I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

Welcome home then.

serves you right for posting something so lewd.

stupid sexy pinecones...

I don't see how they could have mistaken this for AI. It just doesn't have the vibe, there's too much roughness and it's not just totally overloaded with details.

I think I got banned from /r/pics for some random comment too. We can be twinsees.

Right? I don’t get it. They gave no reason except pointing to a rule that stated no posting someone else’s work as your own. Which obviously was not the case here. But they did not respond to a request to look into it.

Misleading thumbnail. Looks kinda like a lit joint.
