@MissConstrue most bizzarely this looks like a suburban street, possibly in the UK - I'd be inclined to let the cow in at least temporarily, as I'd be worried about it wandering into live traffic (then call the Fire Brigade who will be better equipped to find a more suitable location for it)
@vfrmedia My first thought was Scotland, based on the color of the light, but everything looks new...the sidewalk and the parking lines and everything look fresh.

There was a duck neme this is ai@kevinrns No... I'ma be so mad if I got fooled by ai. I'll go run it through some detectors.

@MissConstrue
There was a duck neme this is ai@kevinrns @MissConstrue Clear selfie reflection but no cow reflection, and the tape on the sign sort of goes in front of and behind the cardboard. Also no glass reflection/glare in front of the cardboard. Pretty sure it's fake.

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.
“Do Not Let The Duck In”
Don’t know if this is real either, but at least you can see the reflection of a duck in the glass door.
Sorry.

@MissConstrue @kevinrns It's 100% AI. You can see it easy without any detector.

@MissConstrue Keeps running into their cooler and grabbing a gallon or six of milk and guzzling them down. Seems fair...

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..

@digitalfootprints Ok...do we know if that one is real?
What is reality these days?

@MissConstrue @kevinrns Looks like Kevin was right.

Edit: possibly photoshopped, so maybe we all were!

@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.

The questions remain the same

@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.
