      It’s Shanghai, Yan’an Road West. You can see the front of Jing’an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There’s definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.

      Don’t think its real. Look at the three identical blue windows on the front left house.

      It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it’s been a while since I was there

        Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.

      It’s AI generated. Weird double lane markers and every car’s headlights and bulbs in their homes being blue.

          Yeah you’re probably right, it may not be AI, but it’s definitely edited/manipulated. Some of the windows are repeated several times.

          Yeah, I would guess that maybe multiple photographs have been stitched together to make the image alongside the color editing.

        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.

            The windows repeat several times.

            That’s called a reflect.
            A reflect of a distant light source, that’s why it’s extremely similar.

              You mean these are reflects? Even the interiors look the same.

                I was talking about the 3 blues one.

                And if the image is fake, then what is it ? AI generated ?

        Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom
