It doesn’t seem possible that anyone could think that photo was real, especially when the subject of AI was already floating around. Looking at it made my brain hurt.

Does it matter, I didn't think the 'photo' was very good anyway even if it was real
whatever that is meant to mean.

Now AI can create what people call art, it's a new problem.
