    Is it just me or does this have all of the features of an AI generated picture? I'm calling Shenanigan's on this one.

    I still maintain that it looks fake, even though a Google search states that it is real. Things are what they are.

    At least I will admit it. Some people defend the Gub'ment for no reason, some people say that men are women and vice-versa. Some people say cables don't matter and that all amplifiers sound the same.

    At least I try to be real and genuine. No matter what.

    I was just goofing with you. I agree that it looks like it could be AI.

    One thing that I see a lot of on real estate sites are those images that look absolutely lush. They are taken with cameras that have an option where they take 3 images at once and then combine those 3 files somehow in post. We did something similar with multiple copies of the same audio track in the (editing software) timeline when I used to edit music videos. I think it might have a similar effect with photos. I can't remember what type of cameras those are, but I think it has the same 3-letter name as a feature on newer TVs but they are 2 different things. "HDR," maybe?

    Anywhich, those cameras tend to give a look that is now seen frequently (i.e.: "daily") in fake AI-generated images. I often see fake images of 1962 Ferrari 250 GTOs with design features from other Ferraris that were never seen on that car. Or on any Ferrari whatsoever. The BS factor is growing exponentially these days. :p

    Not me.
    I'll lie to you if I think it'll do you some good..
    I'll also lie to you if it'll do me some good.

    To be honest, sometimes I'll lie to you just because I'm feeling a little rambunctious ....but in a good way. 🤗

    That "You" is a generic "You", nobody specific. 👍

    There was an aftermarket Pioneer radio in my old (and much-missed) Toyota Tacoma like that... I printed the clock reset page from the manual (scraped up online, as there wasn't a manual for the radio with the truck when it came to live with us) and put it in the glovebox. Some seasons, though, I just didn't bother. :|

    This popped up in my FB memories. An actual sign at a park in the snobby north metro area near Roswell/Alpharetta.
