Number 2 is the Saab GlobalEye. Fun angle on it, but real plane.
My old instincts tripped me on that one, because I got suspicious if it was a photoshop rather than AI. It felt weird to me that the SAAB logo would be painted on a jet with flat grey military livery. But, that logo and the tail number on the nacelle are clearly legible, which AI still chokes on.
Yeah, I just thought it was funny how much the GlobalEye looks like a passable AI photo of a military surveillance airplane that clearly doesn’t exist.
I am not even bashing the GlobalEye… it just gives me strong “AI image slop” vibes.
My eyes see this and immediately tell my brain I am looking at an optical illusion or AI image.
Too many fins!
(Don’t be silly, Saab is Swedish!)
The tactical I-beam is definitely a choice.
This is peak performance in a modern threat environment
High aspect ratio for loitering.
