from someone who has eaten many ducks all sorts of ways, this is ai:
1) there’s way too much duck here
2) cut is not right for peking duck, though garnishing fits peking
But more damming:
3) skin and meat blurry compared to other objects
4) convenient blemishes where the nipples would be
The problem isnt that you couldnt do it, but that it doesnt look right even if you did do it. This is not what peking duck really looks like when you look closely. If you've only seen pictures of peking duck then you might not know, as is the case for AI.
The photo is AI slop but I guarantee some sort of meat artist (lol) could make something similar in real life if they wanted to. It would probably take a lot of time and take 3+ ducks to do it and wouldn't be economical but it definitely isn't impossible. Far too stupid to be practical though.
So yeah, again, the problem isnt that you couldnt do it - but that you wouldn't prepare it this way even if you did want to make a duck man. Peking Duck does not look that meaty nor the skin that goopy/saucy. But yeah you could force it...like throw random duck meat under and then put the skin on top and then start glazing it to make it look goopy and not crispy.
The point is that AI doesnt understand the context of how to properly slice peking duck skin, which is to say you dont lop off a big chunk of meat with it. All it's seen is pictures of meat and roast duck and when you ask it to do something it doesnt have a pic of...it doesn't get the nuances correct and it becomes obvious that it isn't real to anyone who knows what it SHOULD look like.
The shape around the neck is suspect for me. You could make any kind of shape with cutting and rearranging the meat but the shoulder muscle doesn't seem to be cut, it's just bizarrely perfectly shaped to look like big neck/shoulder muscle
The shadows are often a good giveaway, look at how the strangely placed parallel line shadows above the head stop abruptly and do not continue down onto the cutting board
It might just be photoshop. It could also be some kind of sculpture. However, it's definitely not 100% a photograph - the vein/nipples/flower look digitally edited.
The real tragedy of AI is that when something like this actually happens nobody believes it. The age of “pics or it didn’t happen” has been replaced with “nothing ever happens”.
We've entered the age of pre ai and post ai, now the only way to tell if something is real, is if you've seen it before and you know its from before ai was good
Yeah I've seen people calling AI slop on literally every single post lately, even on stuff that is for sure real. Annoying, but this is either AI or someone just photoshopping at least. Too many random blurs and shadows that don't make sense.
I hate “AI slop” posts. Nobody ever uses arguments why they think it’s AI. Just saying slop makes people think it’s witty and insightful enough for upvotes
if you have never had pekin duck, I will tell you duck skin does not come in perfectly little rounded pieces that just happen to make out human looking muscles with nipples and veins.
Is it though? I'm zooming and tryna spot the usual indicators, lol. We've seen some Japanese chef's put out some crazy stuff made out of food. (At least the presentation looks Japanese to me)
It's a weird thing on the internet. The cool thing to say used to be that it was fake and you could tell because of the pixels, and probably a few Malaysia-firin' shoop da voops or so on. Now, it's as easy as "AI slop" and about 1/3rd as funny.
You always should have been doing that, even before AI. I don't know when people stopped learning "Don't trust anything you see on the internet", but it was the norm when I first was getting online.
But the whole "It looks like AI" is just a kneejerk reaction to look smart, and is basically becoming the modern "You can tell it's photoshopped because of the pixels" like they said. It means nothing and is a worthless addition.
The flower petals curve in weird ways, the cucumber pieces seem to kind of blend together, and the meat has a weird unnatural shine to it. The head is not a duck head, ducks have flat bills. Also, the nipples, like u/Oradi said.
That is a good point about the bill. Looking at some pics of roasted duck heads some of them lack the dip between the eyes and the beginning of the bill like this one, but none of them have a hook at the end of the bill.
For me the biggest tell is the light on the counter behind the duck. It looks like sunlight coming through a window but the shadows it’s creating weirdly end and nothing else looks lit by sunlight. If there was staging lights to crate the soft lighting of the rest of the image, I doubt you see the sunlight/its shadows still.
When you do a reverse image search for this image you find a lot of similar images, they're all taken from the same angle with no human inside, no preparation or how it was made, all very sterile, very similar, and screaming AI.
The skin of the duck is too shiny. The neck part is wrong. The meat around the left side hip is swirling. The cucumber and spring onion pieces are far too large for this dish. The color and consistency of the sauce is off too.
I think it’s when you zoom in on the duck the texture looks wrong. There’s not the detail you would expect from real duck skin. It almost looks like a painting of Peking duck rather than a photo.
Looks like it was glazed over to give it that shiny look, make it more photogenic. Which we all know is absolutely a thing that's done in food photography.
Well, "food photography" usually involves next to no "food." It's usually a bunch of crap made to look like food; really it's more "art project" than "culinary art." This "man-duck" could likely be a photograph of a tangible object, but it is certainly an inedible object.
I’m a chef and this is my reasoning behind thinking it’s AI. If someone were to go through the amount of detail to create what we see on the left, they would never allow the ingredients on the right to be presented in such a fashion. The ramekin of sauce is also ridiculously full and just too perfect.
Left arm (ducks right arm) you can see a line that that starts underneath the meat on the top and works it way on top of the meat at the bottom. This makes no sense as it doesn't appear to be a physical piece of meat that would be capable of doing that. It appears to be a detail blended incorrectly.
The texture on the duck is very weird. The meat has creases to make the musculature more perfect than would be possible in real life. If you zoom in on the skin it's too blendy and nondescript. Even the texture on the cucumber looks fake.
The side dishes look weird and the orchid and green "vegetable" look like they're floating a little bit. Also look at the head of the duck relative to the plate.
Its a good image but once you spot it it becomes obvious.
The shadows from the “duck” seal that for me. Especially around the beak. Then around the legs just look like a very lazy drop shadow. So possibly an actual image with the AI overlayed on top. Just my opinion though. 🤷
I dunno, man. If the Idea of eatng meat didn't disturb me, and I wanted to eat a hitherto unreleased transformed hero from the '80s classic, Altered Beast, I might try it.
FYI in Chinese duck also means gigolo. (As chicken share similar pronunciation as prostitute in chinese and has been used as its replacement word) so this kinda have a meaning behind...

