While I have seen clouds like this (looks like blankets or pillows)
I suspect this is a generated or at the very least AI enhanced photo.
Look at the back of the car, and the lines on the road are not quite correct either. Also it chose to clone the same color car, which could or could not have happened.
Edit: After looking again with less tired eyes, the back of the car is just poorly cloned to hide the plate, probably by “hand”. Something about the road texture still feels filtered (possibly an artificial zoom mentioned below). It could be a really big lens in a nice DSLR, but now that AI has ruined my ability to trust my eyes, I hate that I can’t be sure.
All i see is that the plates on the closest car being removed
Looks like a rubber stamp tool was used to remove the plate. Nothing suggests ai to me.
Yeah, this all looks to me like the AI zoom, which is just terrible, we've sacrificed reality for ... something.
The fact that i don't really know, makes me angrier than just blatant AI posts. There is a higher resulution photo of it, so i assume it's real.
I think this might be real. Higher res version here:
