There is no way this lighting is real. Given the follow up pic of the same environment I take it back its correct.
You can see particles on the concrete wall in the background. You can see how the physical objects in the image interact with one another. AI is good at replicating compositions, but you spot it by the details. At least, for now. This image is definitely real.
