A common shortcut that creators use is to collect pictures from Google Image Search and use them as a background. These images are usually run through a filter (almost always some type of blur) on Photoshop, either to lessen focus or to make the image more congruent with the art style. This is often utilized for complex designs (book and video game covers are common examples), or done for intentional stylistic choices, but can be seen as a sign of laziness if the artist comes to depend on it. In some cases, the artist is lazy enough that he picks the first fitting image from the first results page, thus allowing bored fans to guess their search query and find the original images easily. Laziness and ignorance can also get authors in much more serious trouble — for some reason, people tend to think that anything found via GIS is fair game, when of course it's still all covered by copyright law. Note that GIS Syndrome isn't limited to Google Images as lazy creators also use Bing Image Search and DuckDuckGo Image search. No relation to Geographic Information Systems, which aren't used by artists nearly as much, unless artists want to create their own real-world modern-day maps. Not to be confused with a Photo Comic, which uses photographs as the art instead of an embellishment. See also Real-Place Background. Contrast Matte Shot, where real people stand in front of a painted background. Compare Traced Artwork, when a creator copies existing art by hand. For when this intentionally used as a stylistic choice, see Medium Blending. |

The kaiju collectible card series, Pachimon, have half of them being made using this trope, by painting kaiju artwork on top of existing pictures, especially notable in the series' "World Tour" collection. One of those cards is simply a pair of monsters painted on Mount Rushmore, while another overlaps with Unusually Uninteresting Sight by pasting the painted image of a rampaging monster across a postcard depicting London, so Londoners are simply unfazed at the sight of a fifty-foot monster in the streets. | |

MS Paint Adventures uses black-and-white (usually pixellated) photos for most background objects. It's used for comic effect since the photo detail contrasts so highly with the stickfigure-esque characters. Sometimes, mostly with landscape from Homestuck Act Four onward, pictures are recolored to match colors. In a few cases this ends up looking odd, to say the least. Also, there's a tendency for such images to be the underlay for additional background illustrations, for example the Land of Wind and Shade (which draws certain features like rivers and mushrooms on top of pictures of landscapes). And of course, much as you'd expect, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff occasionally does this for Stylistic Suck purposes, often picking the most severely watermarked image possible. |

The original release of RE: Alistair had real photographs for backgrounds; subsequent releases had them replaced by drawn images. Many low-budget or freeware Visual Novels use stock backgrounds, actually, probably because actually drawing one would take time and resources the artists don't have. |

Happens during an event in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver where you have to take Arceus—basically the verse's equivalent to God—to a certain room and he proceeds to recreate the universe from scratch to give you an egg containing one of the cover legendaries for the other Gen IV games. This process is illustrated starting with stock images of space and stars and how the Earth may have looked, up to single-celled organisms and finally civilizations by showing overhead satellite shots or skylines of big cities. As one YouTube commenter put it: "Arceus used Google Image Search!" Likely the cause of a fan-made map of the world from serebii.net ending up on the wall of a house in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Hilariously, the devs tried to disguise the fact by flipping the pic horizontally. |

Not quite fitting the trope, since it's not an image, but after a Kazakh athlete won a gold medal at a sporting contest in the Middle East, the organizers played the Borat version of her country's national anthem rather than the real one. They blamed a too-cursory Internet search. Also in a similar vein, "Glory to Hong Kong", the song of the 2019 Hong Kong pro-democracy protests was played to introduce the Hong Kong team at the 2022 Rugby Sevens in South Korea instead of "March of the Volunteers", China's national anthem. They also blamed a too-cursory internet search. |

One scene featuring a character traveling outside even uses a Google Maps satellite street map from a real place as the backdrop. | |