u/Majonko, your post does NOT fit our subreddit! Please read our rules again and post again in the near future!
I can no longer tell what's real or ai

I agree with you, but now I just imagine some silly restaurant replicating it just using 2-3 ducks.

hhaha i ll said the same
I feel like around the duck and around the flower there is almost a black line that makes it look placed into the photo lol
Also one of the orchid flower petals has a frilly purple edge that looks just like the nearby parsley.
[deleted]
Yeah and why tf does it have a belly button and arm veins?
The shape around the neck is suspect for me. You could make any kind of shape with cutting and rearranging the meat but the shoulder muscle doesn't seem to be cut, it's just bizarrely perfectly shaped to look like big neck/shoulder muscle
Two ducks = two duck buttholes = two nipples. Blurriness could just be the picture, but possibly ai
An actual duck head would be bigger too.
Looks like ai to me tbh
The shadows are often a good giveaway, look at how the strangely placed parallel line shadows above the head stop abruptly and do not continue down onto the cutting board
And it’s only been 3 years
Flower is a giveaway too
It might just be photoshop. It could also be some kind of sculpture. However, it's definitely not 100% a photograph - the vein/nipples/flower look digitally edited.
Stupid food? Is it illegal to enjoy a succulent chinese meal?
GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS!

When you take into account his entire speech, it would make complete sense if this is what he was eating.
I CANT BREATHE!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG!!!!!!!! ☠️☠️ that video had me in tears!
That’s because Jack Karlson is a LEGEND
RIP King 👑
I assume this is Peking duck?
If that’s AI, I’m going to have to request my next Peking duck looking like that. Looks like it’s about 2 ducks worth of meat.
It's got nipples of course it is AI
I have nipples,Greg.
Am I AI?
That’s not something I normally look for, duck nipples.
Man it’s too early for this
it is AI slop.
It’s AI
At least actually stupid food finally showed in my feed (but I agree). 😆
I mean it didn't, since it's slop trying its hardest to look like food.
Which is kind of the opposite of posts here
Abdomination.
More like Adonis. No wonder Howard the Duck did so well.
Howard the Duck becomes a much more upsetting movie when you learn about duck anatomy.
Corkscrew.
You mean abdomination :p
AI slop
The real tragedy of AI is that when something like this actually happens nobody believes it. The age of “pics or it didn’t happen” has been replaced with “nothing ever happens”.

I hate “AI slop” posts. Nobody ever uses arguments why they think it’s AI. Just saying slop makes people think it’s witty and insightful enough for upvotes
It is AI slop because: it has (human) nippels, a duck does not have those kind of meat pieces and a real duck has a much longer neck.
fucking look at it, you think this is real?
if you have never had pekin duck, I will tell you duck skin does not come in perfectly little rounded pieces that just happen to make out human looking muscles with nipples and veins.
I hate people defending AI because they fell for it.
Is it though? I'm zooming and tryna spot the usual indicators, lol. We've seen some Japanese chef's put out some crazy stuff made out of food. (At least the presentation looks Japanese to me)
I'm also not seeing any signs, I'd be curious what these guys are seeing that we're not
It's the nipples that make me question it.
What a weird sentence to write
That’s your new flair for this subreddit.
Might not be AI, but there might be some light photoshopping being done on this photo.
The nipples and the veins in the biceps
It's a weird thing on the internet. The cool thing to say used to be that it was fake and you could tell because of the pixels, and probably a few Malaysia-firin' shoop da voops or so on. Now, it's as easy as "AI slop" and about 1/3rd as funny.
I don’t think anyone is trying to be funny when they point out AI
Except that the people who can "always tell" what is AI are wrong half the time
At this point in time, it’s probably smart to question every image you see.
You always should have been doing that, even before AI. I don't know when people stopped learning "Don't trust anything you see on the internet", but it was the norm when I first was getting online.
But the whole "It looks like AI" is just a kneejerk reaction to look smart, and is basically becoming the modern "You can tell it's photoshopped because of the pixels" like they said. It means nothing and is a worthless addition.
Do you think the OP picture is real?

