The Mona Lisa, a superb forgery and a high quality print. Though they're identical, the original is worth more than the others because we attach value to authenticity and originality, not just to a superficial surface-aesthetic. Ai images are never authentic nor original, hence they have zero value.

Does anyone think this is anything other than narrow self-interest?

Carnforth Station

This station doesn't always feature bare-knuckle gladiatorial games but turn up on a random Tuesday and you might be lucky.

(Be careful around trains.)

Are you sure this is real art? Looks suspiciously like ai.

I saw this in person for the first time earlier this year (I'm 49). It's an incredible sight. I actually welled up a little.

Drawing Mannequin

Pen on paper initially, then scanned in and vectorised on Adobe Illustrator.
