The picture is part of a mural in the family section in some swiss trains. It pictures persons and animals doing typical swiss things. I believe it was human illustrated though.

    That’s not a spare arm, it’s his 3rd leg. AI just added fingers to it. Still issues with the fingers.

    These images/illustrations are made by Konrad Beck, here is his website: https://www.konradbeck.ch/

    Me and my friends have found similar issues, in fact the same texture, just mirrored:

    Wikipedia commons has an image where you can see the “new” trains with the same artstyle in 2018 which makes it plausible it is indeed not AI.

    Me and my friends argued that he maybe photoshopped them around to make new illustrations instead of drawing new ones resulting in these errors.

      Makes sense now. He needs three arms because he’s got two turntables and a microphone to deal with.

      Once might be an error, but twice? I’m guessin it’s intentional. Like, why is this couple sitting underwater? The artist prolly put weird little things like that to make people look around for them. Whimsical, bc it’s the family section of the train.

    It would be funny if ai was trained on this guy’s art and that was the whole reason it likes to add limbs or fingers or whatever

    I miss the world of three years ago where this image would silently tell a mildly amusing story of corporate error, rather than being dismissed as AI slop.

    And you could imagine the chain of events. Marketing manager is like “Hey, I like it but can we get his arm around her?” and the artist goes off and does the change but forgets the other hand. Marketing manager loves it, nobody notices, poster gets printed, poster gets put up, and still nobody spots a thing until the public do.

    Of course, it’s still corporate error even if it’s AI. Someone should have spotted it and didn’t. Heck, there’s a chance even in 2026 this was good-old-fashioned human error all the way down, with no AI involved at all. But it doesn’t hit the same as it used to because AI has ruined our default assumptions.

      Yes it takes away the magic of those errors if you spot them. Like it used to be like “oh look, we’re all just humans after all!” and now its like “hmm, could be AI… why is this everywhere”

    Why do you believe its by a human? Does it have a signature in a corner?

    Can you ask the train company for the name of the artist?
