Is this real or AI?

Man from the woods.

It’s not AI. I’ve found this image online since 2012, long before AI was a thing. That said, it could still be photomanipulated.

That’s simply Treebeard.

The strange rainbow-like pixelation that appears when you zoom in gives it a Photoshop or AI vibe. I can’t find any obvious details that seem off, so I’d lean more towards Photoshop.

It’s just someone tracing a face in the snow with their finger. Clearly not high-quality enough to be AI, lol.
