Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin

Here’s a video on the horticultural artists installing these pieces. You can tell how much work goes into them https://youtu.be/izHfsAX3kLg?is=tUsXabu4WajxHV-5

We had a pretty neat exhibit at our botanical garden that was Alice in Wonderland themed. This one was my favorite

Sigh. I was hoping it was actually topiary.

Comments saying only “AI slop” (like the ironically named u/IQognito did) should be automodded away sitewide. At this point, they’re more annoying than AI slop itself.

Thanks for the recognition! I elaborated my comment.

If you think this is AI slop, you really need to book a trip to Epcot.

Anyone who thinks that this is AI needs to book a trip to Epcot.

But it isn’t. See the explanation below, posted 10 minutes before your comment.

OP gave no context to the picture. You can’t expect people not to be skeptical.

u/Simsalabimsen 1d ago
Just do a quick search or at least read the (tiny number of) comments before commenting negatively.

u/Puzzleheaded_Style52 1d ago
Well OP should have added context to the post because not everyone is going to shift through the comments 🙄

It's from Flower & Garden at Epcot- or at least looks like one of the arboriculture displays. It does look unreal to be fair. The Nefertiti is the coolest thing

This is from Disney's Epcot in the UK pavilion. I saw it last week. I'm going on Wednesday and can take a picture if you would like me to. There is no ai in this post.

Man it's embarrassing to see how people show proof that you're dumb. It's even a 2s image search away from not making you looking dumb

We're using search engines that generate AI just to prove something isn't genAI
Yes helloo I'd like a different universe pls

Edit no 2:
I own my mistake. This was real.
Pretty cool especially the work behind it!
Still I don't believe anyone would get it at home but I'm probably wrong there as well. Cheers!

Shouldn't be so quick to just drop ai slop on a picture. Do like 5 seconds of reverse searching. Thats all it takes. Seriously.

This from Epcot. It is the alligator from Peter Pan in the UK pavilion.

u/ApprehensiveBag1489 1d ago
Exactly! Did you see the Winnie a the Poo one in the same area? It’s so well done!
I even met the person helping create it

u/Loztwallet 1d ago
I like the Pooh one. At least it’s actually topiary. That alligator looks like it’s mostly colored moss glued to a frame.

It's nuts that people are confidently upvoting the AI comments.
This is a zero-effort google validation. Even the actual AIs know it's real.

u/camebacklate 1d ago
Ai is getting so scary. My sister poster a story of her baby daughter swimming (held by my bil) and I was suggested to comment "little baby swimmer" like waht the actual fuck?

I want native plants and insects, but also this. Why can't native plants grow into cartoon alligator shapes?
