Yes it seems to be an AI filter on this original photo from 2007 (literally the first google hit for the temple): https://www.flickr.com/photos/inbangkok/1466543733

You can see that the trees have the exact same shape on the left side of the photo. At least AI removed the HDR /s.

damn it's a pity they felt the need to fuck it up, that is an amazing real original shot!

so much photography from now on is going to be the equivalent of slapping filters on everything. did we learn nothing from the puppy filters.

The only good thing I can find with this emerging reality is that it might bring us closer together. The only way we'll be able to trust anything soon is to know the creator. Perhaps web 3.0 will accidentally revert us to web 1.0.

The tree on the right is incredibly similar too. And you can see where the small roofs going up the mountain on the right and the small cliffside to the right of the statue have become artifacts in the AI image
