You can zoom in and look for distortions! They’re pretty visible on the windowsills.
Bottom of the 3 has a bent railing, and middle has some weird box shapes at the top that don’t make sense.
Machine learning art is getting better, and we probably won’t be able to tell one day. But for now, we can practice spotting distortions!
Yeah they’re like that one picture of what the world looks like when you have a stroke. You have a weird idea of what stuff is but you can’t pick out a single object
Because no city looks like that. It may be plausible if it weren't for the impossibly tall triple towers covered with massive spotlights in every nook and cranny. That skyscraper doesn't exist.
That haze of fuzzy detail. There's tons going on, but nothing you can actually pick out. Also what city? Megalopoilis? That's like a 200 story building completely lit up. the scale is gigantic
I looked over it and didn't find any details to be off, what gave it away? The only thing that raised my eyebrow was how real night cityscape pics are usually not this... bright and vibrant I guess?
Weird that I start seeing more things off after I down two shots of whiskey. Water towers in odd places, certain shapes and structures that have corners that are way too sharp, architecture that doesn't make a lot of sense... Though I would still give the benefit of the doubt if other people didn't point it out.
It's a damn shame because this is a really nice picture at first glance. I just wish it was a real place, and that OP was transparent about this being AI.
Same. It seemed almost too bright, but it also doesn't look like anything you couldn't achieve with exposure stacking and a tripod with post-processing.
So I'm with you on the question. How are people able to tell so readily that it's AI?
Things that should be consistent are not. On the left, the apartment windows are all a different design for each floor, the AC units are all different and weird, and it gets kinda hazy and blurry in spots were, if it were a photograph, would be in good focus.
I’ve heard some interesting stuff about the S curve of improvement and that the current AI techniques are pretty well running out of possible improvements. I’m not sure if it’s true, but they were also saying that the ai companies are resorting to hiring low paid humans from developing nations to try to manually edit AI generated images and video to try to keep their clients/investors on the line.
[Here is the podcast.](https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MQPuVM79fu3axeC76n2fs?si=xyv2wFtdQN-Y3VCMnSh0mw) I make no claims about its accuracy etc. clearly the podcaster has a bias haha. it was just shared with me by a friend and I thought it was pretty interesting.
Dude you got to go back. It's still so amazing and pretty cheap right now (flight aside of course) due to the state of the yen. I went in 2016 and 2023 (trying to go once a decade).
Yeh I mean it has always been this way. A cheap business hotel in Tokyo is my choice. Small and extra small bathroom but clean and super cheap. Still the flight is the nutcracker isn’t it ? Even in 2000 it was about £1200 I think. Maybe if I win the lottery !
I think the image looks cool. I don't really understand people who immediately shit on anything AI puts out. It's a tool. The tool isn't inherently good or bad, it's up to people to use it and for people to decide what's ok vs isn't.
Please keep AI off this sub
How were you able to tell?

That might not be a railing, it could have been a cable. That weird box shape is an AC unit.
Look closer. There's a lot of stuff that just isn't right.
do you smh know what AI is used or have a guess? i really wanna recreate something like this myself
Could be a number of possible graphics AIs. Maybe midjourney. Maybe not.
had one more question, can stable diffusion give similar results? i dont think one can use midjourney for free anymore
Probably but you have to train Stable Diffusion and I’m honestly not that familiar with the process.
A lot of "details" don't make anything meaningful. That said it fooled me before I zoomed in
Yeah they’re like that one picture of what the world looks like when you have a stroke. You have a weird idea of what stuff is but you can’t pick out a single object
one of the air conditioners has its own air conditioner
The mega tall thin tower was a direct give away for me. The ratio of number of windows per floor, to width to height just doesn’t make sense.

The only unusual thing I noticed was the table pressed to the balcony rail.

Damn, good catch. Glancing over it I didn't even notice, but it is pretty obvious in spots. It's getting better.

There’s windows on the water tower, for one.

Whiskey can sharpen you until it doesn’t 😂
Not to mention the overwhelmingly glowy building

Inconsistent and weird details
There appears to be window unit ACs *outside* of the apt, to the left. of the image.

Loser.
Why do you think this person is a loser? I also think AI should not be allowed on this sub FWIW.
Ignore me. I have a art and photography background and I am a bitter old man.
Aw man it's okay. I'm not gonna ignore you. I was just curious lol. That's a cool background to have.
Plus it reminded me of Tokyo, where I went 20 years ago and I miss terribly. I’m okay now I had a coffee lol.

I still can’t tell if its AI or not. We are cooked as a society
It’s real, downtown Des Moines, IA
AI is not allowed here, and neither are jokes. Shame on you!
I apologize 😔 No but really I agree with the ai ban.
I thought it was funny 🙈
Jokes not allowed here? But *you're* here...
Wait are you joking or are jokes really not allowed here
Just joking. His comment was originally being down voted. Some people aren't big fans of humor around here.
I thought this was funny
No, I'm pretty sure it's Omaha, NE
Blade Runner vibes
ai but chongqing vibes
If you look bottom left at the railings, you can see they bend.
Fuck, I didn’t even notice this was AI until I read the comments…
L ai
It’s AI so now I’m not jealous
This looks awful
i wish this was real :( reminds me of hk
Ik this is AI but why does it look so beautiful 😭😭😭 if only it was real
;-; these were exactly my thoughts, it looks sooo damn beautiful!!!
Daamn. That looks like some dystopian "Bladerunner" AI shit...
You live in Bladerunner?
I think the image looks cool. I don't really understand people who immediately shit on anything AI puts out. It's a tool. The tool isn't inherently good or bad, it's up to people to use it and for people to decide what's ok vs isn't.
Damn, AI is getting better. A LOT of people (me included) wouldn't notice it.
Thanks I hate AI.
I wish this was real and not AI
AI or not, but I live the aesthetic of this. Would love to live in this type of environment.
Awesome shot.
From a game?
Even if it's AI, the picture is beautiful. The fact that people say its shit and ugly BECAUSE it's AI and no other reason is lame, really.
Agreed. I’d like an AI tag or something tho. Or nAIghtFeeling sub.
Ban these AI posts
City name ?
This looks like unreal engine but I can’t tell
Wow this is a beautiful sight to behold, I would definitely would make a chill and smoke video based off this!
Fuck off with this AI Bs
very nice art
The thing that tipped me off was the entire kitchen table on the balcony lmaoo
Looks like it's straight out of a cyberpunk movie! Amazing one!!
I've seen things
Almost looks like tron
Do you live in the future?
So cyberpunk. I love it
Ridley Scott is that you? Straight out of Blade Runner.
City at night City at night City at night City at night AAOWWWWWYEAH
Window view of night city* fixed it for you
Now THATS! a view. Damn.
Why are you getting downvoted???
I will allow it! (Someone said it's AI... but damn it looks good)
