Definitely not AI as copies of it have been posted on the internet as early as 2019. I think it has been taken as a panorama, resulting in that effect where the top ridge of the roof appears to be bending away from the camera

Nothing in this looks weird or like AI to me. Its exceedingly rare to find AI here on Lemmy. I'd turn down the AI paranoia a bit.

This is kinda the issue is anything slightly out of the ordinary now get's labeled as AI. I showed my friend a picture I myself took the other day, and they asked "is that AI"?

I think it’s a real potato quality image that has then been “upscaled” with some crapy tensor algorithm. It’s especially obvious from the squinty cat faces with no whiskers as well as the acid trip to the bottom left of the satellite dish.

I feel you, man. Any image that I don't remember seeing before 2022 gets an asterisk from me, and I hate having to do that.
And even then, before AI there were two decades of Photoshop, but the current stream of synthetic tripe is like a fireman's hose, and now even with videos.
