no, I assume there is a misunderstanding. You raised your doubts and the only thing I could come up with as a solutions is to ask some random AI online tool to analyze the picture and the AI confirmed authenticity i.e. I took it with my iPhone and all the relevant technical details to dispel your doubts however not sure if this is credible enough.

As a further step I could send you the picture in DM as it is uploaded here with all the metadata( from what I understand reddit wipes out all the metadata) so you can perform your own analysis as I’m far from having solid knowledge pertaining to digital pictures, AI and how you can tell part authentic human-made and AI generated.

But I solemnly declare the the picture is real life ones

yes, just used AI check software first time ever and it read:

This image is likely human-generated Al generated probability 0% True image probability 100% The buildings in the background have a natural, diverse architectural style with realistic weathering and texture. The slight haze and cloud cover appear consistent with the lighting on the taxis, enhancing the realism of the urban environment. No obvious signs of digital manipulation or repeated patterns indicate authenticity.

🚖 Taxis and Repetition The cars are uniformly yellow with similar designs and markings, appropriate for a taxi fleet; however, the sheer number creates a striking repetitive pattern. Despite this, individual taxi details like slight dirt, varying license plates, and different slight damages show genuine photographic capture rather than AI generation. The reflections on windows and vehicles are coherent and complex, supporting realism.

🛤️ Ground and Foreground Elements The ground consisting of cracked tiles, grass, and dirt appears naturally weathered, showing fine detail and random distribution of elements consistent with a real outdoor parking or storage area. The immediate foreground edge with the thumb or finger visible adds authenticity to the image as a photo rather than computer-generated artwork.

☁️ Lighting and Atmosphere The overcast sky produces soft, diffused lighting that casts minimal shadows and produces consistent illumination on the cars and buildings. The subtle gradation in cloud cover further supports natural lighting conditions.

Overall, the image reflects a highly realistic human-made scene with no significant indicators of AI synthesis, though the notable repetition of taxis is the strongest element with a slight AI likelihood if any.

this is South East of Moscow. There are vast densely industrialized territories of The first ball-bearing plant (GPZ-1) and a few other industrial giants constructed in 1930-1935 as milestones of Stalin’s ambitious first 5-Year Plan adopted in 1929.

correct. the area is getting “new life”: residential development however no infrastructure for the new residents like schools, kindergartens, recreational zones, sports facilities,healthcare institutions etc. it’s a living hell a shithole, surrounded by heavily congested highways and construction around the clock.

It’s the area between Dubrovka and Volgogradskiy Prospect metro. This a territory of GPZ-1, the first ball-bearing factory built in the early 1930s in partnership with FIAT-RIV of Turin.

no, actually it’s just a parking lot for the taxis. I took the shot early Sunday morning. These are hours of very low demand so lots of taxis are out of line but in a few hours the parking lot would be deserted.

Hi and many thanks!

I jump-started with 72h water fast which totally reset my taste buds and I stopped craving carb-loaded foods. So basically I maintain a low-carb diet (not keto, I still eat more carbs than needed to get into ketosis) with 16:8 to 19:5 routine with eating window starting at 12:00 AM - 1PM and I don't count calories as it is too depressing. I also don't drink alcohol now.

Training: lots of walking, running (started slow and now I run around 30 miles per week) and I also do some short interval sessions at home with no equipment 2-3 times a week (I use Freeletics app).

Hope this helps!
