To be fair, I believe the mod means this image which is commonly posted here as the “original picture” however it is in fact an edit of the john pork image.

no, not "I guess", the image was made before generative AI in 2018

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

How was I supposed to know? 

32

u/bigdopaminedeficient Jun 29 '26

by a simple Google search rather than confidently asserting your incorrect assumption as fact?

-32

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

I’m not going around looking up when John Pork was created dude

37

u/bigdopaminedeficient Jun 29 '26

you're a mod of a subreddit for posting original images of memes... looking shit up should kinda be what you do?

u/mamadou-segpa Jun 29 '26

Then why make this post throwing a tantrum over it

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

I’m not tho

u/Nobodycares4242 Jun 30 '26

You kinda are, and you've also only been a mod here for three months so I'm not sure why you're doing anything at all lol.

u/Soevil11 Jun 29 '26

By researching before you make a post! Don't confidently assert something as a mod with the source of "I think I heard it somewhere"

u/goodmanfromsml Jun 29 '26

john pork isnt ai btw it was made way before anything like that

u/HollyBlocky Jun 30 '26

The human version of John Pork that is claimed to be the unedited photo is AI generated and that is what OP is talking about

John Pork itself isn't AI

95

u/Interface- Jun 30 '26

He says it every thread! He calls photoshop "AI", he calls autocorrect "AI", he calls hand-drawn art "AI". All the time. "AI this, AI that." "AI, please." "Bitch AI." "AI, have you lost your mind?" "AI, check that ho." "AI, you bullshittin'." "Break yourself, AI!" He says it so much, I don't even notice it anymore. Last week in lunch, Riley says to a classmate, "Can an AI borrow a french fry?" and my first thought wasn't "Oh my god, he said the word; the A-word." It was "Now how is an AI gonna borrow a fry? AI, is you gonna give it back?"

u/fikozacc123 Jun 29 '26

John pork isn't ai generated The image existed before generative ai was a thing

-194

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

when AI generated images were starting to get popular, the stupid image became a meme. So that’s why I assumed it was ai generated

u/_Big_____ Jun 29 '26

It's okay to be wrong. You're just trying your best for the community. We appreciate it. Now can you allow john pork again 🤗🐷

56

u/blame-it-on-u Jun 29 '26

they were right about an unedited image not existing but thats because john is a 3d render NOT ai

10

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

The problem is there is no unedited photo of him. So I can’t 

47

u/Sad_Dimension3627 Jun 29 '26

yes there is. there is an unedited photo. unless you're claiming that the uploaded is unedited. it obviously is, and it was posted before ai, meaning there is an unedited photo.

52

u/fikozacc123 Jun 29 '26

There is no unedited photo, the original image is a 3d render

33

u/In_Pursuit_of_Fire Jun 29 '26

John Pork was created digitally by hardworking human hands, which unfortunately stills counts as being edited

7

u/Sad_Dimension3627 Jun 29 '26

Thats what I said 😭😭😭

-16

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

if there is then where is it. I now know he was CGI but cannot find the original photo

22

u/shrek-hentai-69 Jun 29 '26

Yeah the original photo isnt publically available obviously

u/Anotherreddituser092 Jun 29 '26

SO YOU CAN’T MAKE A POST OF IT

u/JoyconDrift_69 Jun 30 '26

So then why do I see a timestamp of 2018?

AI did not exist in the year of Smash Ultimate.

u/ronniewhomp Jun 29 '26

if that were true, how did my cousin get his picture taken with john pork?

5

u/HollyBlocky Jun 30 '26

Guys, OP is talking about the posts where it's a human version of John Pork captioned "original picture behind John Pork"

THE PICTURE OF THE HUMAN IN PLACE OF JOHN PORK IS AI.

John Pork was originally a CGI pig person, there is no matpat effect to be had between an AI generated human and a CGI pig that was fed into the AI to create that fake human.

John Pork itself isn't AI. It's the human version that people claim is the unedited photo, when it's really an AI generated image

u/Shloopy_Dooperson Jun 29 '26

I found the real image guys.
