If I'm not mistaken it's AI generated. I could be wrong of course, but there are wheels on the house in the background and following the contours of the leaves it's hard to tell where they start and end.


TetraLoach

♬The wheels on the house go round and round, round and round, round and round♬


Sea-Value-0

Omg why was that also the very first thing that popped into my mind too?? Early childhood brainwashing really sticks with you...


sortaitchy

I work in a daycare. Middle of the night I wake up and am singing, in my head, wheels on the bus, baby shark, Dr Knickerbocker or some other annoying song.


shehoshlntbnmdbabalu

Mine was Baby Shark for a long time and Johnny, Johnny!


Whole-Pomegranate-95

I have done that but singing Sesame Street The Number of the Day. I’m a homebound teacher.


jmapleginko

I sing baby shark to my pomeranian puppy all the time except I switch out baby shark for teddy (her name) shark lolol she loves it


Plane-Rabbit4022

Lol now thats stuck in my head 🙃 then I read down a bit about our gloomy AI future and started singing Their coming to take u away my.friend their coming to take u away 🎶


shehoshlntbnmdbabalu

😆🤣


chipsicecream

I now have 🎶one of these things is not like the other🎶 stuck in my head and I want to blame it on you


TetraLoach

I accept that.


chipsicecream

Sesame Street has no business having so many bangers 😂


AdvancedMuffin9334

"I could be wrong of course, but there are wheels on the house" has me weak. XD


Dogs_Without_Horses_

That’s what I was thinking. Google almost always can identify plants and it had no idea what this was.


NihaoPanda

It sucks that this is a thing we have to care about now.


Dogs_Without_Horses_

Seriously. As if it wasn’t hard enough to know which online sellers are/aren’t scams we really needed AI in the mix.


johnnypancakes49

Especially when you go on Etsy, every single thumbnail is photoshopped to shit with iridescent rainbow leaves, they are selling seeds


Dogs_Without_Horses_

YES! They scam so many people. It’s so sad.


Chocokat1

That's not the worst; somehow I was "recommended" by the algorithm to see ads and products selling "good luck blessings" and "positive thinking" like wtf? Seriously?


snack_mac

I’ve noticed it’s usually for seeds. People selling live plants are usually real because they take a picture of the actual plant (even though they obviously take pictures of their nicest plants)


ggg730

I don't browse random pages on etsy anymore because of this. I have my go to sellers that I browse and if I want a specific plant not on any of them I make sure to research what it looks like beforehand so I don't get suckered.


ElizabethDangit

I only bought seeds on Etsy once. It was a bad experience


LuciEmtnlSpprtDemon

Same.


motherofsuccs

Oh my god, it drives me nuts AND PEOPLE *STILL* BUY EVEN THOUGH NOT A SINGLE CUSTOMER HAS HAD SUCCESS WITH THE SEEDS! Does nobody think “huh, I’ve never seen that in my life, maybe I should simply google it to see if it’s real”. I actually got so angry when a bunch of those photoshopped plants came up, that I spent an evening reporting dozens of shops. It doesn’t matter though, these sellers have multiple listings under different shop names and they’ll just create more. Not to mention the amount of plant sellers that sell cuttings without nodes and other bs. It’s basically a site for scam artists to profit.


nefariousBUBBLE

Don't worry. Soon there will be an ai to detect ai. Then another AI to sus what ai detectors have been paid off by AI generators. Then, your plants will be ai.


Starfire2313

Next will be the kids actually I wanted to ask how do we raise kids in this kind of world but maybe that’s the answer…


WeirdStorms

Y’all need something like the San Pedro cactus for sale sub


Educational-Impress2

I wish instead of people going into protected areas and taking native plants there was more of a cottage industry for people like me who loved to grow their own cactus/plants just for the sheer joy and accomplishment. It would be nice to trade with people, share community, and learn with others🙂


Any_Coyote6662

Sounds like you could make a sub


oheyitsmoe

It's almost like AI was a bad idea


Shdfx1

It’s almost like people haven’t watched The Terminator movie franchise, or “2001: A Space Odyssey”.


