  It’s very clearly an AI image to me. Just look at the road lines. A double solid yellow line on the right side of the road is not something that happens in the USA. The double yellow line would be in the center of the road. And if this was a divided highway with the coyote being in the center median, then the yellow line would be a single solid line.

    And what kind of pedestrian crossing looks like that?

      And why is there one in the middle of nowhere

        For the coyote

        As someone who lived in the Mojave desert for nearly a decade, that part isn’t that weird. Double yellow and weird spacing in the crosswalk are pretty obvious but a crosswalk that appears to be in the middle of nowhere is quite standard where I was at.

        That was explained well by the post. It allegedly led to a trailhead. I see these types of crosswalks near trails often.

        Still AI, but the story checked out

    Yellow lines always separate directions of travel. So yellow lines will only be down the middle of the road. White lines will be in between lanes travelling the same direction, and along the edges of the road.

    there is an intersection near me (east coast USA) with one lane on one side of 2 yellow lines and 3 lanes on the other side. It’s definitely possible. It does have turning arrows, but those would be a bit out of view from this angle I think (they’re kinda far back). The picture is still very implausible though because of the very uneven lane widths and the weird crosswalk paint. The closest lane looks like it could only fit half a car.

  No… it’s totally legit.

  Here is another image of the same coyote from a different angle that I totally didn’t just render on my PC in 30 seconds.

    That’s actually a more convincing image. The one looks like it’s hiding something because it’s so low-res

      The lights are facing weird directions.

      Yeah, add a bit more jpeg to hide the too perfect focus and lighting and it’d be very convincing.

    I like to think coyotes are perfectly capable of this behavior, but they make the conscious choice to be lawless jaywalkers to stick it to the man.

    Wait, look at the placement of the road markings, especially the yellow line. Wtf

• chiliedogg@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  The road has a solid middle stripe and a double-yellow line near the curb.

  100% fake.

    also notice how they try to sound like newspaper article without saying anything specific.

    genuine news texts will say “person x from institution y says: >…<” not “biologists believe” and “lead researcher says”.

  I looked as well, Gemini said it was real, then I asked for sources and it said it was not true and just a meme.

  Same query except asking for sources:

    Gemini is worse than useless when it comes to this sort of thing. It’s simultaneously the most confidently-wrong of any AI model and also the most willing to fold to even the smallest amount of criticism.

    It will tell you whatever you want to hear, every time, regardless of the actual reality.

    I always get a kick out of people getting frustrated when they SHOW AN AI SOMETHING and then ask if it’s “real.”

    Stunning amount of hammer hate coming from people who aim for their thumbs.

  • Jomega@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I’ve seen foxes use the crosswalk, but never push the button. If the story stayed at “This animal is smart enough to know that it won’t get hit if it stays in the little white lines” then I probably wouldn’t have clocked it. Still, what a horrible, dishonest thing to do.

• Nangijala@feddit.dk ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Was about to comment that if this story was true and not all made up, it’d be really funny.

  However my bullshit meter was also blaring because of how many youtube shorts nowadays are about animals acting like humans and people just eat it up without questioning it.
