AI generated. AI voiceover too.
All sorts of little giveaways - details don't match shot to shot, wavy or distorted lines where there should be straight edges, messed-up text, bodylines and shut lines that don't make any sense. The devil's in the details.
The Chevy 2025 models have been out for nearly 6 months already...and there is no coupe. The only vehicle not a SUV/Truck is the Malibu (final year and likely just straight to fleet/rental) and the C8.
Its a pipe dream.
I think virtually all stories that pop up online about new cars with vintage names is a computer rendering of some person's fever dream, and has no affiliation with an actual car company. I see it all the time.
More AI slop...yawn
Lots of giveaways as previously noted, fundamental stuff changes in every picture, misspellings, squiggles when it doesn't know what it's trying to generate
I think the biggest giveaway is that there is no 2025 Camero to base it on. They haven't actually built a Camaro since 2023. But hey, clicks!
The "next generation Miata!!!1!" posts/claims/etc are already out there. Ignore every single one you see unless it's a press release on Mazdausa.com.
The "2025 Chevelle SS" is even funnier.

And it's just getting started.

People have been making janky "muscle car revival" garbage for years, but AI has really stepped up the nonsense. There are a number of social media pages/accounts out there that are just conduits for AI-generated trash. Outside of scamming the less knowledgeable out of... something... I have no idea why they exist (monetization for followers, maybe). I've been "collecting" screenshots of them for over a year now.
The funny thing is a lot of them are sharing pictures of what are real-world cars, but through the lens of AI. The results are extremely wonky and sometimes comical:
Nope.
WTF is going on with that front end?
Uhh...
Not only did a Toronado never look remotely like this, but I've never seen one with the rare 5th headlight option.
IThis one got injected with too much Botox.
This one isn't remotely similar to a Torino, but WAIT A MINUTE TORINO HATCHBACK????
WHAT
Yeah.

There have been a few exposes about it that dig into how it works since this stuff first started popping up. Here's a good primer: Facebook’s Twisted Incentives Created Its AI Slop Era
People in places like Pakistan, India, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia use tools like Microsoft’s AI Image Creator to churn out content. They post dozens of images every day, sometimes every hour, and make a living from the engagement.
The goal is to get up as many posts in a day across as many accounts as possible. An account that’s consistently posting can get invited into Facebook’s Creator Bonus Program and start making money from viral content. Some posts will only generate a few cents while others may pull in hundreds of dollars. The more posts, the greater the returns. The goal is to use automation to post as much as possible, sometimes hundreds of times a day.
...
According to the people making the slop, the money is life-changing. Buried in the middle of the 404 Media story is a telling exchange. In one podcast, a spammer showed off his earnings tab. On the list was a picture of a train made of leaves. The spammer had earned $431 from the image’s engagement. “People don’t even make this much money in a month,” the interview said.
So, yeah. People in developing regions make money off of this AI slop crap, and Facebook just sees increased "daily active users" from it all which is a core driver of their stock price, so they have no incentive to shut it down.

FB has no interest in being accurate or correct, they just want to sell ads and will do whatever it takes to get you to keep scrolling.
I just assume everything is fake AI garbage now. Articles, pictures, news....hell my brother has seen a big spike in fake movie trailers.
The worst part is it keeps spreading because a large portion of people keep sharing it
It'd make too much sense to take the CT5V Blackwing, install a LT1 instead of LT4, and put more angular sheet metal on it with a Chevy badge.

Yup. For as much as I've been against the AI stuff because of the crazy amounts of electricity/water it consumes and the number of humans it will put out of work, I have a deeper fear that this is all leading towards some kind of large-scale information collapse and the whole idea of consensus reality is deteriorating, finishing what the social networks set in motion a while ago. The old sci-fi authors are probably spinning into tornadoes in their graves, ha.
It's the grey goo situation, but informationally. A coworker loves using it for summations and as a search engine, and the rest of us go ahead and find real information instead. Guess which one is mostly a manager?
I once had someone why we don’t use AI to create our content.
Because we don’t write for robots, I replied.
But, yes, if something seems too good to be true....
