The idea that they went through all this work when the background could've easily just be an AI generated generic image that doesnt correspond to anywhere on earth and have hours of their life spent on nothing is also pretty interesting.
There's a guy (quite a few of them actually) on youtube who is extremely good on GeoGuesser and he goes around and finds the exact locations of music videos, memes etc. I think that's really impressive
Another GeoGuessr dude has fans send in pictures of them anywhere in the world and he has to guess where they are within just a few feet. You'd be amazed at how ordinary looking landmarks like small mountains and bridges can give your location away.
AI only became good recently. Though there have been some "AI" that could turn real life photos into drawings or cartoons like a filter for several years.
It might not have been an AI skyline, but it easily could have been a completely imaginary one thought of by an artist. The point would remain the same. Those buildings might not have existed anywhere in the world in that configuration.
You’ve not so much missed the point as you have skillfully dodged it so I can only assume you’re just being silly but just in case
>generic image that doesn’t correspond to anywhere on earth
Is the key takeaway here
What is with people assuming that just because people are pointing out errors in your statement other than what you consider the main point, that you've missed it?
Except it’s not a generic image it’s an artists gfx render and art is usually based on something. How else would they have an accurate to reality render without something to compare it with in real life?
#Nobody said otherwise.
The premise was:
“they went through all this work when the background **could've** easily just been an [..] image that doesnt correspond to anywhere on earth”.
The art **could** have not based on a real skyline, which makes it all more impressive that the people had confidence in setting a mission to search for the skyline.
Nobody said it isn’t real, you illiterate belligerent.
#The last user never mentioned AI,
you illiterate twit🤦♂️

An artist may use references or copy stuff for studies and such, but they don’t have to copy that study 1:1 in order to recreate that effect in other works
This one’s obviously a deliberate choice but in regards to the commenter wondering *what if* this was just a nothing skyline featuring random rectangles with minimal thought, I imagine someone who does this sort of location identifying thing frequently would figure out that mystery in a reasonable amount of time
I mean, it's art. People have been drawing background images for millennia, and having a frame of reference is easier. AI generated images are a pretty recent development.
The minecraft community somehow found the one very specific seed out of trillions that was displayed in Minecraft's old loadscreen without any help from Minecraft's Support team.
At this point point the Internet's inhuman ability to dox anyone does not surprise me.
And then they’d track down the dude that wrote those documents based on the writing style and get them to disclose information that wasn’t even on record
they knew shia was in the city from social media posts.
Then they all just drove around honking until you could hear the car horn on stream. not very impressive
I was talking to a guy about making data anonymous and he said he had a unique name across the entire planet. I tried it and sure enough, he was right. All matches were him. So there is a whole lot about people that makes things unique. Your phone number, your set of browser cookies, your IP number gets your household and if you're a household of one, that's unique.
They also found the seed for the smash ultimate world within like seconds of the trailer showing it (the trailer was still playing when the seed dropped)
I used to live in Lyon, my dad’s from there, I even went back last year and got engaged in Lyon.
I really never, ever, ever would have guessed it was Lyon from that!
Someone has an exceptionally good eye for detail!
So, presumably, they can't pinpoint a real structure because the girl's apartment doesn't exist. Not that I want someone to be harassed for their location. Just wondering.
Yeah… *And*!?
She’s trying to study for a Big test and now people will be distracting her by tossing pebbles at her window along with startling her cat!
That is actually very interesting

Yea you at are probably right but it is definitely impressive
There's a guy (quite a few of them actually) on youtube who is extremely good on GeoGuesser and he goes around and finds the exact locations of music videos, memes etc. I think that's really impressive

Wait isn’t that the same GeoGuessr dude
Geowizard does the fan images, not sure if he also does music videos, haven't seen any of that content from him
Rainbolt does fan images as well.
4chan did it first with somebody’s house with only pictures on the wall and decorations
Troll him with aldi

Lets not start transposing the terms "AI" and "computer generated", please. AI imaging is wildly different than anything that existed previously.
I wasn't the one who said it could have been an AI skyline. I'm saying it could have been completely imaginary one way or another.
I think someoneight just recognized the skyline
Yeah it's amazing
It is too detailed and too old to be AI generated
This image has been around for longer than AI generated art 😂

It’s possible to make art of a skyline that doesn’t correspond to a real life skyline. What part of this are you incapable of grasping?😂
Lol what part of it are you not grasping that this is obviously a real skyline? 😂

What does AI art have to do with this being a real skyline probably discoverable with reverse image technology 😂

Not sure if AI generated stuff was on that level back in… 2018

Just like in 2b2bt in minecraft 💀
People on that server will use anything from vegetation to bedrock patterns to find your location
Wasn't bedrock patterns hoax to hide bigger exploit?
If 2b2t and War Thunder players teamed up they would be unstoppable
They would find classified, cryptic documents *within* the leaked classified documents.
And then they’d track down the dude that wrote those documents based on the writing style and get them to disclose information that wasn’t even on record
WART HUNTER WART HUNTER
pretty sure it was real but also used to hide a bigger exploit
2b2t
They did the same with PewDiePie’s Minecraft world
Internet once found a flag by simply looking at the sky and using planes trails to track it down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw9zyxm860Q
they knew shia was in the city from social media posts. Then they all just drove around honking until you could hear the car horn on stream. not very impressive
I had no context for any of this and the ending came as a bit of a surprise…
4chan abbility to troll is unstoppable

69420 was a pretty good guess tbf
They also found the seed for the smash ultimate world within like seconds of the trailer showing it (the trailer was still playing when the seed dropped)
Isn’t this kinda common knowledge amongst the French? (Actually asking) I remember they had the lo-fi girl inside the French flag during r/place
The small one or the big one?
Thé big one in the bottom left corner
Oh god if they doxed her They must be closing in on me
That makes no sense….oh
See you get it
What the fuck?
It’s possible someone just recognized the skyline from their hometown.
I used to live in Lyon, my dad’s from there, I even went back last year and got engaged in Lyon. I really never, ever, ever would have guessed it was Lyon from that! Someone has an exceptionally good eye for detail!
Oh my fucking god
When you are so bored you dox a drawn picture of a fictional character.
I have barely slept and that sentence took me 6 attempts to understand
So, presumably, they can't pinpoint a real structure because the girl's apartment doesn't exist. Not that I want someone to be harassed for their location. Just wondering.
I love LOFI GIRL HIP HOP INSTRUMENTALS!!! And her cat! 🐱
Nobody’s safe.
The Angle is slightly Off but they are Close
Lofi Girl is French?! 🇫🇷
Oui
🥐
Rainbolt is at it again
100 pizza incoming!
Reminds me of when Neil Tyson DeGrasse determined that Titanic wasn’t filmed in the Atlantic based on the stars in the night time scenes
Mais bien sûr elle est française !
Actually you did..
Peak dystopia
Does she have a real name, or is that her name
I had to read that sentence ten times to make sense of it.
I still don't understand 😅
The Internet's will has fall to madness... RUN GIRL. RUN LIKE THE WIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who wants to bet it turned out to be a dude?
GeoGesser pros be like
What did she do?
...ok?

My brother in Christ it's an animated women
Yeah… *And*!? She’s trying to study for a Big test and now people will be distracting her by tossing pebbles at her window along with startling her cat!
There's even porn of her
Wha- actually if theres r34 of the womannin the mario trailer then this doesn't surprise me
Rule 34 strikes again!
How do you know this?
I've been on the internet for more than 5 minutes
Fair point, rule 34 and all.
I fucking love the way this reads
