After a few refreshes, I’ve noticed a lot of seemingly impossible rivers in coastal cities, of all things. They’ll end in beaches or just come down out of the mountains straight into a neighborhood “delta”.

It’s the little details that give it away. For example, when you zoom in you see flocks of birds.

They are adversarial networks; like the Gans of New York.

Would you like to see my weird GAN text-to-image experimentation? If so, hit the triangle.
This is using a feature I suggested for Visions of Chaos that uses a (really tedious) method of specifying changes in direction, rotation and learning rate, plus automated text input changes. Here’s a few example lines of the dozens used in this - the numbers represent starting and ending values for the above parameters:

That’s perfectly caught Dublin, bravo.

For Dublin you need to clearly show that the commercial district was built atop an original ancient settlement of enormous archeological value. I guess that goes for a lot of Eurpoean cities though.
