The street signs have misspellings, pedestrian signs with too many legs. Pavers that don't quite look right.

Here is a street where street vendors sell extra plastic fingers and earlobes. A place where things are deliberately "off", in a typical generative AI way.

Take a selfie, and bask in the confusion as people try to work out what's going on.

AI street doesn't need to welcome you - it already knows you're there [+]

There is scope for adding this to existing tourist destinations. For example you could set up a stall selling postcards or soft drinks or something at the base of the Eiffel Tower but make it look like the kind of thing that would be generated by AI. Then when people take photos nearby and later show these to their friends, saying "Look! We went to the Eiffel Tower!", their friends will scoff and not believe them.

Noted, a1. But then it'll soon be "retro" like the VHS effect from the 80s

[+] “Remember the days when the president had seven fingers on his right hand and the Leaning Tower of Pisa sat at the end of the Champs Elysees? Your car had 7 doors and Aunt Bee wore gorilla coveralls?”

“Relive the golden early days of AI that we’ve all forgotten. It’s only been 3 years but seems such a long time ago. The time when you could actually not tell what was going on? Bring back the mystery of doubt, disbelief, and certainty that you will not be gulled by an amateur, sadly infant AI. That’s all gone now. (You voted for a 9-volt battery in the last election, remember?)”
