A viral photo of a guy smoking in McDonald’s is completely fake — and of course made by AI::Look at the fingers. You always have to look at the fingers
Lets see:
- Straw in the fries container
- Chest hair growing thru his shirt
- “Cocacola” text on the mug
- His hands and those hamburgers
- MODLIDANI sign on the wall
- The heck is that white hat on that dude on the background
That’s not hair growing through the shirt that’s simply a bare chest. AI can paint both shirt and chest just fine, but doesn’t understand garments, doesn’t understand that if you have t-shirt sleeves you don’t have a bare chest. Could happen with a dress shirt but then the collar is missing: It’s denim-on-skin in the chest and neck area which the AI can easily make consistent because it’s continuous, then shirt-and-denim on the shoulders, which also makes sense. It’s the combination that doesn’t.
You’ve never heard of the fishing hat that dreamed of being a baseball hat?
First thing to look for is the hands
- exposed chest hair with t-shirt
- straw in fries
- hat
- Smoking inside restaurant
You blame AI, but that’s just the 80s.
I mean it’s super obviously AI generated, what with the yellow fry box with white sides, and red coke cup with gibberish on it. He has a second white cup behind his hands seemingly floating in mid-air, and his hands are together holding… nothing. There’s a sign in the background that seems to say “Modlidawi” instead of “McDonald’s”
And he’s also wearing a t shirt which apparently doesn’t have a cheat since you can see this dudes naked chest.
Lots of inconsistencies in the photo. AI doesn’t do a very good job. If you look hard enough you’ll see shit that makes zero real world sense.
I like to imagine these AI image generators as a low-ranking alien intelligence officer charged with making dossiers on Earth and its lifeforms. It sees the photos and videos and writing and tries to summarize them into representative graphics, but doesn’t quite understand enough to get the details right.
Why is the white T-shirt split to show his entire front torso? The male specimens display chest hair to attract female partners, probably. Note the hair on face and head, styled not for functionality but for visual effect; these earth bipeds use very vision-based courtship rituals.

They got one part right
AI generated or not, I distinctly remember the brown glass ashtrays as McDonalds when I was growing up, so it definitely was allowed.
You had some fancy-ass McDonald’s in your area then. Ours has those flimsy tin/aluminum ashtrays.

mcdonalds? the sign clearly says “modlidani”
fingers? try the coca cola logo…
I like how the french fries got a drinking straw
Halloween outfit inspiration material.
That cigarette and McDonalds French fry smell is etched on my brain.
Or the sign at the top.
“MODLIDANI”
Or the fact that he’s apparently cut the chest out of his t-shirt, while his vest doesn’t wrap around his torso.

I think that’s pretty bad ass actually.
Nicely done, that’s hilarious. The current state of “AI” is deeply embarrassing and massively over-hyped. Maybe a few trillion more dollars of funding will do the trick…
As someone who grew up in a white trash landfill, that’s probably the least suspicious thing
I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn’t look closely and thought “yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I’d be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he’s probably one of my cousins”.
This is 100% accurate.
I only learned it was fake today, from this post. I mean, I see all the little details now, but before I just assumed someone found an old picture of their dad and wanted some internet points. There’s part of me that sees the humor in gettin got, but it’s a nervous laugh for how easily I got got. Near future’s gonna be wild
It was the fashion at the time /s
Right… at the time…
Puts down scissors and undershirt
Leg warmers are back.
At least that looks like letters. Check out the Coca-Cola cup.
That was the second thing I saw. The first was the weird fries box with a straw, heh
You don’t get the limited edition fry box and drink the salt out of the bottom?

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. I believe in you.
Born too late to smoke in McDonald’s 😔
But I can tell you in the 80s, I smoked in McDo, enjoying my Royale, with a beer :)
This is the most French comment of all time
And you know what they call a… a… a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Allez ouste, sacré français! Retourne sur jlai.lu! 😉
C’était tellement cool le trio big mac avec une bière pour même pas 30FF
This is technically another jean meme
Am I the only one that’s seeing this pic for the first time?
I saw it before the news…but not sure how much viral it went.
It didn’t go viral. The article said it went viral to make a viral.
MacD’s trying out stable diffusion for their new ad campaign
MacD’s
I think you mean ModL’s.
I hope so. My question is, why is this pic allegedly going viral?
It was posted in some community on Lemmy. I saw it in my feed but don’t remember where.
I spend an embarrassingly stupid amount of time on the internet.
Every time I see an article describing something as “viral”, it’s almost always the first time I’m hearing about it. (Also, coincidentally often the last time)
Same. Not sure why it would go viral.
Exactly my thought. Looks pretty boring and not something I would consider sharing even if it was a single button push.
Yeah, and 5 years ago, this would have at least been a somewhat interesting slice-of-life picture. Now it’s just bullshit. This could just as well be Mozart smoking a fat one at a McCleopatra’s in feudal China. It would be just as a meaningful.
“Viral” is completely meaningless now.
AI or not, this looks unnervingly accurate enough to be one of my uncles in the 80s, including the open chest denim vest sewn onto a tshirt. The 80s was wild, kids.

It’s interesting how it still looks kindof correct at a glance, until you look at it specifically.
