Are you trying to imply the short sleeves instead of long, no winter hat with a pom pom, no cane using, non skinny as a rail gentleman on the left is Waldo from the Where's Waldo book series? Well I say this post is shit.

Context please?

The iconic red and white horizontally striped shirt is reminiscent of Where's Waldo/Wally?

The books consist of illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally (or Waldo)

That's a bait wally, he doesn't have blue pants or the red hat or a cane. The real wally is probably closer to the ocean.

All this time we thought he was running and hiding but he wasn't running, nor hiding. He was searching and he finally found her. Waldina is the reason Waldo isn't hiding anymore.

My first thought was that this is around Belmont Park in San Diego, but that building on the left side of the picture has a bit of elevation, where the land around Belmont is flatter.

Is this in Santa Monica?

AI bullshit

How sad the world has become that you think this is ai.

you can see the ai upscaling if you zoom in enough (prolly builtin to the camera app you're using)

It's really not ai. It was a point-and-click photo. That's it.

in not saying it's ai generated, I'm just saying that the ai upscaling applied is probably why people are thinking this image is AI generated

What do you mean ai upscaling was applied? All I did was point the camera at the view in front of me then click the button to capture it 🤔 Are you saying that my smartphone manipulated the photo somehow? everything looks normal in that photo to me except things are blurry and unclear because everything was far away and my lense was probably smudged & beaten up a bit from age anyway

most smartphone camera apps automatically apply ai upscaling/enhancements

We're gonna have to go back to Polaroid technology for unmanipulated instant photos again, aren't we?

okay but seriously there's literally nothing in this photo that didn't occur in real life at that moment. I want you to put a red circle around everything in that photo you think is ai.

did you even read what i said

Yes. You said "you can see the ai upscaling if you zoom in enough." So I'm asking you to zoom in and make red circles around the things you think are ai upscaling. Whatever "ai upscaling" is, I have no idea what that means. I'm asking you to show me with red circles.

bruh you're arguing abt this and you don't even know what ai upscaling is?

Hey, you! Take a screenshot of that picture, zoom in, and put red circles around everything you think indicates ai upscaling. Do it and post your red circles photo here.

The guy on the left right just decided to wear one sock because reasons?

e: or the guys in the middle with the copy pasted same leg, or the guy with one jacked bicep...

Zoom in or get glasses, I think your talking about 3 people like they’re a blob?

This guy is just trolling, ignore him. It's obviously not AI.

Buddy's been on the internet a little too long... Can we get 10cc's of real kitten photos over here?

I know the exact spot this photo was taken. It's clearly a cell phone picture, not AI generated.

Thank you! Yes I literally emerged from the beach club yesterday, got on the boardwalk, saw that comically-dressed fellow, pulled out my phone and snapped this spontaneous picture. There's no editing or anything whatsoever, especially not ai.

Santa Monica Pier & all the wacky random people always makes for fun photos.