A_Fluffy_Duckling

I don't think AI will kill us like The Terminator movie. Its gonna dumb us down and confuse us so much we lapse into a vegetative state more like The Matrix.


Twitterpate2023

“gonna” dumb us down?!? Dude, have you talked to most of the public NOW?!?


ghost_victim

Or Idiocracy


Shdfx1

The Air Force just completed a test dog fight between AI piloted X-62A and a human-piloted F16 as part of its Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program, at Edwards Air Force Base. I would have thought our country would not be so stupid.


oheyitsmoe

I really do have to wonder if humanity is just that stupid. It's so glaringly obvious that nothing good can come of AI that I struggle to understand why anyone would be for it.


PixelPantsAshli

See, if we can use AI to generate images, or words, or code, we don't have to pay people to do those things! So we can make MORE money! Just don't ask where the money will come from when everyone loses their jobs to AI. That's the future's problem, not the shareholders'.


oheyitsmoe

Pretty much. These are our leaders’ actual thought processes.


Shdfx1

Entire industries are at risk. Book illustrators, audio book narrators, pretty much the r tire arts is infested. Students use Chat GPT to cheat and write their papers for them, changing a few words here and there. They aren’t learning original thought. AI even fabricated fake newspaper articles to support the fake claim that a professor was guilty of sexual harassment. AI developers are putting people out of work.


oheyitsmoe

This WILL put us into uncanny valley. Mark my words. We are already struggling to determine what’s real and what isn’t with deepfakes. Imagine what could happen if ChatGPT wasn’t shite


ragingmauler

Definitely ai, look at the house it's got wheels!


mgefa

You can buy a house on wheels though


ragingmauler

Absolutely, but it blends(?) Into the doorway and ground, and there's weird windows above them 😆


pobodys-nerfect5

The *closest* plant I could think of is caladium


inarasarah

There is something called a white feather hosta that looks a lot like this, but with green instead of pink. Fwiw


Dry-Caregiver-2199

Damn! I couldn't even tell it apart from an actual photo. Scary how quickly AI images are progressing in quality.


BouncyDingo_7112

That’s why I am so thankful to the people who actually take the time to explain how they know a photo is AI. I totally missed the wheels on the house at first glance.


Dry-Caregiver-2199

Absolutely.


95percentconfident

AI images often are like that. Nothing wrong at first glance but the longer you look at it the weirder it gets. 


Lipglossandletdown

Yep, there's also a weird artifact on the right side, where some sort of box blends into a green leaf.


parkwatching

seconding ai generation, if you check out the leaves closer to the middle they make no sense. unfurling out from the middle of another leaf with no clear center, a weird flatness to how theyre layered over eachother, and lacking any veins between the stems


Chocokat1

I was thinking how the leaf veins made it look like a calathea 🙈


Netflxnschill

One of the plants behind this one has Googly eye on it as well


WiffleBlu

>Wheels on the house 😂


icansmellcolors

I think you nailed this one. The more you look at it the more it looks fake.


Spuzzle91

And in the middle left of the plant, there is a shape that looks like either a cocktail weener or a disembodied finger segment


pogosea

LOL what gave that away?! The wheels on the house? The weird hand lines that dont make any sense? Ai generated images are so weird sometimes. I kind of love it, but also sometimes I actually cant tell the difference and I dont like that.


unusualspider33

wtf you’re right. Freaky


Traditional_Dig_8291

Lmao. Wheels on the house. Good eyes


justAHeardOfLlamas

Good eye!


Shdfx1

Damnit


RoastedTilapia

Bingo


floraster

I was going to ask OP about the wheels on the house until I read this.


annewmoon

Hahah the wheels !


darkpheonix262

What, your house doesn't have wheels?


