Is this a real city? If so, which one?
Don’t think its real. Look at the three identical blue windows on the front left house.
A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?
It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it’s been a while since I was there
It’s AI generated. Weird double lane markers and every car’s headlights and bulbs in their homes being blue.
it doesn’t look ai generated. there are no “weird” details
photoManipulated maybe?
I am guessing Shanghai China.

We don’t need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.
That’s called a lens filter (or photoshop).
Please stop calling that something is AI generated, you obviously don’t know how to tell if it is.
This image was made at least before 2020
Yeah I might have jumped the gun the gun by calling it AI-generated, when I was meaning to say it’s edited/manipulated. The windows repeat several times. Definitely not just a simple photo that went through some filters.
You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.
Honestly I find myself trying to figure out how the photographer achieved this effect, rather than focusing on how much space cars take up in the shot. (tint the non-red highlights to blue, then oversaturate the highlights maybe? But how did they get the colors on the street lights?)
But needless to say that city would be better without a freeway cutting through it
Can I get a picture of INXS now?
I wonder how many cyclists it took to cause all that traffic. /s
