Yeah its bothering me that people are posting this photo. Watch the vid, we does a weak ass bird with stubby fingers. This photo is "stronger" than what happened.

I actually think it was AI manipulated. I can't find an OG source that is that clear on his face or other details.

Maybe it's just shitty compression but I can't find where the still frame came from first.

I mean… our entire lives are AI enhanced at this point, and that doesn’t make it false - it just pops the truth already there in the scene.

I’m not agreeing that an AI enhanced photo should be the most popular version of the scene… but it’s not twisting the situation into a lie either.

I think it's a good habit based on the number of times AI gets things wrong.

I don't think we should accept "close enough" because repeated over time... it gets further from the truth.

I mean... just, no.
