There have never been as many fake images online as there are currently. Experts warn people that "AI slop" is only going to become a bigger problem in the coming years. Yet, sources suggest that there are already more than 15 billion AI-generated images online.
It's not surprising, then, that people online are starting to doubt the authenticity of images. It can make picking your next travel destination a bit tricky. This summer, an elderly couple were scammed with an AI-generated video of the non-existent cable car ride in Malaysia, Kuak Skyride.
But some destinations may look or sound too good to be true, yet are 100% real. In one thread online, folks have been sharing the most beautiful places in their homelands that people often mistake for AI slop. When one netizen asked, "What place in your country could be mistaken for having been created by AI, even though it really exists?" locals had many answers.
From the Giant's Causeway in Ireland to the perfectly shaped city of Neuf-Brisach in France, see which places around the world might be so beautiful that some folks mistake them for a scam.

McDermott’s Castle in Roscommon. It's a ruined castle on a small island in the middle of a lake.

My parents are adamant that photos of the Giant’s Causeway are either AI or that it’s man-made.
#8
Newgrange. Older than the pyramids.
#10
I really didn't believe this spot by Mont St Michel was real. But I found the spot, and the twisty river formation does exist, but it was dried out and supposedly rarely seen as above with the river beds filled in.
#12
Nazaré giant waves are absolutely colossal and you'd think most photos are AI if you don't see videos or see it yourself.
#13
Pravčická brána (Czech Republic)
It's really beautiful there, unfortunately huge part of the national park is missing trees, since few years ago, there was a huge forest fire. (And then last year and I think this year again).
Český Ráj (czech paradise) is another beautiful place, full of sandstone formations, place worth to visit.

The Tunnel of Love railway in Kleman. It looks unreal in all the greens but it’s even more magical in autumn when leaves start to turn.
#17
Travertens of Pamukkale. They aren’t ice and they are like this in Summer
#18
Definitely looks like the AI got confused somewhere...
#20
Chiremba balancing rocks.
#21
The Flatirons, in Boulder, Colorado. They're the inspiration for a lot of sci-fi landscapes.
#23
Burlinskoye Salt Lake in Altai region. People make it look way too saturated like this photo, but it does exist, trains included

Mind boggled that someone would build (hopefully rust free) steel tracks on wood in saltwater 🤯

Kummakivi, literally named "Strange rock" is a huge rock balancing on top of another. It's from ice age when ice was moving a lot of rocks around.
Cannot be moved by hand even though looks like it might fall over any minute.
#25
Gullholmen - swedish west coast. Looks like AI might have gone a bit crazy with the amount of houses on this tiny island right at the edge of nature.
#29
Scottish heather.
#31
Badwater Basin, Death Valley. You have to walk out about 2 miles to see it like this.
Pro tip: Bring water. 😄.

The whole (and huge) chapel made of human bones in Sedlec near Kutná Hora, Bohemia.
The bones in the Sedlec Ossuary come largely from the 13th–15th centuries, when the local cemetery became very... popular burial ground within Central Europe because the abbot of the Sedlec monastery scattered holy soil brought from Jerusalem across the graveyard. The Black Death and later the Hussite Wars overwhelmed the site with tens of thousands of bodies.
And if you played *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, well… you know it’s basically all your fault.
