    Of course one could make a train engine in many forms. But the classical shape of the sort depicted in the drawing here is an old steam engine. It’s not a carriage with and engine in it. The big cylinder is the steam tank. And there was a fire under it that exhausted though the big chimney structure at the top front. The pressure from the steam pushed big pistons that connected to a set of large wheels mechanically connected with a big drive bar. You can create a new design with a modern combustion engine, or an electric motor - and these of course already exist - in fact it’s hard to find working old steam engine designs these days. But an electric or diesel engine car wouldn’t have the same classic shape of an old steam engine. They just look like a big box. So having this design but then putting the smoke coming out the back simple makes no sense.

    Of course a human can make such errors too, but in order to get the shape right, one would need to understand the function, or they’d copy another picture and get the details right, including the smoke stack.

    AI LLMs have a word base interface and they’re more susceptible to getting some things perfect and others nonsensical - like all those pictures that look right but when when you look at the details, like the number of finger, there are classic AI errors. That’s why this train is being tagged as AI. It’s not 100% for sure, but it looks that way if you understand the structure of that kind of train.
