    Not to take away from my neighbor Canadia or anything but in fact in every country except the U.S. and El Salvador you can enjoy the benefit of not being thrown in a Salvadoran gulag, try harder Canadia

    Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.

      pay attention to how intentional things are. nothing in this picture is motivated. the man has his arm raised, but not in a welcoming manner, more like he's saying hi. he also isnt looking at the viewer. there is also no discernable landmark or important features. the only other thing is a bus, which doesnt have a door on the right, which i dont know about you, but every bus ive seen in north America has the door on the right.

      a real advertisement for Canada would likely ask you to visit or experience something about Canada, like a national park or iconic building in a city, or have a recognizable public figure. it absolutely would not bring up something objectively negative like being deported in the same space as an invitation to visit.

      all im saying is that, there is a basic language to art and this reads like an alien that is aware that there are rules but does not understand why there are rules nor how they operate

      While I know this is slop and think your explanations for why you can tell are sound. You're mixing in arguments for why this couldn't be a real ad, and that's a separate argument. I think the assumption is much more likely to be that it's a human made meme and not a real ad.

        Who has ever seen a yellow Canada tour bus? Pretty much the only yellow busses in US and Canada are for school.

        I've never seen Canadian buses, I thought it was another thing they copied from the US, they are influenced by them a lot and I've never been to Canada myself so I couldn't know, but it makes sense

          uniform line weight, creamy yellow ground, font and text placement.

          The font and text placement are indeed really big giveaways, I thought it was weird that the text didn't follow the angle of the drawing, and the font is so uninspiring and meh, also the line thickness, that's so true too!! Thank you!!!!

            The trees on the left are strangely offset upwards, there is a line down the windshield which I have never seen on a bus like that, the bus also does not have a door at the front, which they typically do, and to a lesser degree that yellow looks like it belongs to a school bus, while this clearly isn't one

            True!! The trees don't make sense going up there, it looks a bit like an attempt to scale them, but it doesn't work at all, also the bus door being missing only works because the glass bends down as if there was a lower section there, but without a door it makes no sense (altho a bus not having a door there is possible, just came back from Chile and the tourism buses had the door in the middle, not on the front) and you're the second person I read mentioning the yellow bus, that is def something I would never pick up, here in Brazil we don't have those yellow school buses, so it never became that hard association for me

              I've luckily not seen it before, I guess my little bubble has very little AI content? Most of the memes I see are the typical old web nonsense so maybe it is indeed luck

                All the AI drawings have a grainy piss-yellow tone, idk why but it makes the identification easier

                  I did not think about the landmark thing!!! That's such a good point!!! I honestly read the hand position as a polite "hey there" but that might be my autism, but it does make sense what you said!! Thank you I'll try to see the bigger "picture" of what the intent of a piece would be and if the drawing is actually attempting to do it, that's a really good point and something AI will not be able to fulfill any time soon!

                    I had my suspicions, but I also thought "is this really AI or someone who isn't good at drawing?" I'm a furry so I see a lot of people who draw, but don't do it that well and sometimes the drawings look clean, but clearly fucked up because the artist doesn't know what they're doing, and with digital media you can use tools to draw perfect circles and smooth lines to hide the lack of experience and knowledge super easily

                        What’s crazy is I instantly clocked it as AI slop just from the thumbnail, and I’m not even wearing my glasses.

                        My conspiracy theory is that OpenAI makes their generated images easy to recognize so that they can filter them out for learning when scraping pages.

                              Is visiting the same as illegally comming to a place without authorisation ? B

                              The way of establishing which is which is the due process.

                                What does that mean? I'm unfamiliar with AI. Does that mean a human instructed an AI to make that pic or was it cranked out by the AI itself, programmed to scour and use news items from the digital world?

                                      The style used did it for me. It seems distinct for at least one popular engine (chatgpt?) as it pops up everywhere. Especially the face and hands.

                                        (apparently my brain forgot the "visit" part of the meme and I typed this up thinking that it was about moving here)

                                        It was difficult to get into Canada when I immigrated ten years ago (it was deeply complicated even as a sponsored individual), and I hear it's even more difficult now. It's a shame, because I know that the idea of escaping to Canada is a hopeful thing for many Americans. I was extremely fortunate. However, the housing shortage alone and a general anti-American sentiment has cast a huge shadow on new entries. Canadians remain as friendly as ever, but trust between them and Americans is also at an all-time low. People at work know I'm American and they love hearing my take on everything, but I don't spread that information to new ears anymore.

                                        I suppose it might be cool for Canada to do a 2-for-1 swap, where they send Texas pairs of whiny, privileged conservatives in exchange for good, left-leaning Americans who actually want to be here.
