AI came along and just whacked it with the sloppy stick.

What? Do roads not become crosswalks where you live?
THE STRUGGLE BUS!! ITS HEADING RIGHT FOR US!!
It’s like it’s trying to make a right turn from the left lane. But heading straight for the sidewalk on the corner. Where the stop sign is facing the wrong way. Plus those apartments in the background. Or dorms. Looks like something out of an old video game.
Guys should we ban ai generated content in this community? People keep reporting this post as "ai slop" but we have no actual rules against posting ai here.
Didn't realise it was AI apologies all
how dare you not know whether every image on the internet is ai or not.
I mean the fact that the road makes no sense, the angle of the sign makes no sense, or that the words on the bus branding are fake didn’t give it away?
why would i look that close at a meme
First of all, how dare you
I mean the fact that the road makes no sense, the angle of the sign
i would posit that you have not been to That Intersection in My Town, where the road makes no sense and neither do the angles of the signs
If you search “uconn struggle bus” you will find the original image. This looks like an AI recreation of that.
It cropped out the oakleak and added a second “U” but the majority of the image is faithfully simulated
except for the pedestrian crossing morphing into the lane and the horrible airbrushing of everything, and straightening the tires so it doesn't look like it's turning properly
What upsets me is that somebody couldn't even bother to put in the minimum effort to use an image editor to add a little text or even an online Meme maker...
So the AI is used to bastardize the source image due to this laziness...
That is a very odd looking New Flyer D40LF it appears you generated.
Ladies, watch out for Mr. Struggle. Pick a godly man
