Obviously fake. Still funny though.

It's like the nerd version of Synthol body 'builders'.

Why does this image look like an AI-generated screenshot? The letter spacing and weights are all wrong.

Is that what the weird extra width on some letters is, artifacts from some AI generating the post?

No, the phrasing makes it clear someone wrote a fictional account of becoming self aware that the output of vibe coding isn't maintainable as it scales.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm entirely too trusting and would like to know what about the phrasing tips you off that it's fictional. Back on Reddit I remember so many claims about posts being fake and I was never able to tease out what distinguished the "omg fake! r/thathappened" posts from the ones that weren't accused of that, and I feel this is a skill I should be able to have on some level. Although taking an amusing post that wasn't real as real doesn't always have bad consequences.
But I mostly asked because I'm curious about the weird extra width on letters.

r/thatHappened was the worst thing to happen to Reddit and I sincerely hate whoever created that sub

No, the text itself. No vibe coder would write something like that. The artifacts you mentioned are the result of simple horizontal and vertical upscaling. If you zoom in you can see it better.

When something is too "on the nose," for example, it's written in exactly the way that would induce the most cheering and virality because it appeals so much to one group of people, it's worth considering it may have been written to provoke exactly that reaction.

Its just funny that it ends up costing more time

It's strange, but I've seen lots of comments that are not aware this is fake. The ai hater crowd is using it as their proof, the other side saying he is using it wrong.

I really wish people did not do this. This isn't something I was ever taught to look for, and I like to think I got a good education. I was taught to make sure my source is credible, to consider biases and spin and what things are facts and what is just opinion, but I wasn't taught to look for a lot of deception people call out online. But I guess I have to live with this and gain the skill to look for deception. Genuinely, thanks for helping me, since I don't think I ever would have figured out what raises "fake" flags in most peoples' heads on my own.

Bruh yer not doing it right. Are you stupid, bruh? You gotta work on yer promps, bruh. You gotta watch some tiktoks on it, bruh. Bruh, go watch @demisets4, bruh. Learn to prompt, bruh. Your not good at it, bruh. Bruh, you should try something else if you can't figure it out that's a you problem, bruh.

It's a real post on Reddit. I don't know what combination of screenshotting/uploading tools leads to this kind of mangling, but I've seen it in screenshots from Android, too. The artifacts seem to run down in straight vertical lines, so maybe slight scaling with a nearest-neighbor algorithm (in 2025?!?) plus a couple levels of JPEG compression? It looks really weird.
I'm curious. If anyone knows, please enlighten me!

AmidFuror's description is on point and I see it as a variant of Poe's Law. Instead of sarcasm being mistaken for a real belief, it is presenting a fictional account of someone being self aware that is mistaken for someone actually becoming self aware.
There are two lines that make me absolutely certain it is written by someone who it not a vibe coder and is leaning into the sarcasm.
- 'pulling out my wallet for someone that knows what they are doing' implies the poster knows they don't know what they are doing
- 'vibe coding is just roleplaying for guys who want to feel like hackers' is a joke I've seen directed at vibe coders more than once
Keep in mind that not all deception is malicious, but most people see the word deception as having a negative implication. An actor/actress pretending to be someone else is technically deceptive the same way as whoever wrote this hilarious post. They are presenting a fictional account for an audience.

Fake in that it's almost assuredly written and posted by someone who is actively anti-vibe coding and this is a troll on the true believers.
