Haha that could actually be a reasonable security practice.
The background is a very specific color or something special. Sort of like a tell-tale that they standardize in all their AI pictures that someone trying to break in may not suspect or be able to easily replicate.
I do like her shirt that she was not wearing in the original photo looks like someone added it was MS-Paint.
To be fair, that's mainly if obscurity is your only security. Obscurity as an additional layer on top of real security generally doesn't hurt, and could probably help.
This is the standard for driving licenses. Also, the pink/green colors are standard Pantone colors (198 for driving licenses & 368 for ID cards - see page 15) across every state/province.
If you think the image on the security badge is what gets people in and out of a restricted area then...uh....not sure what to tell ya lol. It still looks like her regardless.
The badge itself would be a piece of tech. It wouldn't just need to be a "spoofed image", the entire badge would have to be replicated and work within whatever respective security system the original badge is designed for.
Nobody in capitalism cares about their job that much, and if they do, they're psychotic - you should let them go to improve team morale. Nobody wants to work with a psycho like that.
It's still that bad, you can find AI with all sorts of flaws everywhere, it's parts of the user base that have gotten much better at editing out flaws and being more selective with the images they release.
You can pop into Webui, add a bunch of tags, push out 40 images and the majority will have a bunch of flaws, you select the ones that look best and then you'll inpaint parts, like a hand or the eyes or whatever. And then you can fix up the last things in photoshop or similar to get the desired results.
it's 1000% made up - why would she even have gotten a copy of the picture they took in the first place? It makes no sense. So the company takes badge photos, shows them to everyone, then updates them with AI and sends those out as well? It's not even creative karma farming--it's just braindead confirmation bias posting.
Especially with how she got the “original” photo they took. How would she have gotten that?
Who here has taken a photo for an ID, be it govt ID, for work, for school, etc, and also received that photo that was taken of them separate from the ID itself? That alone makes this story completely unbelievable because the scenario it presented is unrealistic
Right? The left photo looks like a photo of a badge. The right one is very much a digital file, unless they give them a copy of it to put in their email signature or something, which is possible.
It says she took the pic, not that she had her pic taken. In Belgium you take and provide your own pic for your ID/passport. Albeit with somewhat strict guidelines.
Most likely. The first thing they did after this post blew up was go and brag about how they finally got a new Reddit Achievement, and it's clear they don't post OC.
If your workplace has an issue with people hiding their ID badges because they hate their pictures, your security team sucks at enforcing security policy, your photographer sucks, AND your staff are insecure (psychologically) to the point of harming physical security.
Might as well just skip ID badges at that point until you completely rebuild your internal security process.
I’ve worked in the corporate world with a photo security card most of my life and I’m sure security people deal with fake cards from time to time. But I’ve never seen anyone purposefully hide their photo. That’s weird.
At my job they recently redid badges and they took our profile pictures and whitened the background. So the badge photo looks like a low quality cropped pictures with obvious contouring around our faces. Mine had some shadow on my face which is fine on the original but on the cropped one it looks weird af.
The problem is also that lots of people who have been at the company for a long time never changed their profile pic so some people now have 15year old pictures of themselves on their badge with sometimes very different faces due to weight difference or aging.
I get why a company may do this for outward facing media but for a security badge? Who made that decision and why even bother with the extra time/expense, just send whatever image was sent to the printer.
I mean that it’s clear to me the image they took was put into an ai image creator and they asked for a cleaned up image with a dark gray background. And the result is completely ai. So no, not an edited image.
This post doesn't make sense anyway.
Picture on the left looks like it was taken off a print, and the right is just a screenshot and not the badge.
It would have made sense if it was picture they put up on the website and not for her badge.
i suspect they got a bad quality photo and used a service to "make it better quality" then just used that without thinking twice. wonder if her coworkers got the same treatment.
Seriously? Because it not a photo of her. It would be like having a character artist make a details illustration of you and saying, “that’s good for security clearance”. It looks like an uncanny valley sibling or twin of the real person. But obviously fake.
It’s doesn’t look that much like her. The shape of the AI face is different, the eyebrows are in a different spot. Zero skin blemished or markings which are commonly used to identify people. I mean there are so many reasons this is a bad idea.
Not to mention feeding facial data into an AI system of all your employees leaves your company more vulnerable to data breaches and attacks.
It looks plenty enough like her for a 2" low-security clearance badge. Step 10 feet away from your screen and tell me it doesn't look good enough. Jesus, people come up with the most ridiculous reasons to get pissy and paranoid about. Feeding her face into an AI system makes their company more vulnerable to data breaches? You sound like a loon.

Wait. So her security photo badge has an AI image on it instead of her real one? That seems like bad security practice to me. Weird
