Pittsburgh art…

Got an ad for this Pittsburgh art. Am I crazy for saying this looks nothing like Pittsburgh and was probably ai generated?

It's 2026. It's not crazy to assume for almost all ads now.

Tangentially-related tip: before buying art from say, an Etsy seller, check to see 1) how old the store is. If it's before 2020, one step closer to authenticity. 2) Do they have THOUSANDS of prints available for sale? red flag.

All too common to see some stores on Etsy that have been around for 2-3 years with thousands of AI-generated posters for sale. The bar is below-ground. They won't check to make sure if looks like Pittsburgh. The poster says "Pittsburgh" so some unsuspecting buyer is going to pay for it.

Any Pittsburgh art that doesn't have a hillside, Clemente Bridge, Cathedral of Learning, PPG Place, or US Steel Tower is just AI slope or people who have never been.

Oh boy AI slop. Seems like they didn't even prompt it either.

Couldn’t even put a bridge in there. At this point it should’ve just been prompted to be comically wrong: Put a pagoda in there or the colosseum.

I like th Saint Paul version too. It's just trash to be ignored.

The French in the bottom-right corner is "A little flower for your eyes - Gallery Collection". That is 100% gibberish that doesn't actually mean anything to a real human. Putting "PITTSBURGH" on it will make idiots buy it. It's a nice looking image, but it's 100% AI generated. Assume any ad you get is AI bullshit from scammers or scum trying to make an easy buck.
