardware production, it’s game over.
Haha, women be shopping, amirite?
Yeah, this is just “I hate my wife/my husband is a child” humor with Chinese characteristics.
Is this a
Oh you think these pods are just for goofing off and gaming while the misses shops? [water starts raising inside] No, no Mr. Bond, this is your doom!
Isn’t that just an internet cafe but stuck in the places where stalls selling sunglasses and random makeup or whatever would be in an American mall (15 years ago, at least; I don’t know if they still bother in the few remaining malls)?
It has the vibes of the ball pit at Ikea. And when the wife comes to tell him it’s time to go, he will throw a tantrum
AI. All the monitors have the same image on them.
Not all fakery is AI. There is such a thing as a conceptual render done by engineering firms and product companies for pitches that has existed long before AI was a thing. Sometimes they take short-cuts like copy and pasting parts.
It’s definitely AI, look at the eldritch monstrosity to the far right behind the woman with the black purse
look at the eldritch monstrosity
No, I don’t think I will
I actually think that looks like a woman with her hand up, like she’s brushing her hair back or something
Still AI though
ah yeah, i kinda see it. Apparently the Chinese writing easily gives this away as AI for people who are familiar with Chinese, but still, something about else this image besides that woman’s face screams AI, but I can’t really place it in specifics.
The writing on the wall is either an AI hallucination or an extinct form of Chinese.

image is doctored for sure but it seems to be a real thing
The hanzi don’t make sense. Including on the shops in the background. I’d say the whole picture is generated.
This is the correct answer
Was about to say this. The guy in the third pod is also facing the back of the second guy’s TV. The text on the yellow poster and black hanging sign is garbled. The first box has some black text/graphic on it and is also garbled. The latin text in the background above first monitor has oddly shaped letters and is nonsense (DETECIT? PETEOIT?). The doorway into the first box is entirely blocked by the table and PC.
I hate how AI has turned me into an AI detective, having to deeply analyze every single image I see. Didn’t ever think this would be a skill I’d have to learn or have. What strange times we exist in.
The “what’s wrong with this picture” game escaped containment and now spans the entire digital world.
They’re all just on the exact same level of the same game.
Most AI couldn’t reproduce the same image at different brightnesses with varying obstruction like this. It would be a hundred times easier to just have them look at an image that is actually on the monitor.
Not sure what you’re on about here, this has been a thing AI has done for a long time now. There are hundreds of thousands of images like this:
It’s obvious in the left one that the screens have a similar sort of layout but have clearly different images. The ones on the right look a lot more similar but I think you can still see differences in the shape on the left side of the screen.
And you can see the same slight differences in the original image OP posted. I specifically posted images from older AI models to show that they’ve been able to do this for a long time. Your point is nonsense.
The images in the OOP look like they just have different brightness to me.
Here are the bottom right of the first two screens, which are similar, but different, because AI is dogshit at making user interfaces. There are other minor differences as well, just like in the additional examples I gave. The entire point is that AI has this thing for repeating display screens throughout an image and the slight inaccuracies give it away.
But forget the screens. You are focused on one single detail and missing all the others. I’ve outlined many others in another comment in this thread. But just look at this one detail again:
Here you have:
- The person on the left is sitting right up against the glass (look at his shoe).
- He is playing on a desk that goes through the glass and into the next box. (The edge of the table is visible between boxes. Only the front legs of the table appear inside the box)
- The person on the right is seated facing away from his own screen, facing the back of the screen of the person on the left.
None of this makes any sense because… the image is AI.
I understand now. Thank you for patiently explaining it to me.
The writing on the wall is completely nonsensical.
It actually seems like each monitor is shooting the image a few frames apart
The fact it’s the same tells me it’s not AI
no, these guys have wives
Personally when I go shopping with my wife I like to be near her, look at stuff together, etc.
It’s funny and kind of thoughtful, but I do wish we’d move on from the gendered aspect as a society. Most partnerships consist of people with diverging interests and sometimes you don’t want to ask your loved one to wait while you try on 11 different pairs of pants, because that’ll stress you out
In my experience there, China is all about gender roles…
I’d settle for just a nice chair to sit on somewhere nearby… Wi-Fi would be a plus
