How do you know that's not legit art? Like, seriously, are you assuming or is there some proof or evidence?

The human brain is very good at recognizing patterns and my pattern recognizing brain is telling me it's AI lol

I'm leaning toward not. Yeah, it's the type of thing people use AI for. But notice that the grid lines over the lights are actually even. AI art, even good AI art, almost universally introduces botched patterns, especially at that level of detail. No dead giveaways on the racoon either. Lights in the correct order.

when was the last time you looked at an AI image?

Look at the rest of the screen. Those "grid lines" are the moiré patterns you get when taking a picture of the screen, not part of the image. It also uses that classic marker font that AI loves to use on every flyer and graphic ever. Also a stoplight coming out of the ground where all of the lights are on? It's supposed to signify stop and read, but it doesn't even signal a stop. I feel confident it's AI.

That's because the "grid" you're talking about isn't part of the image, it's physically part of the display that OP took a picture of...

It's the Moire Pattern created by the pixels in the phone's camera overlapping with the pixels in the display.
