    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.

          A reflection. At this time of the year. In this part of the country. Localised entirely 3 floors down?

        Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.

        it doesn’t look ai generated. there are no “weird” details

        photoManipulated maybe?

          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

            The windows repeat several times.

            That’s called a reflect.
            A reflect of a distant light source, that’s why it’s extremely similar.

                I was talking about the 3 blues one.

                And if the image is fake, then what is it ? AI generated ?

        Nah this looks pretty standard photoshopping to me. Pretty sure the colour grading is one of the standard filters in lightroom

    You know you messed up when a photographer can take what seems to be a long(ish) exposure shot of a highway.

    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
