If you search “uconn struggle bus” you will find the original image. This looks like an AI recreation of that.

It cropped out the oakleak and added a second “U” but the majority of the image is faithfully simulated

    except for the pedestrian crossing morphing into the lane and the horrible airbrushing of everything, and straightening the tires so it doesn't look like it's turning properly

    the original image of the University of Connecticut Struggle Bus without the AI upscale attempt

    What upsets me is that somebody couldn't even bother to put in the minimum effort to use an image editor to add a little text or even an online Meme maker...

    So the AI is used to bastardize the source image due to this laziness...
