Where is this? I'm a big fan of cityscapes, and even though being in this would depress the fuck out of me I do find it beautiful.
I couldn't find the answer but I'm gonna guess Tokyo. If anyone finds a source I'm interested to know as well.
Traffic is the wrong side of the road for Japan. There is some text at the ground level of a building in the bottom left that looks like Chinese-style characters, but I’m not sure.
I hate that I have to look closely at these to try to evaluate if it’s AI or not. I think it’s real but I can’t say with 100% confidence.
AI, check the identical blue windows on the high rise in front/lower left, continue with the other wacky windows there.
Nonetheless a fantastic cityscape.
Those windows with the curtain drawn the exact same way and the on ramp looking like something out of Cities: Skylines look like AI, but everything else looks too logical to me. They even have the sign accurately laying out the nonsense traffic pattern of the road looping around and underneath the highway.
It's very well done and I hate that it takes this much effort to check whether or not a photo may or may not be fake.
Yup. There also weird double broken lane markings. Everyone’s headlights being blue as well.
Considering its in a Reddit post from 2019, I think this is regular ole Photoshop, not AI.
I'm putting my money on AI if this is a US setting, too much spacing between cars.
Mm, Tokyo, are you sure? Nobody appears to be drifting.
Judging by the Subway sign in the lower left, I'm thinking this is somewhere in China. The locations I've seen in Tokyo only have the name in English.
