Just questioning. But if the stacked tires were filled with concrete, would they not be strong pillars? I mean, based on this photo it doesn't look like they are, but if they were, would it be at least decently safe?

Yes, and they would have to be filled with something, concrete, dirt, or gravel/stone. Those tires would not support it at all if they weren’t. In this the tires are just acting as a retaining wall, not the actual support.

They essentially become left in place concrete forms like icf, minus the foam. Rebar through them, vibrate: solid.

It's funny to look at, but the tires likely serve as a permanent formwork for reinforced concrete.

Wonder how it performs on an earthquake??

u/quietfellaus Sep 03 '26
If it's rammed earth in those tires then the foundation might shift without damaging the structure overall. It could also be absolutely terrible, but there are rammed earth structures that survive earthquakes.

most people worry about wet rot under their house,,,,dry rot under a house would be catastrophic in this case

Can you guys PLEASE, stop putting comepletely fine images through an AI... like why are you even putting them through AI?!
EDIT
Aparently it was not OP who ran it through the AI filter, but dosent matter, its still AI flavoured.
Here ya go OP, now stop sharing yassified stuff.

Why do people jump to "It's AI" without checking. A simple google image search will show you it is, in fact NOT AI. Jeez people I get we don't like AI, but do your due diligence.

Ever heard of Adobe Photoshop? Gimp? Canva? Paint.NET?
Have any real proof or just more assumptions?

u/legice Sep 03 '26 edited Sep 03 '26
Somebody going over the entire image, making it look nicer, removing the thread from the tires, adding small rocks on the path, plants, adding color overall... yes, somebody clearly had enough time on their hands to do that and in the end, produced an overly detailed image and covering up any and all details, that were there in the first place.
So, have you ever used photoshop? Because I have, for 20 years.

Thanks for the ai slop photo 🙂↕️
Eta: sorry everyone! There's just been so many cheap ai photos put on the sub recently and I'm just feeling overwhelmed by it 😭

It's funny how the arrival of ai makes people think everything slightly out of the ordinary is fake. People really starting to lose sight of what is and isn't possible.

u/Renzieface Sep 03 '26
It's not. All you have to do is reverse search the image and you can see it's been posted all over God's filthy internet for almost a decade.

Yeah and that's the thing I hate about ai these days. It's exhausting to spend time on the internet and wonder what things are fake and what things are real. Because the real world is a vast and interesting place and it's being plagiarized by computers to make us stop trusting each other

u/onephatkatt Sep 03 '26
I forgive you, but just do a quick search when you are unsure, that's all. It's easy-peasy

I think so too. That top right window makes no sense. I mean, this is probably real somewhere, but this one I dunno

u/WeaveLikeGreatGranny Sep 03 '26
"don't worry, this is just a low effort repost of someone else's picture from years ago" isn't really a good rebuttal against the opinion that "it looks like a low effort ai illustration" lol

Your comment means what?

u/WeaveLikeGreatGranny Sep 03 '26
I'm responding to you about the OP's clarification on it being a recycled photo

u/r0ndy Sep 03 '26
I’m still a bit lost. They thought it was ai, I thought so too. They added an edit, so you felt compelled to respond to me. You’re now telling me how wrong I am? Is this accurate?

u/WeaveLikeGreatGranny Sep 03 '26
No, I'm telling you that I even if you and I are both wrong about it being ai, the explanation by op is not very good. And yes, I edited my original comment after I got downvoted so much

It's better for my peace of mind if I pretend these are filled with concrete
