Not sure why it’s being claimed as AI. Nothing there looks off to me, and the background matches reality.
Google StreetView
The hand holding up the sign?
The hand actually looks normal. That’s the thumb on the front and the fingers would be behind it.
The only thing that actually looks off are the marks on the ground. It actually looks like they say “HI”.
Not saying it’s not AI, but I don’t see an obvious tell like others are saying. Maybe just her sign was edited? Even then, it’s detailed in a way AI isn’t. There’s creases in the writing where the cardboard would fold. I think this one is unfortunately real.
The hand strikes me as odd. I'm also not entirely sure if it's actually able to bend that far comfortably while holding a sign. But the picture is also blurry around her hand. So it's hard to make out and I could be wrong. It feels like something is off though, which is a feeling I rarely get with pictures unless they're deliberately trying some optical illusion or are obviously fabricated.
She's quite small. It looks like the door is 2-3x her height. It could just be a really tall door I guess .
Edit: looked at the picture again and it feels like she'd be the height of the doorknob if she was standing in front of it.
IMO it looks like the camera is up higher, making her look shorter. The hand looks right to me. I concur with this not being Ai (unfortunately).
I’m not a great artist, especially on my phone, but here’s a quick reference. Hold your hand up like this and see that it works.
Edit to say I thought it looked weird too at first.
The letters AI right behind her?
"Hi"
