Here we go. I hope the Schumacher's get a BIG settlement. This needs to be nipped in the bud.

if it was the one I saw, before it was taken down, it was a pale green beetle with small windows but late beetle features in line with brazilian cars. don't think AI was involved...

It was a bright green bug with parts from the mid 60's to late 70's but lacking anywhere to refill the tank! I emailed the seller and told him he was gonna piss off the wrong people. It had been flagged many times

Sure that will work.  Criminals always respect the law. That's why they have no guns, either.

...and a photographer submitted an AI photo to a competition - and won! he did it to prove a point though.

Although the proportions are a bit off on that^ Beetle, I think it looks pretty cool.

I have to admit it has a good eye for colour and fantastic rendering but it's interesting how it obviously doesn't understand what is being depicted.

I think I like your second set of examples even better.
So long design and mechanical engineers  |
