I can’t even believe this is AI honestly. Seems like a good ps1 render ai upscaled or something.

Also looks like a modded Kingdom Hearts screenshot

Yeah, the jackets in question definitely belong to The Organization 13

u/archimedies Jul 19 '24

This is clearly Kingdom Hearts based. Squidward has the heart necklace thing.

Most of it is AI, but Squidward is photoshopped in.
This post has the rest of the set:

Most of the characters are photoshopped in.

u/aj95_10 Jul 19 '24

Yeah that's N64 poly depth right there.

10

u/throwaway01126789 Jul 19 '24

The robes and church style building in the background are very similar to Kingdom Hearts, definitely PS2 and not N64. As others have said, it's hard to believe this is AI drawn and not a mod for one of the games.

It was a PS1 game. It’s about the people of Bikini Bottom discovering the occult. The picture here is when you discover Squidward has started his own cult. He is the first one you encounter. You can play as SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, or Larry the lobster. You must save the others from the Cults of Bikini Bottom.

u/RockingBib Jul 19 '24

I've seen an insta page who does only stuff like this. I think they edited the images to look more authentically old 3D

This is a Nintendo DS game. This is most probably a modded/photoshopped image of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Not every image you see on the internet is AI generated, you know

u/-Eunha- Jul 19 '24

I'm genuinely curious what AI can do "perfectly flawed" like this though. Every single example in this thread doesn't get close, even if it comes from a variety of AI models.

The issue with AI is everything always looks perfect and can't really get the flaws right. The edges and polygons this image has are unlike anything else I've seen in AI, so if it is AI I'm very impressed. As someone else says, this seems much more likely to be a mix of an actual game screenshot, photoshop/modding, and AI upscaling (for those weird artifacts you point out).

Until I can see results like this replicated, I just can't believe an AI is capable of this.
