I can't imagine caring what some celebrity does with their life, especially to the point of performatively holding up a sign like that in public.

i'm guessing AI image based on her fingers and some other odd elements like the wonky shelving. Could be an AI template with shopped text too.

I thinl this is just a template with the woman holding blank cardboard. The fingers can make sense if you zoom in. Also the guy in the front and the reflections in the mirrors look to real.

I agree, the text looks more like a drawing tablet/touchscreen handwriting than actual marker on cardboard to me. It doesn't seem to be affected by the creases in the cardboard and the lines are much thicker for "Taylor" which doesn't make sense if it's all the same marker.

The fingers can make sense if you zoom in.

That's SUCH a bizarre sentence out of context! I love it! 😄

I feel like it must have been a meme at some point - I seem to remember there was a version that Uniqlo had tried to use as a under the radar advertisement

maybe your app renders them better but this is what i get when i zoom and those 9 pixels look wrong to me!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like she is holding it something like this if you can imagine.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I did the same test after seeing the comment! Hands are weird!

Nah it's not AI. The UPS sign is perfect. His eyes are matching the sign perfectly. Text all matches. Her fingers probably just got tired. I can see 3 distinct ones and her thumb.

Hold up a flat object like that, it does look weird but hands can be weird. I imitated it pretty easily with a book when I saw your comment

How do you know that this is about a celebrity? "Taylor" is an extremely common name.

[–] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My name is Taylor. She was talking to me.

I was in the process, but we tore it up in a fit of passion like George Clooney in Intolerable Cruelty.