If there was staging lights to crate the soft lighting of the rest of the image, I doubt you see the sunlight/its shadows still.
Just noticed the counter has a bunch of double dot patterns too
When you do a reverse image search for this image you find a lot of similar images, they're all taken from the same angle with no human inside, no preparation or how it was made, all very sterile, very similar, and screaming AI.
Look at the duck skin
Beak has incorrect shadow
Flower fuses with salad
If it isn't real there is probably a chef out there who can make something like this. People need to go outside.
The skin of the duck is too shiny. The neck part is wrong. The meat around the left side hip is swirling. The cucumber and spring onion pieces are far too large for this dish. The color and consistency of the sauce is off too.

I dunno, the only suspicious sign might be the flower to me, bcz I have never in my life seen such a structure
Look at the texture of the duck skin and meat. It's blurry compared to the rest of the photo and the insides doesn't match the outside cuts.
Additionally the cuts are asymmetrical in a nonsensical way, which contradicts the idea if this is an artistic presentation.
I’m a chef and this is my reasoning behind thinking it’s AI. If someone were to go through the amount of detail to create what we see on the left, they would never allow the ingredients on the right to be presented in such a fashion.

Cactus cucumber, yum.
Cucumbers do have spines actually, but not normally the ones you'd get at a fancy restaurant. Only if you grew them in your back garden or something.
AI for sure. Zoom into the duck skin and tell me that looks natural. Use a photo of actual Peking duck skin for reference if needed
The side dishes look weird and the orchid and green "vegetable" look like they're floating a little bit. Also look at the head of the duck relative to the plate.
Its a good image but once you spot it it becomes obvious.
Zoom in a you can see some strange artifacting by the left bicep connecting to the right shoulder.
I'm 95% this is AI.
Look at any detail for longer than half a second. Of course it’s AI slop.
Most definitely
How
You may not like it but this is was peaking duck looks like
The shadows from the “duck” seal that for me. Especially around the beak. Then around the legs just look like a very lazy drop shadow. So possibly an actual image with the AI overlayed on top. Just my opinion though. 🤷
They killed and prepared August
That duck fucks
AI
Ai slop
Now that’s what I call a shredded duck
Im not going to eat that
I am sure my wife would
yeah, just lick its abs and pour some of that shimmering oil over the top, mmm
What a moment to be literate
Stupid, sexy, AI Duck

I think you mean "Abdomination"
This ain't stupid. This is ART 💖
Looks like something Gil Chesterton would enjoy
Gil from Frasier would LOVE this.

Does r/ATBGE allow food post? And could one technically make a case of this being Great Taste, on a flavor basis? r/ATBGTAGE -- wanna chime in?
This belongs in r/ATBGE
You may not like it, but this is what peking performance looks like.
I love this for that duck
Average Tool fan’s breakfast. Spiral out. 🌀

this is peak r/ATBGE
bleh, it's a pet peeve of mine when people make fun of the dead animal they're consuming, have a tiny bit of respect
Yeah, its pretty ducked up if you ask me.
That is AI
A beginners cannibal dinner
I am so hungry
You wouldn't say that to the duck's face tho
Do you even Peking bro?
I dunno, man. If the Idea of eatng meat didn't disturb me, and I wanted to eat a hitherto unreleased transformed hero from the '80s classic, Altered Beast, I might try it.
That duck could be a model for big brands. Not sure if this is stupid though
It's as if they roasted an Egyptian god.
WHATS THE CHARGE OP? EATING A MEAL?! A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL?!
Dumb AF but it rules, would smash this succulent Chinese meal
I hate that I don't have any friends who would appreciate me sending this to them. It's both excellent and terrible.
What the duck
He almost looks...shredded.
That is evil
OK, this is actually cool

This is a sadistic yet impressive form of culinary art actually
FYI in Chinese duck also means gigolo. (As chicken share similar pronunciation as prostitute in chinese and has been used as its replacement word) so this kinda have a meaning behind...
Vile abomination
Actually it's kinda cool.
Art + decent amount of meat.
If he takes the trash out I'm marrying him.
Not fit for the sub, this is fucking cool not stupid
Abomination? You mean perfection!

I mean, does it taste good?
Since it has nipples can you milk it?
I kind of love it.
More like masterpiece
I want to call AI but this looks too perfectly stupid. Good job OP.
Nah this is awesome

The kind of skill that goes into making this is to be applauded... and feared.
Anybody else experiencing something....new here?
This feels like duck humiliation death ritual

Stupid food? This is art!
HOW THE FUCK...holy shit i cant tell between ai or not
This one is not stupid. This is just awesome
Honestly, I am impressed.

I’m convinced you people just hate fun
it looks delicious
