Frustrating that I can’t tell. Typically if something is absurd with proper proportion, it’s AI, but in this case, it’s not even that expensive or hard to pull off. Any other telltale signs? Lighting? Inconsistent stuff?
California isn’t a single steak. Where the top third bends to the north you can see a black line of shadow where the two steaks split. Other states are constructed of multiple steaks as well. Texas looks to be three or maybe four. Louisiana has two split between north and south, New Mexico is two striploins pressed together, etc.

Has to be. There’s no way you bend a steak as cleanly as that Cali.

This was the first clue for me too. The way the strip of fat on California bends with the border of the state looks impossible.
Unless it’s actually two pieces of meat… Now I kind of maybe see a thin line where it bends
