I'm pretty sure it's real. Enhanced? Yes. AI generated? Doubtful.

I put the photo through five different AI image detectors and only one of them flagged it...

For the record, here's the original post and photo:

But honestly, the fact we even have to worry about AI tornado photos now... what a wonderfully dystopian future we're headed towards.

AI can't make such tornadoes. It tends to make them very blocky fsr, and also it HEAVILY struggles with tornadoes at night. Got worried for a second haha

Oh, AI image detectors aren't actually that good to use. Something like SynthID would help from Gemini. A decent feature from Google where the watermark is hidden but the AI can use it and see if it's AI or real

[Kds86z]

15 tornadoes now confirmed from this time period. I predicted 15-20 for last Thur-Sat. 16 for the year, which means tied at moment with last years totally January amount of 16 tornadoes.

Has anyone else had issues with the RadarScope app with as soon as you open it, radar data is 14 or 15 minutes old?

I did notice this for my radar last weekend or so
