I know it's probably photoshop but I want to believe I'm living amongst people that see what's going on.

Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Intense over-sharpening of edges that goes beyond just blurring previously large pixels. The bright-to-dark-to-midtone transitions being absolutely fucked is most noticeable around text shadows that go against the sun shadow direction, and is also particularly noticeable in the glare from the reflected headlights in the bottom-right quadrant of the background in addition to the fake content between the real border of the light pole and the second interpolated border of the light pole on both edges. The whole thing screams to me that there was an out-of-focus background that was intentional bokeh that a subsequent clueless AI tried to bring detail back in.
Edit: if you’re trying to learn how to spot these kinds of artifacts, a recent slap-you-in-the-face example is the “Deep Learning Multi Frame Generation” fraud that NVIDIA is committing. The artifact examples from this article/video make it particularly obvious.
That's a lot of words to show you're overly-suspicious of AI and will attribute normal phone camera artifacting to it
Phone cameras just do that now by default, you know. I have to specifically turn my phone's enhancement features off to not get overly-sharp photos and I've had to show multiple people how to do so when they noticed their phones doing it
I can't find a shadow that goes against sun direction, nor does "text shadows" make any sense
Nothing in that image looks like something that isn't way more easily explained by a phone cameras default sharpening filter applying to a picture a punk took after putting their sticker up high on a pole
