I’m perplexed. I was researching 2ACR tanks for a model and I found this picture from 1983.
What bothers me is the tracks and running gear. It looks like this vehicle has drive sprockets on the front and rear and the tracks don’t look like any I’ve seen on other M60s. Are there any tankers out there that can help with this?? Thank you.
I think is is an AI image. The TC’s M85 gun doesn’t look right either. The lower rear hull looks weird. The boxes and other stuff on the turret looks off. The M19 cupola doesn’t have any glass viewports, etc., etc., etc…
The tank in the background to the right of the tank in the foreground has 2 sets of tracks split in the middle
Uh - sprockets front and rear? Nuff said.
Fake! 
Damn AI is ruining everything.
And if its not AI thats runining our research is either world of tanks or war thunder
Now this photo has me questioning all my references. Based on this photo attached, I was working on a diorama of some Russian Cavalry from the Crimean War in 1854 with a captured British Mark IV belonging to the famous Light Brigade of Charge of the Light Brigade fame. I have to assume now that this photo is AI or a fake.
It is AI. 100%. 
But you had us going!
Another day, Another reason to hate AI.
Hate the player, not the game. It’s the people producing that shyte who are to be blamed, not AI, which I might add, has been around for seventy years now. There are many resaons to embrace it as well. I attended a conference two weeks ago sponsored by one of my professors who actually encourages its use.
AI is a tool. Like many tools, in the right hands it can do great things. In the wrong hands, it can bloody knuckles, strip threads, produce weird paint jobs on models, you name it. But I have yet to see it go on a murderous rampage.
The fearsome thing is, we know it will be used to create a fake story that will go on to be considered real for the public that will create great problems. At that point the truth will not be trusted.
We don’t need AI for that. As I’ve shown on this very site, “experts” here perpetuate BS to the point where everyone not only believes it, but quotes it.
I got your point but the point of the AI story I am talking about is it will be of a high enough quality to pass for truth. I think of it like a nuke. Once out of the bag it can’t be put back in. Eventually someone is going to use nukes. Just a matter of time.
Defamation has already happened.
Dude in Australia worked in banking/finance.
He discovered shady business was going on.
He became a whistleblower, big scandal, eventually he was
forced/persuaded to resign (maybe he just got fired) and his
career in finance/banking was over, finished, gone for ever.
The shady dealers went to prison.
The whistleblower became mayor of some small town.
Along comes AI and finds an internet post which described the
summary above but with more words and names.
AI summed it up incorrectly, the dude got named as one of
the corrupt bankers and one of the prison sentences
was connected to him.
Imagine someone telling the law about sex offenders, getting
praised as a hero and then comes AI, turns the story inside out
(it is a language model that tries to piece together bits & pieces
to try and answer a question, it is NOT intelligence, at least not yet).
Someone could have asked some AI tool about sex offenders in
Nutbush City.
The inside out story hits the local news and suddenly a mob of
righteous rednecks tries to lynch the effing pedo living in their
neighbourhood.
Misinformation/Disinformation/Rumours have killed before and
it will happen again.
Again, history has shown we didn’t need AI for that, nor will we in the future.
To your point: I’m curious….if AI scans the net for answers, does it know to skip the AI fabricated BS that someone dumped on the net? Or does it consider all data equally? If the latter….
I, like many, have my concerns, but it can be helpful if used responsibly. But that’s the big IF isn’t it?
Very true,
we can do it more efficiently with AI though …
Guns, alcohol, automobiles, dynamite, chipping fluid…
