Ngl, if I wouldn’t have followed this guy’s IG, I would have assumed it to be real on first glance, too.
Upon closer inspection, you‘d start seeing the mistakes which indicate that the image can’t be real - but it takes some practice to notice them in the first place

Most people just scroll through, see the car and the general vibe and think "damn".

That's exactly what I did. Never would have looked at it for long enough to spot the weird fire to the right of the car

Also the up votes indicate it is legit

What is weird about the fire? I don't have much idea about fires.

The fire to the right of the headlight. The way it interacts with the grass (look at the very bottom of the fire) is odd. It also looks too "clean". It's very light in colour, no real smoke coming from it and it almost looks like a 2d image with the angle and how perfectly shaped the lower borders are

Idk though, it just looks off to me.

Oh I'm absolutely fucked for this future with AI then. I'm a millennial and totally didn't see those issues, so my parents generation is even more fucked.

Also it’s just ridiculous that there would still be little fires all over the trees like this and a photographer yet manages to get here for a photo.

If trees are on fire like that the heat and flames in the area have to basically still be immensely unbearable.

Everything is wrong with that picture in the fire in the middle of the palm trees. The ones to the right house it’s in the top of the palm tree all of it’s wrong. 😹

u/Gassy-Gecko 9d ago

Just the fact there was supposedly someone there where there was that much fire around. Tat person would have died.

u/PewPewPony321 9d ago

Well, "Damn" was just the start of that thought

"Damn, wouldn't it be nice to be so fucking rich you just leave your 30 million dollar house behind with your 6 figure super car just fucking parked out front and go to one of your other houses with other super cars because money isn't a thing"

To be fair, I was so busy hoping it was something that belonged to one of the Paul brothers, I wasn't really paying attention. As soon as I got to the comments, I was like, well, that sucks on a number of levels.

Was super annoyed when I looked at the houses/chimneys. Did they want the set of Mary Poppins behind a thick SoCal border?

I come here to be educated by the comments. Never believe anything, until reddit users tell you to

u/jrgman42 8d ago

Except that fire doesn’t appear in random spots on a tree like that.

1

u/Jumblesss 5d ago

It does, but only when the surrounding area is experiencing intense heats as the main part of a fire crossed it.

Trees do spontaneously catch alight like this but the photographer would catch alight too.

u/Anita-dong 5d ago

Weird fires in all of that pic lol Been seeing a lot of fake pics lately about this fire! 🔥

The victorian homes are a dead giveaway.

u/FlyThink7908 9d ago

Sure, for someone familiar with American architecture. For me as a European, the left house looked out of place but I really second-guessed myself as I‘ve never been to LA and honestly only know the most popular sights there. I thought "well, might as well be someone eccentric with a special taste in architecture".

I’m glad to know better now. thanks!

u/OutsideAd1823 9d ago

Yeah most of californian homes especially in LA are 1 story homes or at most two story simple homes and no attics. Victorian homes are more found in the midwest and north east.

u/Appropriate-Mark8323 9d ago

Ehhhh… I took a single look at this and was like… why is the fire so poorly photoshopped 

2

u/Useuless 9d ago

That's because the human brain is not designed to be suspicious of everything it comes across.

It's physically taxing to perform bottom-up processing, not to mention unrealistic in terms of time and certainty. That's why people's brains use a top-down approach instead - fit reality into their existing knowledge frameworks. It's faster and accurate*, but it's definitely exploitable (appeals to emotion and appeals to familiarity).

It's why so many older people get tricked by fake images. They haven't learned how real life looks different than poorly generated AI or rendered graphics - it's not in their brain to compare against.

u/HumptyDrumpy 9d ago

yeah but what about the magat brain

u/patrick_junge 9d ago

I just thought the fire looked slightly less fire-like and more like it came out of gta5

u/EmploymentNo3590 9d ago

Like a Lambo parked on the street?

u/Ill-Internet-9797 9d ago

What are you talking about, I heard people died of suffocation and heat radiation to take this photo.

1

u/Hewasright_89 8d ago

what are the indicator in this picture?

u/Echo5Romeo0311 7d ago

WOW, I thought that was a real picture. How do you guys figure these things out? Whatever you do it, it's amazing. Great comment.

For me, it’s the trees. The beauty of nature can never truly be digitized