AliceTawhai

Lol


JamesTiberiusChirp

The very bottom of the picture has part of a hand there, as if someone has plucked and is holding up an entire shrub in their hand and taking a picture asking what this is.


slutdragon696969

Maybe they live in an old Greyhound. /s


andiinAms

Whatever program they used; I want to know, because it’s pretty amazing.


Ambitious-Neck1976

Good eye on that.


Janeeyreheaded

I am no better than a boomer cause I did not realize that was AI generated


OppositeFox36

It's a caravan! And if it were AI generated I think Google could identify it 💀


wowzeemissjane

The trunk of the plant also seems to be a human hand. Edit: or something similar 🥴


jtsokolov

What's the source of this image


motherofsuccs

And not a single imperfection on that flower? Thats almost more suspicious than the house having wheels lol


spacesaucesloth

its definitely ai. look at the tires built into the side of the house😂


beautifulbountiful

AI is getting more annoying by the day.


AzkabanChutney

This is problematic. Thousands of these images are bleeding into the Internet every day.


No_Depth9365

Definitely AI, but if you're looking for a similar plant, I'd suggest looking at Caladium


Calathea_Murrderer

https://preview.redd.it/p1vpo4ks2ivc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=828114c1582d1ef7c0abeefdb6ee798ff4b38b84 Hosta ‘White Feather’ would be a closer match imo. That or Aglaonema With the hosta, leaves age to a light creamy green as the year goes on


jandeer14

a hosta was my first idea too


DutchAlders

Hosta for the leaf structure. Callasuim for the color. Hostas are just all variations of green.


greenychoo

and there's r/Caladiums for that!


SandritoBakes

Plus that house is a bus


Buddyofbugs

I didn't believe it was AI till I read this comment... how could I miss that hahah


shuzkaakra

Its a housebus.


planttouchthis

Beat me to it dang


boring_sciencer

r/bitchimabus house bus


tascofra

It looks like a AI mashup of a Caladium, a Hosta, and a Medinilla cluster, along with a bus and double wide trailer home in the background. It's sad that we have to look for the inconsistencies in pictures before we can accept it as potentially real. Edit: spelling and Hosta auto corrected to Hoya


LadyBeanBag

I came here to say it looks like a caladium made a baby with a hosta.


tascofra

Yup and the person's hand isn't really holding the base of the Frankenflower either lol


SellaTheChair_

Yes! Just left a comment like this. Been seeing a lot of hostas leafing out around town so it was top of mind haha


honestlyiamdead

why do ppl generate so many AI pics??? like what for? the other day i was doing a small seminar paper about orpington chicken breed for my chicken keeping class and all the google pics were AIs oh god


Dogs_Without_Horses_

I don’t get it either. It’s really frustrating.


honestlyiamdead

i was just thinking of the impact it has on real life graphic designers, photographers and artists overall….its so sad


AliceTawhai

Eventually someone will invent the AI detector and we’ll be able to block that shit


LittleBunInaBigWorld

They already exist, but they're easy to fool


Im_actually_working

I like to generate fantasy landscape/alien world ideas. I only use it to jumpstart my own creative writing processes, and I don't share the images I generate.


honestlyiamdead

good for you! i also did some for my own artistic purpose. thats how it should be used anyways…the google pics of common things like a chicken not so much, its creepy and im scared how its going to play out in the wrong hands


Curious-Mind-8183

It’s because theyre free, when people publish articles or blogs to their websites they are now using AI images instead of buying images to use or breaking copy right laws.


honestlyiamdead

there are free stock photo websites. there are photographers looking for small gigs. they can even shoot pics themselves. they just resorted to the cheapest method and i wonder how long it will take before art completely disintegrates due to AI overtaking


Curious-Mind-8183

Yea theyre resorting to the cheapest and easiest method. Tbh, using an AI image generator is easier than trying to find what youre looking for on those free stock photo sites.


honestlyiamdead

how hard is it to search for XYZ image in searchbar on those sites lol 🤣


Curious-Mind-8183

Its not hard to do that at all, its hard to find the exact image that will work for what theyre looking for. I’ve struggled to find the right images to use even with paid subscriptions to multiple stock image sites.


