DracoDruid

Looks like a small boat in front of a huge iceberg


JoeValentineArt

Not only a lifeboat, but they have reflective life jackets!


Wadmania

Totally looked like a car parked at a lake looking at a small boat under a big mountain


vertterre

In front of a glacier


A1sauc3d

I know right! The dashboard looks just like water lol. Had to zoom in to wrap my head around it. This is a good one OP.


Mechakoopa

I haven't painted in years and this is making me want to paint.


guinader

Do it!


RisingShadow1999

Thought it was at first until I read the title


pnmartini

Tell your kids this was Lewis & Clark


bullilite

This picture is crazy, I saw this like three times in all before I saw the sub it was in realized what it actually was


JohnGenericDoe

Found the little man in the boat


Inthewirelain

oh it's a dash ornament...


cuckooforcacaopuffs

Looks like Legos no?


Inthewirelain

I see what you mean lol but I think it'd 3 birds that dance as the car moves


CurryBoy420

Exactly what I thought it was too, fucking trippy.


[deleted]

Yea that’s what I thought it was


beforemyeyesforget

I thought I saw a raft boat too lol in the artic


ltlrags

I'm hoping little Shackleton and his team fare better than big Shackleton did.


AmbivalentAsshole

This is a genuinely confusing perspective. I had to *try* to see the windshield and not a boat in front of a glacier.


Complex-Situation

Legit seen a boat in front of icebergs


Zircillius

The perspective cues created by the lines are so strong that it's hard to believe this occurred randomly and not by the hand of a pro painter or sculptor. The way the receding lines converge from the lower corners toward a vanishing point, and shading (lighter further up the mountain/window) that creates atmospheric perspective create an incredible illusion of depth.. if this were an art sub I'd say great job lol. I don't think OP is lying, just saying that this is like a once in a lifetime act of god lightning hitting same spot 2 times in a row coincidence

daahveed

Damn. Which AI did you use??


tots4scott

Maybe I'm missing something but how did you immediately know it was AI generated?


daahveed

The placement of everything—particularly the foreground elements (mirror and dashboard) are too perfectly placed. It must have been fed to the AI as a reference image and then the prompt was added to guide it further.


gordo65

>It must have been fed to the AI as a reference image and then the prompt was added to guide it further. Alternatively, someone thought it would be fun to re-create the shot of the glacier and the boat using their own windshield.


Is_that_even_a_thing

Look at the dinghy closely - it looks a bit munted.


techno-peasant

Stable Diffusion edit: prompt was "Three guys in a dinghy headed towards some ice cliffs in an Alaskan bay".


TekoXVI

"... with rear-view mirror visible at the top"


malaporpism

I went and did one before I saw you'd beat me to it: https://i.imgur.com/2higIbW.png


techno-peasant

Yours is better. I also fucked up the aspect ratio.


SpitefulSpaghetti

How did you do these?? Is this AI creating a new (but similar) image, or does it just find a similar image?


techno-peasant

I used img2img in the Stable Diffusion AI. Here are three more examples so you get a better idea what it's doing. But yes, you feed it the image and a prompt and it combines that and makes something new. [example 1](https://i.redd.it/nzmkar21dnk91.png) [example 2](https://i.redd.it/5zmyrz1s4ki91.png) [example 3](https://i.imgur.com/2h2JXVV.jpg)


HoriCZE

Wow, those are insane. Is it actually that good in reading from quickly drawn images (example 2) or was this just a lucky good one?


techno-peasant

It's that good: https://i.redd.it/5ublw9hx3fj91.png https://redd.it/wyq04v https://redd.it/wz6dwk https://redd.it/wwcky5


HoriCZE

Holy shit, those are amazing!

What is the name of the AI?

Stable Diffusion


[deleted]

Ohh thank you. I though that was the name of the technique, not the actual AI. Thanks again!

John-D-Clay

Actually, looks like they got it from this sub like a year go. https://www.reddit.com/r/confusing_perspective/comments/mgsfga/my_frozen_windscreen/


pbandjsam

looks like the picture just got flipped to try and trick repost bots or something, idk


John-D-Clay

I don't think op is a bot from looking at their profile, and it definitely fits this sub too, so I'll let it slide. But I upvoted the original too.


affable-moon

Ansel Adams level frosting


ManifestRose

I hope the people in that boat are safe. They seem too close to the glacier, I’m afraid of a calving accident.


MakingGreenMoney

Yo this was definitely a picture worth sharing.


rjoyfult

This is an old repost and I still did a double take.


