An Original Or Not?

Almost 20 years ago I posted an image from the TV series, Daniel Boone, where the star Fess Parker was giving a staged spanking to Patricia Blair. The backdrop for the image appeared to be a quarry.

Another image has recently appeared where the backdrop has been changed to a wooded area. Now I’m wondering which is the actual setting. As the most recent version has appeared during the concept of AI, it is possible that someone removed the watermark and changed the background, but it could also be a new discovery.

It wasn’t unusual back in the day for backgrounds to be changed with the same image.

    Back then a find like this was like finding gold and you were the best mining it. I think it only right you find this as well. If it is AI or not, it was found by the best. AI is amazing. I see these vids by a guy know as KFW on deviant art. I won’t give the real deviant name unless you want me to. But his films are all the same, a guy in a very dry and rundown gas station flogs bare naked women. They look real, aside from no marks in all but one. Their faces are so real! I wondered what is your take on all this.

    Thanks for sharing

  2. It does make it look better than the quarry one. If it is a new find great catch and find if not the person that enhanced it should be congratulated for a great enhancement. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.

  3. Having experimented with editing some of my own art I noticed that some AI models do substitute a forest for the original background if it can’t match it so I would guess the forest is an AI edit.
    Too bad there was no actual spanking in the episode.

    This image is being sold on eBay, but then again a good number of movie still spankings are sold there. A person with good printing skills can take old time movie stills and sell them for $10 a pop! I expect that my art pieces will eventually start popping up on eBay. 😉 I’m not familiar with the initials, so feel free to say the name if you so wish. I have no problem sharing the work of other artists. If I find a name that I think you are referring to, I will look at their work on DeviantArt.

    I always questioned the quarry because it didn’t seem to fit into the theme. However, I can tell you first hand that it is brutally easy to change the background using AI, so it wouldn’t take much work at all. I don’t know if it is real or not, but it is being sold on eBay.

    The one thing that makes me question it is the density of the wooded area. In my mind a wooded area wouldn’t naturally be so “thick.” That is my main clue that it might be a fake. There will come a time when nobody knows what is real and what isn’t.

  7. Richard,

    The artist is KentuckyFriedWhippin and his stuff is rather strong for most spankers’ tastes. He is more into the whipping scene. His stuff on deviant art is tame, he leaves out the welts, but the realism and facial expressions are so real, I do fear for our future handle on what is reality. With a few more updates, we can all make our movies as we would have filmed them. His hard-core stuff is available on the site for a nominal fee. ! I only bring him up to illustrate how far and how fast AI is advancing and encroaching on reality. His content is like watching a real Hollywood old grind film, made for drive-ins of the 70’s. Tell me what you think!

  8. Jim,

    Thanks for telling me the person’s name. I did take a look at his work. There is still a lot of negative feedback when it comes to AI-generated art, but people have to start looking to the future. It reminds me of the slow transition from audio cassettes to CD’s. 🙂 I still have some audio cassettes, but I haven’t played them for decades.