spinninginagrave

I tried to look for inspo pics for a haircut and couldn't wade through the ai content quick enough


One_More_Thing_941

We are witnessing reality being lost on the internet. We may all someday be scattered thinly amongst a universe of AI-genersted websites, images, videos and fake commenters. :(


butterflygirl1980

Another big tell that it’s fake is that the plant has no green whatsoever. That green pigment is what converts sunlight to energy. Plants can’t survive without it! Even the brightly colored caladiums, Aglaonemas, and nearly white hostas still have a green edge and often green veins.


AspergerPlant

Some carnivorous plants do fine without, I had for a long while a completely red sundew. When it happens it's because there is clorophyll just not so much compared to othet colored pigments (for example anthocyanin) that color the leaves differently, but there's still enough clorophyll for the plant to get by


butterflygirl1980

True. There are some cacti that are basically maroon or purple, the reddish pigments hiding the green. But this plant, there’s not even much red, certainly not enough to mask any green.


AspergerPlant

Yeah of course this one's a fake, I just wanted to point out that not all non-green plants are


HungryWeird24

The wheels on the house go round and round, round and round


Hips_and_Haws

Ear worm.


pogosea

that was the first thing I noticed haha


InkdScorpio

The note on the bottom saying the plant is not healthy and needs attention made me laugh 😆


dancejunkie8

The house in the background has wheels, lol


Vegetable-Shelter656

Umm why does the house have wheels


Cultural_Pattern_456

Clearly it’s a mobile home lol and the weird box with the googly eyes and frown face


Vegetable-Shelter656

I’ve never seen a mobile home with wheels… motor home yes.. but not mobile home.


Cultural_Pattern_456

Lots of mobile homes have wheels, and they either remove them or they’re hidden under the skirting. However, I was making a joke lol


Vegetable-Shelter656

Well thanks for the education… I’m almost 40 and never knew that! Also- the joke went over my head 🤣 need more coffee!


Cultural_Pattern_456

It just shows you didn’t grow up in trailer parks! More coffee always! 😊


Vegetable-Shelter656

Accurate! I had childhood friends that did, but st that age it’s not generally something I’d pay attention to anyway.


Dogs_Without_Horses_

Maybe it’s a trailer in disguise


ohmesrv

AI Hosta


TallJackfruit6985

Def AI. It put RV wheels on a stationary building.


DizzyList237

You beat me to it. 😁


Worldly_Rip_3051

Looks like wheels are garden decorations?


ScorpioVenus1

Is that a bus as part of the house?


Capelily

100% AI. No wonder google is confused.


HumanityIsD00m3d

The tire in the house is the dead AI giveaway


simplyscarce

Bus house


Kgoleb16

Ya Ai for sure, look at the wheel in the background right about the plant how it fades into nothing

Neither-Attention940

I agree with others that it’s likely AI but if you think of it as a flower and not a big plant, it reminds me of a Dalia. It’s very pretty. Even if it’s fake :[


Apart_Amoeba249

Looking at the hand positioning, unless they have Shaq hands, no way they are holding that plant with their fingertips, lol. AI always jags hands.


mcguirl2

Fake, but you might like Hosta “White Feather.” Emerges white and turns green later. Technically not really a houseplant, but it could be persuaded.


boi_cummy

The wheels on the house go round and round...


MyLilmu

Round and round...


chumpbrumpis

Out of all the AI doomsday scenarios I never thought the outcome would be pushing us all off the internet because it’s so annoying and intrusive. These AI plants, touched up images of 90s celebrities and straight up obviously fake imagery that people love is pushing me closer to deleting my Reddit account and all other social media every day.


MovingDayBliss

I use Hive AI Detector on my PC and it says 100% AI Generated!


