Nano Banana-processed Glenkerry
I don't like AI art - it's soulless, built on stolen art and consumes horrendous amounts of energy and water

Here's what MS Copilot 3d made of Glenkerry House
The photo used is at the end of the vid, from high up Balfron Tower
It's clearly got issues (how many chimneys?!) but not too bad
It's not just a video, but a downloadable, editable 3d model
