It’s post like these that really make me worry about the future. Visual proof will no longer be validation of anything. There will be a time when no one will care about photos anymore because people will automatically think it’s made by Ai.
Is this AI? I feel like its AI
Edit: I don’t actually know anymore and that’s more scary than it being AI.
Edit #2: I found the [original](https://x.com/pasthistoryx/status/1874758603707748712) twitter post but I don’t have a twitter account so I don’t know what the comments are saying.
Edit #3: stealing from u/LovelyMoFo18 comment
>In the greyscale, her fingers (left hand) look like they cut off at the handle of the bike, when they should peek out a little. Also (greyscale), the man’s right thumb seems oddly long for holding the handle.
>In the colored pictures, the lady’s jaw seems a little short… it seems like it should be longer/more sunken cheeks but I have no idea how bone structure changes when you get older.
Edit #4: I’m starting to lose my mind a bit here because I can’t let it go until I figure it out (autism kicking in). The bike “looks like” a Yamaha Rd350 which was first introduced in 1973.
Edit #5: upon further inspection it might be a XS650 (introduced Oct. 1969) but I’m fairly sure it’s a Yamaha. Any bike experts wanna help me out here please?
Nothing about that young woman says “1967”.
AI is a new form of brain rot
Doesn’t look like same place
This shit’s AI dude.
Not sure this was the hairstyle woman wore in 67’ lol
Stupid karma farming bot
I’m pretty sure it’s AI
Bike appears to be a Triumph Bonneville with a front disc brake. The Bonneville wouldn’t get a front disc until 1973.
1987 maybe?
A.I.
They absolutely didn’t have Vidal Sassoon curls back in the 60’s.
The more you look at the B&W picture, the more 90’s it looks, doesn’t look like a real B&W photo circa 1967. Which, somehow, that in turn makes both pictures look more like AI than real.
AI, his hair is combed the opposite direction.
AI garbage
It looks legitimate enough to me but one thing I am not sure about is the timeline , 1960s motor bikes rarely had turn signals and it looks like a motorcycle from early 1980s
Man’s arm positioning really similar. Legs on right appear longer than left.
Who has the same style of tire tread 51 years later?
That does not look like the 70s …
If real – they’re very cute and super good-looking, both yesterday and today.
If some AI crap – gtfo.
I can’t say for sure which it is.
It doesn’t say “same people”
I accept the challenge
That pic on the left could be from the early 90s. It ain’t from the late 60s.
Yeah no one had that hair in 67
My initial glance told me something is wrong with the left picture…it looks too modern to be that old. I ran it through a few ai detectors and got mixed results. One came back at about 34% ai to human, another at 46% ai to human and the last came back as “likely human”.
This doesn’t look 51 years back. This is 80s fashion.
Can you guys remove the B&W filter on the left picture? I assume you can since the resolution is impeccable for 1967.
Ai plus the image resolution on the left is too high to be film
AI ahh post

This is awesome.
Definitely AI
Damn. Can’t believe how many people on here thought this wasn’t AI.
Both bikes are identical down to the last detail, I’m not totally certain it’s AI.
Isn’t this the picture that Buddy the Elf shows to Walter Hobbs?
Not AI. Too many little differences, mirror vs no mirror. Coat difference plus the wheel is turned a little more in one than the other. Just a great photo and placement
This is sus, their hair is wrong for the sixties, and the jacket. I don’t buy it.
hasn’t gotten very far…
Time takes everything. Sad
I’m willing to hang my hat on this not being AI, but it is *profoundly* troubling that it has become so pervasive that people are starting to straight-up misidentify it.
