Is this a real city? If so, which one?
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.
That's called a reflection.
A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?
Yes!
It's a reflection of the far away road.
It’s AI generated. Weird double lane markers and every car’s headlights and bulbs in their homes being blue.
it doesn't look ai generated. there are no "weird" details
photoManipulated maybe?
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 ?
I am guessing Shanghai China.

We don't need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.
Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom
Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.
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.
You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.
I wonder how many cyclists it took to cause all that traffic. /s
Honestly I find myself trying to figure out how the photographer achieved this effect, rather than focusing on how much space cars take up in the shot. (tint the non-red highlights to blue, then oversaturate the highlights maybe? But how did they get the colors on the street lights?)
But needless to say that city would be better without a freeway cutting through it
Nightmare.
Can I get a picture of INXS now?
I used my sister’s copy of “Kick” to get the monster “Gooaall!” in Monster Rancher.
let me work from home
It's beautiful if you don't look at it for more then 1 second
It’s really pretty but I’m glad I’m not down there in all that traffic!
Colorful and attractive.....I hope it's a real City 🌆
