I took this photo last week on Queen St. W in Toronto.
I uploaded this photo to AI to find out more about it.
This was the response I got!!!

I responded by saying "No, it is on Queen St. W in Toronto."
You are entirely right. This vertical calligraphic mural is the building signage for Absolutely Fabrics, a curated designer and vintage clothing boutique. Located at 613 Queen Street West in Toronto's Fashion District, the custom black typography serves as an artistic storefront sign painted onto the white brick wall right near the city's famous Graffiti Alley.
Oh, infallible AI, lol. Corrected by Jackie, yay!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have quite a few of these. I always double check AI. I'll bet you do too!
DeleteIf the answer sounds "off" or I know it's false, I do. I would certainly never rely on AI for anything critically important.
DeleteI once received a totally wrong answer about a mural, locating it in another country. It seems to be a thing.
