Aerial shoot from Mexico City is AI generated
This shoot from smackdown, credits to u/Appropriate-Elk-4676 for the image and the original post.
Nowhere in mexico city are there 3 buildings so close with statues on top, the only one like that is the angel of independence, which sits inside a roundabout surrounded by buildings taller than it.
Not only that, but it's obvious the AI has tried to recreate the shape of the real thing twice, and got it wrong both times, the one that's actually yellow on the center right looks the closest, but a simple google search will show you the area looks NOTHING like this, at all. Stock image of the roundabout. It didn't even get the statue right, probably because on most images from afar you can't notice it has an arm raised
And then the one closer to the camera is just like a copy but shorter. Let alone the skyscrapper with the exact same statue on top, that just doesn't exist.
This image is 100% AI generated, and the source is I live 5 minutes away from El Angel, which is the statue on the roundabout.
