    At the bottom of the bus stop is rain going down a dirty surface. Given it’s in London, I’d be surprised if that wasn’t there.

    It really doesn’t look like ai. Look at the background and the reflections on the ceiling. Those all make way too much sense for this to be ai. I’ll say it’s possible that this is edited. Someone could have swapped out a different bus stop ad.

      Nah i am talking about the bottom of the red roof. Could be paint peeling off or just weird ai dreams.

      Moved out of London myself, otherwise this would have been a 30min trip to check for me. And i would.

          lol not doubting its a real place i lived in that neck of the woods a few months ago, but now its 2h each way and 40 quid off peak train for me + tube to check. Which is a little too much. I am just doubting that this made it through advertising standards and actually got posted. This would be controlled by TFL, so I would imagine they would also be previewing ads abot to be run.

          Would be nice if we got a few more pixels… trying to convince some local colleagues to go check it out.

          • Dude you can buy keys to open this digital graffiti things and insert whatever poster you want.

            If this is actually in that spot it is because someone put it in there , not by contacting the company that controls these eyesores but by being malicious in a good way.

              Oh are they like electric/gas cabinets/fire gates then? just need a generic key? Fair enough I didn’t know.

              • Correct. Thing they’re like triangle shape keys some of them. There was a website, which I forget the name of, that would show tips for doing stuff like this and where to get the keys from etc.

                    Generally ad companies want to sell space to the highest bidder that won’t cost them more money than they’d make. They only bow to foreign Nazis when foreign Nazis are the most efficient way to make money, and that is more about bowing to money than bowing to Nazis.

                    You can never trust a salesman. And ad people are salesmen selling you buying stuff from other people. Politicians are salesmen selling that they should be in charge of you.

        It all looks way too consistent for AI. AI images tend to be slightly blurry and don’t have a lot of consistency especially with text

        There’s a lot of stuff in there that I don’t think an AI would include like the random sticker on the pole, the reflections on the plastic that covers the ad, the bus stop paint on the road is rather worn but not massively worn I feel like an AI would go in one direction or the other.

        That’s not the red coming over the lip that’s grime on the red part where water has accumulated on top of the lip
