I hate AI. I was struggling with reality before, now I don't know which way is up.
Basically nothing you see anymore is real - Trump must love it as he can play the 'Fake News' card all the time.

Personally I'm just thinking if the winning entry for the January 2026 ZRoadster photo competition should be revoked - what do you reckon @SV8Predator 🤣

Bizarrely the photo is real, but the subject matter is fake. Or is the other way around??:D

Reckon you've got a photo of the month winner there 👍

That's awesome!
Why the H plate, though? That is the first letter of my surname, but even AI couldn't know that. Or could it?

I always thought a picture on the hill roads above St Tropez, or near lake Como would be apt.

I do use AI a lot while designing bits for my ReBody. That picture above has the spotlights AI'ed into the grill because I wanted to see what it would look like with Z8 style spots in the grill. Not sure I like it. But beats cutting holes and filling them again.

BTW I voted for that winner in December. Sorry. I assumed it had been cropped but didn't see any problem with that. Most of us crop our pictures I think.

On the other hand with AI everywhere maybe the rules of the FOTM could be updated.

But, on the other-other hand if, in future, somebody really feels the need to totally fake their FOTM then maybe we should let them.

All very convincing, a little too convincing. Wait until the scum bags start using them on FB car adds :(

Apologies I was referring to January 2026 rather than December 2025.

Personally I dont think there is anyway to effectively police it other than to ask entrants to highlight where AI has been used.

Suspect we are well beyond that point already - in fact Autotrader actively offers the option of a rendered background 🙈
