    So that is not AI - most likely this image was fucked up by some AI-upscaling software. Here’s a less edited version.

    And a different angle.

    That’s the ‘Magdeburg Unicorn’ found in the Museum of Natural Science in Magdeburg (I think that’s an OK translation? “Museum für Naturkunde”). It’s a woolly rhino fossil and is described as ‘the worst fossil reconstruction in history’. Remember this image next time you feel bad about yourself.

      Oh, I knew this was a real exhibit so it didn’t even occur to me that AI might be to blame for the weird image artifacts! I tend to assume bad cameras.

        Yea I also assumed it was just shot on a budget phone that compensates its sub-par cameras by way overprocessing the photo, since I used those my whole life LOL
