Telltales: floor too shiny, machines on the sides dont make sense, inconsistencies in piping in the ceiling, random floating bits on the top right, a few big shadows that dont match the windows instead of many smaller ones
That’s how they make paper and a lot of other flat goods like tape. The manufacturer makes these gigantic rolls then there’s this entire industry called converting where a company, a converter, takes it and process it down into a finished product. They may add adhesives, lamination or printing to it during the process.
You can go to a store and buy 3M tape but 3M doesn’t actually make it like that. They make a 12ft wide, 10,000 ft roll that someone buys and forklifts into a machine that cuts it into a bunch of smaller rolls that you can buy
Most certainly ai generated, many things in the picture don’t make much sense when looked at in detail. First of all, who would leave that absolute unit of a roll in the middle of the factory? With an axle inside?
As you’ve been proven wrong, this is a good time to point out that accuracy rates of humans identifying AI pics is ~50%, or no better than guesswork. Keep that in mind the next time you declare something AI. YOU might be the reason an artist quits their passion, not AI
Edit: Since I see how my statement might be misconstrued. I’m aware this particular pic is AI gen. I’m referring to OP’s statement about the axle being nonsense, which somebody else showed is standard practice. And that doesn’t really take away from my main point.
OK, based on the comments, it’s AI.
This one isn’t. A sheet of paper from mythbusters.
Looks a lot larger than A1 tbh
wasn’t that foil?
No, that’s from trying to fold paper more than 7 times.
You might be thinking of the lead foil for the lead balloon?

Wonky floor hole shape is what made me certain, didn’t look too close at first and thought it was photoshopped.
This image… I don’t know if it is AI or it isn’t… but it certainly feels like AI…

Edit: it is AI generated, completely missed the genAI tag on the Adobe Stock website, and [4] is not a ton like I thought, it’s 307kg
It’s listed on Adobe Stock photos[1]
I did find other similar photos[2][3] so it looks like it’s an actual thing that exists. Actually found a listing for a 1 metric ton roll of it[4].

[2] is ai generated or so it says. [4] is real but not as big, and not quite a ton, it says ‘307kg’.