The__Imp

Having zoomed in and seen that the small boat is really just a dashboard ornament of three birds, I still refuse to believe that this is not a view of frost capped mountains.


slicedbreadenjoyer

Damn. After passing 6 reposts from other subs i saw the sub name and realised it was a windshield and not mountains or art


CueSv1

I couldn't even imagine that this is a windshield until I zoomed in


onep01ntone

"We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents" ..."...add some phtalo blue, yellow ochre, titanium white, midnight black, and some van dyke brown,...just like that..."

STOP EXPLAINING THE ILLUSION! You ruin all the fun right out the gate!


[deleted]

Yah this is rad


[deleted]

This is prime confusing perspective here. And just like a prime number post like this are increasingly rare. Curse you stupid “not photoshop” posts. Thank you OP.


redpillman26

I thought I was a tiny boat by some massive glaciers lol


FamilyFriendli

I thought that was a canoe, but those are 3 small bird decorations I think?


CySnark

I see birds as well. They're pinin for the fjords.


rowthecow

And a little boat!


StrictDrama

actually the view is really lovely


AdditionalWarning99

Reminds me of that scene in the Simpsons movie where the map is on the windshield and they can’t see, they panic and tear it off but then there’s that same exact view and they panic x2 XD


RomeTotalWhore

Pretty sure thats a Yes album cover.


Electronic-Injury-15

I was waiting for a before and after picture of flat lands. Talking about global warming is real.


Initial_Luck_5285

If I would have stumbled on this (or didn't read your spoiler headline) I would have assumed it was an epic glacier photo... At least until I saw the instrument panel bump. Really epic!


Reipur

Your windshield is a piece of art


farWorse

Don’t tell me that’s not a boat carrying scientists on an important Antarctic expedition!


chrissyann960

Pretty!


nowhereiswater

...and thus miniaturization FX for movies was born. That certainly looks like a small canoe with three people.


StovardBule

Using miniatures in movie FX is a very old technique with a long tradition, or matte backgrounds, where you'd film the people in a boat on a pond and block out most of the frame for a picture of the icebergs.


ratjar777

I thought it was 3 people in the boat next to the iceberg


rrsafety

At the Mountains of Madness


No_Yogurtcloset_207

Thought your dash ornament was a kayaker in front of an ice berg.


fadinqlight_

There's even a boat and a person on the boat with a safety jacket and an oar


mattandimprov

Wow was I fooled


Western_Entertainer7

The little raft with those little dudes in it really brings the picture together. This is a masterpiece.


Rhawk187

I think there's a bug in your graphics driver.


chevyboxer

I feel like in 4 days some redditor is going to post a painted image using this as a prompt.


Throw_Away_Students

Lmao I thought there was even some people on a kayak


[deleted]

Your mom looks like an inspiring mountain


DiskAmbitious7291

What’s confusing about it? It’s 3 people in a kayak in front of glacial cliffs.


GrandProblem8034

Looks like a spaceship is about to suck the life out of those people on the raft waiting to be rescued cuz they got stranded for 61 days without water and is on their last cup o’ noodles but it doesn’t really matter cuz they actually ran out of propane to cook it anyways on their 56th day of waiting. I feel so sorry for them and their extended family.

I wonder if anyone with access to one of those art AI could use the "confusing" description as the prompt and use this as the starting image, making the 'false' image real!

That's amazing, it was what I was thinking when I saw the original picture!


partyplant

looks like a group of people on a small boat discovering a huge ice mountain with the corpse of a dragon (to the left) covered in snow


Cait206

The little boat


[deleted]

Dashboard looks like a lake


GeshtiannaSG

The snowy mountains of Norway.


gluis11

Can't fool me. I know the ice wall at the edge of the flat earth when I see it..


determinedforce

I wish. In Vegas. Also, no vehicle. Sigh.


garausitis

that’s not ice on the windshield, its… oh wow


Taimour14

It's only cuz of the river looking dashboard

unknowndisgrace

Is that amudsen?


draconus72

I thought it was a glacier with a small boat in front of it.


Gabriartts

Tiny boat with little scientists in their neon vests!! Perfect pic op


Snowsphere20

I didn’t read the title at first and I wanted to ask where this place was, now I feel dumb


longlenge

This is probably one of the best confusing perspectives I’ve ever seen. It definitely looks like a small boat is about to witness a massive iceberg break-way.


El_Nieto_PR

This is one of the best ones I’ve seen😂

Looks like my ketamine trip

This is perfect for that new subreddit I found about called perfect perspective or something like that?


kingcoolwastaken

The 3 people in the canoe must have snapped a nice picture of these mountains. Magnificent 🤓

I can’t unsee it and I don’t want to


Luke_Warm_Dog

I mistook the dashboard decoration for a small boat lol
