@cmconseils they don’t build them like this anymore. A shame.
@schoedland @cmconseils Pretty sure they never built them like this.

That’s what I came to say. I am very curious how an AI invention like this comes to be posted with a specific street in a specific city… how did it acquire that? who was deceitful? or was it some kind of top level ignorance? 🤷‍♂️

@cmconseils @foyglgezang @schoedland

Huh… it does exist. But doesn’t look like that in my Google drive-by with 16 yr old images. The distortions in the OP still reek of AI though, perhaps someone tried to ‘improve’ on it?

@DavidM_yeg @cmconseils @foyglgezang @schoedland My guess is that there were cars parked in front, and someone used a "magic edit" tool on their phone to remove them. The rest of the image doesn't have anything wrong with it (at a glance).
@GrandTheftUrkel @DavidM_yeg @cmconseils @foyglgezang @schoedland I think you're right with the cars, but there's a slight difference of the flower in the right door window as welll. Might have been broken and repaired in the meantime though, but I doubt it, as it probably would have to be repaired exactly the way it was before. To me it looks over-shopped with AI-tools.

@GrandTheftUrkel @foyglgezang @effdeekaa @cmconseils @schoedland

Looking at in-door windows, they are both different… I suspect the intervening renovations may have included new glass. In the older photo, the door windows don’t match the others very well, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were already not-quite-true replacements, and that the renos included commissioning new ones based on the original design… ?

@DavidM_yeg @GrandTheftUrkel @foyglgezang @cmconseils @schoedland Yeah, I guess you're right, the replaced in-door windows seem to be legit, not AI.

@effdeekaa @DavidM_yeg @foyglgezang @cmconseils @schoedland I must say, I really resent that we can no longer simply enjoy images for what they are, thanks to AI 😔

You could've said the same about Photoshop 20 years ago, but deepfakes and generative AI are on another level of deceptive that I think the reactions we're seeing this thread are justified.

I'll also say, this is a really cool house, and I'm happy to have seen it, OP!

@effdeekaa @GrandTheftUrkel @schoedland @cmconseils @foyglgezang

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly on all counts… definitely a very cool house!
