@catflyhigh@troet.cafe @feliks@chaos.social The blur and straight clipping artefacts around the title feel very much like human-made image editing. Also looks like a bit of sharpening was applied. If I had to edit an old scan like this, I would use similar techniques. Also, it is a legit mad print, I think chances are high a human was paid for this.

@chaosthief@mastoart.social aah, thank you for the info. I did not get it, that the meme above is the real page No. 43 in No. 041/2025. And I am fine with image editing, I do that from time to time too, but only with a low skill, and so I make it really bad on purpose, so everybody will realize it is a fake, because I never will be professional with this stuff. I am against using AI to cheat artists out of their money. But I agree, from my lowskill standpoint I also think it is editing and not AI. @feliks@chaos.social
