Picturing the pools of vomit in the vicinity of this bus shelter advert.

Sidewalk scene. An advertisement, possibly on a bus shelter, for a "Breakfast Burrito. Only $13.50. Eggs, potato, sausage, cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla."

The buritto illustration is AI generated. The interior is a hideous bubbling mess of stringy cheese, irregular holes, black spheres, and what might be insect grubs. — Sidewalk scene.

Is this real?

I mean, isn't it at least someone's job to look at the product before printing?

@chu @StefanEJones I’m wondering the same. It’s not like you could look at this and miss the problem. So, either no one looked at it, or it can’t be real. 🤷‍♂️

@chu @StefanEJones The edge of the sign has an interesting drop shadow.

The original image zoomed in at the edge of the sign, showing a drop shadow behind the sign that wouldn’t normally occur on a photograph of a sign.

@ramsey @chu Possibilities:

* The entire image is an AI fabrication.

* The ad is mounted on a bus shelter transparent wall and that's some kind of reflective artifact.

@StefanEJones @chu A transparent wall in a bus shelter could do it, but I’m leaning on the entire image being AI-generated as a way of making fun of slop. 😉

@ramsey @chu Yes, very "meta."

I don't think any store would let that go.

I don't like AI, but this is an effective parody use.

Even funnier would be to PRINT that horrible poster and hang it somewhere In Real Life.
