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.
  
  That's called a reflection.
- It definitely looks a lot like Toronto, but it's been a while since I was there
  
  Looked like Toronto to me too. Very similar design to the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown Toronto between the waterfront and CN Tower.
- Looks straight out of Toronto QEW downtown.
- It’s AI generated. Weird double lane markers and every car’s headlights and bulbs in their homes being blue.
  
  it doesn't look ai generated. there are no "weird" details
  photoManipulated maybe?
  
  I am guessing Shanghai China.

  We don't need AI to design nightmares like this for us. We do it to ourselves.
  
  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
  
  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

I wonder how many cyclists it took to cause all that traffic. /s

Can I get a picture of INXS now?
- I used my sister’s copy of “Kick” to get the monster “Gooaall!” in Monster Rancher.

Nightmare.

It's beautiful if you don't look at it for more then 1 second

let me work from home

It’s really pretty but I’m glad I’m not down there in all that traffic!

Is this Los Angeles?
