Singapore is so eye-catching, it would seem, that people can’t tell if pictures of it are real or not.
In a Singapore Tourism Board study, 60 per cent of people shown a striking image (below) of the Gardens by the Bay structures, home to 1.5million plants, believed the image was created by AI, despite this being a real image taken in Singapore.
Out of those polled, almost half (41 per cent) admitted to struggling to tell the difference between real and AI images.
The tourism board described Gardens by the Bay as one of several 'unreal and fascinating experiences in Singapore'.
It said: ‘The Gardens’ iconic structures are architectural marvels that reimagine nature with artistic finesse.

The Henderson Waves pedestrian bridge also proved to be a reality-defying Singapore structure. In the study, Brits also struggled to tell if a picture of it was AI-generated
‘Designed with sustainability in mind, the Gardens feature two huge futuristic structures - Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest cooled conservatories - which use cutting-edge technologies for better energy efficiency.
‘Visitors can walk amongst the iconic Supertrees that rise up to 50 metres above ground and come alive with an exhilarating light and musical show at night.’
The Henderson Waves pedestrian bridge also proved to be a reality-defying Singapore structure.
In the study, Brits also struggled to tell if a picture of it was AI-generated.
It’s the highest pedestrian bridge in the country and has a ‘fantastical design’ that provides ‘breathtaking views of the nearby marina and vast greenery’, the tourism board said.
Parkroyal Collection Pickering hotel - a cross between a hotel and a vertical garden - also confused Brits in the AI quiz, along with the futuristic skyscrapers of Keppel Bay.
The tourism board also cited Singapore’s Changi Airport and its 40-metre-high waterfall as another potential reality bender.
