What the UK Would Look Like, if Designed to Prioritize Cars

"Digital creative" Kyle Branchesi, a former MIT researcher who plays with both photography and AI in his spare time, created this stark series of images of the UK:

"Amidst a political landscape where the 'war on motorists' is wielded as a populist tool, this series captures a future where this rhetoric has prevailed. The transformation of UK landmarks like Stonehenge into vast vehicular realms underscores the absurdity and danger of prioritizing short-term political gains over sustainable urban planning. These images mirror the contentious debates in the UK, challenging the narrative that prioritizes car ownership at the expense of public health and environmental sustainability."

In that last one, look closely at the cars. It's wild to see what AI comes up with.

Branchesi's handle for his creative work is Scalefulness, and you can see more of his stuff here.

In the city where I live now people so in love with cars and be car dependent (tho partially it is about climate) that I imagine ideal city streets would be achieved when every 2nd building is car parking inside. So convenient. I like that article pretty much showing this joke

Oh, so it's just a bunch of random AI generated images instead of an article. No thanks.
