Same picture also turns up online with a duck (interestingly the reflection of the duck is correct, it is missing with the cow)
does make me wonder if its a test of image manipulation software (maybe AI, but could simply be conventional Photoshop type work)
using a funny animal picture and sharing it widely could be a good way to test how well your image manipulation techniques work for other purposes..
@vfrmedia Well. Bugger.

@CStamp I wish I could see what that round sign in the far background is, that might help us place it. Round road signs are only used for grade changes in the US, iirc, but yellow isn't common for round signs in Europe or India, so it may be an advert or similar. Red herring, as it were.
@MissConstrue Thanks for all your detecting.
It is hilarious that a calf is just roaming around and is known.
-
@digitalfootprints Ok...do we know if that one is real?
What is reality these days?
The questions remain the same

Update: The Cow Has Been Milkshake Ducked. Here's the original duck:
I don't know if the original is real. I don't know that anything is real any more.
@MissConstrue I understood that reference!
-
@MissConstrue @kevinrns Hmmm. I can see it easly. The duck is AI too. The colors, the font of the text, the blur,etc.

@CStamp Same. I really thought I was sharing a cute and funny thing that happened somewhere.
Now, don't get me wrong, it's even funnier with a duck, I'll admit...but now I don't know if that's real either.
Stupid timeline. I blame CERN.

Officially hate this timeline so much. So. Much. Also hate that fact that I can't just spot AI any more. I should have had my kid look at it, she probably would have recognized it. She has a burning hatred for all things AI.

@MissConstrue I'm willing to assume it's a photoshop of a different image, duck was first and the baby cow came later. Nothing is real but I do know that baby cow lacks a reflection.

@MissConstrue There is a reflection of someone taking the image, so it must've been interesting. The marker on the paper looks not perfect with the duck, so if it was faked, it was faked really well. And what should've stood out to us more was the fact that there is a person's reflection in the glass, but the calf is not reflecting while the duck is. So, again, if the duck was faked, it was a better job.

@nini Yeah, I didn't notice that on my phone, but it's really obvious on my system.

@CStamp Well, and everyone understands why would wouldn't let a duck in! It's no goose, but it's still closely related to the cobra chicken!

@MissConstrue the breed of duck is also unusual for being seen on the street - whereas in a town near me (Stowmarket) if it were wild mallards this could easily be a genuine scene, or indeed anywhere in Mid Suffolk - the damp, muddy area seems to attract ducks every spring/summer during breeding season, or at least it did - I've not seen as many this year (climate change?)

@ZenHeathen @MissConstrue Nah, that would result in warnings about boys in the yard.

@MissConstrue @Dequei @kevinrns you need references of real items to check against (it happens that real ducks are abundant where I work), and I'm seeing AI stuff that is getting way better at producing accurate images of items such as cars and their components, and targeted towards young people who might not have experienced the real thing to check what is correct and what is not.
Modern AI isn't even mangling the fonts on text in the background as much as it used to..

@MissConstrue I can't see yr comments to see if this was mentioned, but duck has a reflection, and the calf doesn't.
