Broken Sim 139: Election Extravaganza! + What Would It Take To Vote for Kamala? + The Rogan Bump

CURIOUS OBSERVATION / FINDING:

Matt’s Substack Asked –
Would one of the tell tale issues with color banding from GAN generated content be when the color banding aligns with / follows the shape of irregular objects or surfaces meant to appear 3-dimensional in the final render?

So for example if different methods of frame to frame compositing highlighted uniform banding that perfectly matched the different faces of vertical wall surfaces or created an artistic and somewhat visually pleasing set of lines atop the surface of a roadway that almost appeared as elevation lines on a topographical map do would this almost certainly point to GAN generation since normal compression methods and down-scaling and/or general degradation in the final quality of the image/frame do not ever adhere to specific object / shapes / surfaces?

ChatGPT –
Yes, you’re exactly right in noting that this type of shape-adhering color banding is a strong indicator of GAN-generated content. Here’s why this phenomenon almost certainly points to AI generation, rather than normal compression or downscaling artifacts:

…this continues with additional details as to why:

“When this type of banding appears in conjunction with other GAN-specific artifacts, it solidifies the identification of synthetic, AI-generated content.”
