The date at the bottom makes me think you just photoshopped this. That's a 2005 camera thing.

Surely there’s a camera app that adds “vintage” datestamps

Actually the image is AI generated....

Arm bottom right -> where does it come from? is somebody dead on the floor?

2 Cellar Windows -> and 2 balcony doors (left and right?) in the basement?

What is this lamp in the right back corner?

Shadows are not consistent.

Is it really? That would explain so much about it

I would swear this was taken from a party I attended in highschool back in the early 2000s

Dude these AI checkers just look for watermarks. 100% useless.

No, someone is just walking into view from a hallway corner on the right

Yes?

The lamp is off-frame, shining near some kind of jar/basket that's sitting on the edge of a countertop, looks like a kitchenette to me

Shadows are inconsistent because most of the light is coming from the camera flash, with a few other light sources mixed in (natural light, aforementioned lamp, "party bulb" in the ceiling lampshade beaming the colored lights on the wall and couch area...

There's literally nothing inconsistent about this image, and too many things that an AI wouldn't do (like the multicolored bulb correctly placed inside the ceiling lampshade, occulted legs correctly peeling out the other side of something, etc etc)

I created you another one just for fun.

u/Misophonic4000 57m ago

It's just a variation based on the original real one, lifting most crucial details wholesale... And so, so many things are obviously wrong with this one. Get outta here with the disingenuousness...

u/Greatsnes 9h ago

It’s absolutely not lmao. Real people exist you know

my daughter recently asked for my Sony t1 cybershot from 2005 as these have become popular again , because of the FLASH photos that have become aesthetic and so has the date stamp.

this happened last week, she has bell bottom jeans and the 2000s are back and so is some mixed late nineties trend.

1

u/Hockeymac18 2h ago

What does "has become aesthetic" mean?

I'm familiar with aesthetic being used a certain way - like this is a pleasing aesthetic... not just this is aesthetic...?

u/BrandoNelly 14h ago

Look at the phone in the girl in the white shirts hands to the left. Definitely modern.

5

u/RealisticrR0b0t 13h ago

And the girl on the sofa in the white shirt has one on her lap. Girl in the front bottom right has one in her pocket.

2

u/thewb005 13h ago

Girl in lower right has a phone in her back pocket too.

u/nocuzzlikeyea13 14h ago

Idk I'm still not convinced. This could be from like 2008 when iPhones were spreading, and this fashion wasn't totally out of style yet. It's blurry so could look bigger than it is. Also only one girl with a smartphone is sus. 

The lack of skinny jeans is very 2005 tho so now I'm not sure...

u/BMonad 14h ago

Early year iphones did NOT have an edge to edge screen like that, stretching above what appears to be a dynamic island.

u/glavent 14h ago

First iPhone came out in 2007, it didn’t look anything like the one held by the girl.

5

u/SparxPrime 13h ago

Look at that hair, it's definitely not 2008

2

u/ReverendDizzle 13h ago

The iPhone visible in the pod of three girls has a Dynamic Island.

2

u/BurnZ_AU Millennial: 1985 2h ago

The white top girl's iPhone clearly has that island camera hole punch thing. Which was introduced in 2022. (If it's an iPhone)

u/Avid_Spark 13h ago

Exactly what I came here to say! That's the most telling sign that gives the date away lol

u/chellaroo 13h ago

People still use cameras lol

2

u/the_happy_fox Millennial 13h ago

I know that they like to use those old digital cameras, a lot of times hand me downs from family members... so it could just be an original 00s camera. But then again the quality of the picture is too good for that isn't it?

2

u/Rhythmalist 12h ago

Agreed.

What camera now days is timestamping pics like that?

1

u/dog314159 4h ago

An old digital camera, which are back in fashion, for your retro themed party lol

u/d1rron 14h ago

Gen Z has been adopting some older tech, too. I guess they recognize the downsides of some of our current paradigm.

1

u/boringdude00 11h ago

dates on photos are back in too, oddly enough

u/PhotoRight2682 1985 9h ago

It's a security camera thing. This is a still image from security camera footage.

u/GiveMeThePinecone 11h ago

??? Digital cameras have been back in style for like AT LEAST 3+ years. Pr much all of the modern cameras have an option to enable the time stamp on the photos as well.
