@appassionato @Gargron Why not look at it a bit more and reason it out with me as a second opinion, okay? How do you suppose a clover (a four leaf one no less) has had all the leaf tissue besides the veins within turn into clear ice? It's not a possibility in nature so we can conclude that it's either LLM generated (which I'm not immensely confident it is) or it's staged and the clover is a creation by a human rather than machine? I do prefer the last one vastly as long as we're approaching this as a piece of artistic expression, not a photo in the moment of an unbelievable phenomena.

@appassionato @Gargron
Just search for "clover leaf" image. Veins pattern is completely different.
Looks AI to me. No matter what detectors say.

@appassionato @Gargron Sightengine gives it a 99% possibility of being AI, and it's most probably the case here.

@Gargron I was thinking the same.

Four-leafed is rare. 3 lobes per leaf doesn't happen, because of the way the leaves grow. If it did, the veins would match the lobes, which they don't. Freezing doesn't magically make the flesh of the leaf disappear. If you take the flesh away, ice wouldn't naturally form in leaf shapes.

This is definitely artificial, though conceivably physically created then photographed.

@Gargron @appassionato AI generated imagery annoys me supremely. It undermines both nature and art. A plague.
