Reality Check #1 19/20

This thing messed me up:

They both looked like they could be AI - but to me it looks like that one has an AI artifact

Meh, the block just got pushed vertical, but it is weird, agreed. The one on the left doesn't strike me as natural. Ice neither forms nor breaks up like it's been put through a blender.

Here's the thing: you should expect some things that aren't average in reality. Sure, most ice won't do what you're looking at, but some will. The left image all looks the same across the image. There's nothing that is non-average looking.

That's one of the problems with AI images, anything that looks weird is now dismissed as AI even if the photos are century old. A colleague of mine said crabeater seal teeth are definitely AI, for instance.

crabeater seal skullpicture of a skull of crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophaga), its scientific name, translated as "lobe-toothed (lobodon) crab eater (carcinophaga)", refers specifically to the finely lobed teeth adapted to filtering, postcanine teeth are finely divided with multiple cusps and form a sieve.
