Most certainly ai generated, many things in the picture don't make much sense when looked at in detail. First of all, who would leave that absolute unit of a roll in the middle of the factory? With an axle inside?

As you've been proven wrong, this is a good time to point out that accuracy rates of humans identifying AI pics is ~50%, or no better than guesswork. Keep that in mind the next time you declare something AI. YOU might be the reason an artist quits their passion, not AI

Edit: Since I see how my statement might be misconstrued. I'm aware this particular pic is AI gen. I'm referring to OP's statement about the axle being nonsense, which somebody else showed is standard practice. And that doesn't really take away from my main point.

How have I been proven wrong? The other commenter posted a (real) picture of a similar thing, that proves that these exist (which I haven't put into question), not that the other picture is not ai generated. They even said that some detail bugs them, so no one has 'proven' the first image is a real photograph.

On the other hand, the poster of that link didn't say they're quitting art, just not posting it online. But even if that were the case, receiving (even unjust) criticism is part of being an artist.

I'm not buying that given the second half of your comment. You're just trying to weasel out instead of apoloigising.

It's getting ready to be lifted like this: https://www.123rf.com/photo_135982015_paper-mill-production-of-paper-rolls-for-the-printing-industry-paper-rolls-in-a-factory.html

The one thing that bothers me is the lack of chocks to keep it from rolling, but we can't really see in the black area, they could be there, or the floor could have an indentation or something
