Vintage roadside

Here's a not great, but real photo I took of a sure enough vintage roadside attraction. Since 1950, the Frosty Mug has been serving up some excellent hamburgers. The new interstate between Birmingham and Memphis bypassed this place several years ago, but from the size of the crowd there when I visited, it hasn't slowed them down. If you're ever down around Jasper, AL, I would highly recommend it.

Realer than real, eh?

I got nothing against it, provided it’s not being misrepresented. Indeed, there’s lots to like about it. Art is often idealized depictions, and always has been.

Yep. Genuine imitation.

I'm sure everyone reading this thread has seen these images before, and countless others like them. AI is just the latest technology, but there's definitely nothing new going on.
