      Nah, I just wasn’t looking close enough, it’s just a simple paste of one image on top of another from the same angle. If you follow the line where the truck ends upwards, you can see a similar line on the roof of the building and the tree in the background doesn’t quite line up perfectly (but it’s close enough that our brains assume it’s fine).

      That might have even been done in paint rather than gimp or ps.

        There is some line on the roof, but the roof still strangely lines up. The tree in the background nor the sky have a visible line.

        Furthermore the text on the tire is garbled, and the whole image has this “covered in vaseline” feeling to it.

          You’re right about the sky, though I think the tree does have a line but the blur hides it (I can see it when I include the line in the roof but not when I block it). I’d say that it is more sophisticated than paint, but that an image editor was used to take the cloud from only one of the images.

          I disagree that the tire text is garbled. https://www.bfgoodrich.ca/en/auto/garage/articles/making-of-the-ko3-tire here’s a picture of a similar tire with the same text. AI might have been used for some of the editing of that transition, but I don’t think the source images were genAI.
