Highway Named For Trump

1. I would not have been surprised if it did happen--but LOVE this one.

5. For the record...

It was done by this human without the aid of AI. Your allegation is unfounded and your conclusion lacks civility and reeks of personal attack or flaming. The appearance of stalking and besmirching any member here is not a way to "Spread the love" brother.

6. I deleted my post. It did look like typical AI mistakes. I didn't say you'd done it with AI, but I thought

it did look like typical AI, something I thought you'd found elsewhere, and I was pointing out where the illo didn't work as well as it could have.

Since that was your work, it would be simple to fix problems like the sign being misplaced, and having two last names and then a first name to identify the highway. If I thought it was AI because of details like those, other people might also think it's AI.

7. Nothing to "fix"....

Image came from https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-20/highway-to-hell-acdc-bon-scott-tribute-perth-festival/11617342 and the names are exactly as they need be for effect not road sign accuracy. I'm an artist and use "artistic license" on occasion to augment or modify an image to make a point - which you have apparently missed in your dogged pursuit of AI.

8. Australian highway, I see. Not British as I'd guessed. But both countries drive on the left side.

Your having a pic of a highway that obviously was NOT American was another reason I thought that was an AI mistake, as I'd mentioned in the reply I deleted.

And the sign you converted for your photoshop image was not a real road sign. It wasn't even a sign used for the upcoming festival, when that highway would be closed for the festival. ABC Australia's photo caption, in that Oct. 2019 article about the festival that would be on March 1, 2020, says:

Pic date unknown (Supplied: Perth Festival)

so they don't know where the pic came from. I'd guess that's a photoshopped pic to begin with. The pic in the article is the only pic showing that sign over that highway that I could find checking both Google Images and YouTube, and if there'd ever been a real Highway To Hell sign over Canning Highway, even for a short time, there would have been lots of different photos of it.

I would never have guessed you were just adding some names to what was apparently already a photoshopped image that didn't look anything at all like Aussie highway signs.

As you'll see in the thumbnail pic on the second video below.

The first video below is about the festival 4 months after the ABC article you linked to. The YouTuber is using the same apparently photoshopped picture the festival had given to ABC for their story in 2019.

I'm still puzzled by why you used Trump and Epstein's last name, but Maxwell's first name. That had seemed very much like an.AI error. Especially combined with the other oddities that seemed to be AI mistakes.

Anyway, this was why I'd thought it was an AI pic. I'm sorry I offended you. It just seemed to me like an AI pic you'd found somewhere. DUers often post AI pics they've found elsewhere, and I have pointed out problems and oddities with those AI pics.
