This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it. (sh.itjust.works)

I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

"Please provide proof of authenticity before I allow myself to enjoy this picture."

I don’t get the ideological hate for gen-AI - especially when it comes to visual art. All I care about is whether I enjoy looking at it or not. I couldn’t care less who or what made it.

There are communities for AI generated images. The presumption for photography communities is that submissions are taken pictures.

According to OP this is not AI generated.
