3 Golden Gate Park Image that Snopes had to Verify Wasn't AI

[TheGroove]

Taken with the Mavic 3. This photo went viral and made the top of the front page of Reddit (a first for me in my 10 years on the site), prompting some to complain that it was AI. So Snopes decided to run a story on it and then the local news picked it up and run with it, all the while nobody even bothered to ask me, the photographer, about it until someone pointed it out and I reached out. Wasn't sure whether to be flattered or insulted lol.

Anyway, here it is in all of it's (now verified not to be AI by Snopes) glory.

Great shot! I guess some people can't grasp that shots like this are actually possible with use of regular technology.

AI has really blurred the lines, I've had several of my images/videos get called out as such now, when even 6 months ago that wasn't ever questioned.