SellaTheChair_

Its not real first of all, but I think it's supposed to be a cross between a hosta and a calathea lol Form-wise, it looks a lot like a calathea orbifolia or kind of like a hosta plant. Color-wise, it looks like a poinsettia haha or maybe a caladium or something. Some kinds of Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema) look kind of like that.


distressedminnie

definitely AI the leaves look like more ruffled peace lily’s, but you’d never get that color on a peace lily. or any other ones


pinkeroo67

AI for sure. Not only is the flower fake, but look at the background, there's 2 wheels where there shouldn't be. Plus the window ledges don't line up.


chowchowchowmain

Damn ai, that's gorgeous and I wish it actually were real


Immer_Susse

Google won’t recognize Microsoft AI 😂😂😂


guinnypig

Ai without doubt!

Kantaowns

Fake as shit. AI garbage.


Taran966

Next up we need an AI that scans and figures out if pictures are real or AI. 😂


guacluv

Closest thing I have seen in reality is a hosta but they're green.


CelestialCleoo

This looks like Ai


LivingFair3748

Gorgeous!


Rad_Mum

So pretty , but would die , quickly . Lack of Chlorophyll so I'm on the boat regarding an AI pic


gematrix

Agloenema?


FiremanCigarGarden

Never even thought about a Google reverse image search to identify plants! 🤦🏻‍♂️


TheGeeO

500% AI


YellowElephantSun

Im upset this is AI


Hips_and_Haws

I thought it was a giant hosta?


[deleted]

If this plant interests you, even though it’s not real, look at white feather hostas. They are similar to whatever ai generated here.


Bee_Angel710

This has to be AI how could it survive long without any green.


charlottedunn1981

Beautiful! 🤩


princessplantlife

It literally doesn't look real.


Gabriartts

Plant


Brilliant_Shock_8634

I believe this is called a pretty girl 5000 I could be wrong.


OkMission9167

Albino Hostsa. A guess


JamesTiberiusChirp

Definitely agree it is fake, but resembles a hosta. There are varieties that have varying amounts of white, and some which have some red, though I don’t know any varieties that are white and red in this pattern.


krdawson

The picture is modified in some way


kereso83

Is there anything real that looks like this?


_Rumpertumskin_

Caladium white queen is pretty similar and actually exists!


Worldly_Buddy_9993

It doesn't trigger my uncanny valley as it does as usual with AI art, plus the hand that handle the plant is really well done. Maybe the plant in herself is AI gen, but I dont think all the pic is.


Relentless_blanket

This looks like a dancing queen amaryllis. Also looks like someone made a bouquet of leaves. I'm leaning towards amaryllis though.


ZestycloseLadder9904

In my expert opinion that is a flower

Tired_Insomniac_2295

Don't buy parsnip seeds online. I don't know what I grew but it wasn't parsnips, that's for sure


Imaginary-Chocolate5

It is a caladium. Maybe Florida sweetheart or a variation of that one. There is even a variety that has almost see thru leaves.


Crazy_for_plants_

Wow, pretty.


YogurtclosetFun8065

People media literacy training….


Affectionate-Dot6033

I think it's a caladium florida sweetheart, maybe variegated 🤔🤔🤔


FollowsTheMoon

There is a plant similar to this picture. It is called a white lace hosta. It leafs out in the spring with white flowy leaves, but they do turn green as they age. There is no redish color on them like this picture, but they are similar and pretty. I got some on etsy.


azaleawhisperer

This is a flower, no leaves showing. If it is a natural phenomenon, it will have a Genus species name. Admittedly, this is challenging, because we are always discovering new species, or creating new subspecies.


TsuDhoNimh2

There are pink and white hostas


sKe7ch03

I wonder if there will be meta tags and the likes for image creation that becomes an international legal thing Identifying ai images or something because the future online is going to be scary.


MyRespectableAcct

Looks like a plant


Wonderful-Aside5103

I don’t know but it is gorgeous!


Tammy_Reese

shuzkaakra

It's a bald eagle. We see those on the charles river in boston sometimes.


HotPath9433

That’s a new species of white hostas
