      There’s some wonkyness here, that’s for sure. The major thing that makes this look legit is that the mirror is dirty and it has a correct reflection for the person’s arm and the trashcan.

          Higher res shows he has a plaster and the shelf is balancing on another shelf

            The more I look into the high-res picture, the more mildly bleak details I notice.

            • Torn plastic wrapping of tiny plastic bottles on the chipboard counter.
            • His sleeve is mildly dirty.
            • The shoes on the shelf seem awkward to access over the chair.
            • The whiteboard has permanently marked spots “use me to write” and “use me to clean”, both empty.
            • That “pizza” is barely an oversized muffin.
            • Fire prohibited.
            • The mirror is pretty dirty.
            • Corner of the steel cabinet is a bit bent.
            • The badly attached sheet of paper hanging from the whiteboard; you can’t read anything.
            • On the top shelf of the cupboard, something is kinda balancing there.
            • Cheap plates not perfectly aligned.
            • ROTATE:
              • ROTATE
              • ROTATE
              • ROTATE
            • The pedal on the trash bin is weirdly bent.

            Not that any of this really matters, though.

              I mean, I wouldn’t expect a supermarket break room to be immaculately kept. It actually looks alright. Depends on how good of a place it is to work, etc. My guess is that most employees usually book their birthday off, this guy didn’t (some people just don’t bother, which is understandable) and some colleague was like “we had to do something”, so got a pizza from what they were allowed. I think there are pictures far more depressing than this (like Amazon’s Christmas dinner which was probably an actual big organised thing for a mass amount of people).

              I know someone who works in a supermarket and colleagues usually give them a nice cake, but it’s passed its sell-by by a few days. It sounds depressing, but the cake is perfectly fine and would just be thrown out due to policy.

        And the shoes (which are abnormally large) don’t look like any work boots I’ve ever seen, resembling trail running shoes but bigger. The laces seem to be oddly non-existent and instead the straps for lacing them appear to connect with each other.

        AI can get reflections right, just when it doesn’t it can be very creepy.

        Left hand has a pinky/ring finger thing, the garbage can angle looks off because it comes towards you but the angle of the wall is going the other direction and if it’s against the wall, it would follow the angle of the wall

        Edit to add more since I’m on mobile swapping between the two (inefficiently): the weird blue coat thing going down the back of the chair, seemingly no back legs to the chairs

        Foot pedal of the garbage can is misaligned

        Garbage can lid isn’t symmetrical

        no buttons on his button-down shirt

        The big cabinet casting a shadow the width of a chair leg on the left side (ironically right next to the chair on the left)

        Shelving next to the chair’s shadow is misaligned at the bottom when it transitions from under the chair to above it

          I’m on mobile, so maybe the photo isn’t loading at high resolution, but I don’t think your points lead me to believe AI generated this.

          The finger looks a little odd, but it could just be the way the shadows fell. The garbage can doesn’t look flat against the wall. If you look in the reflection of the mirror, one corner is closer to the wall than the other, which would account for the distortion you mentioned. The blue coat of the back of the chair might just be a coat. The chair legs seem like they should be behind his leg and the trash can. The foot pedal on a plastic trash doesn’t seem like the sturdiest thing and can just bend. The lid seems symmetrical to me personally. There just aren’t enough pixels in the image for me to see if there are buttons or not.

          Maybe I’m completely wrong and it is AI, but it seems to me like too many of the fine details match up with reality. It may also be the low resolution that makes things seem more realistic. If it is a fake image, I think it would be more likely that the photo was taken out of context or staged.

            I mean it’s possible it’s real. But the seat of his chair has no leg under his butt cheek. If you zoom in and look at where the seat is going, you would expect a leg there at least to be visible
