    I am not saying you specifically edited the image, but there may have been some brightening or color contrast adjustment at some point, which is what I meant when I said “enhanced”. At the very least there may be some image compression from the many times the same image has been shared since 2013… In which case I suppose that would be “dehanced”.

    Not that there anything wrong with editing or “enhancing” images. All professional photographers do it in one way or another, and it has been practiced since the early days of photography.

    I think it is important for people develop critical thinking skills in order to differentiate between A.I. and non-A.I. images. Far too often I have seen people believing the most absurd things are real. There is nothing wrong with people calling it out when they see something that doesn’t look or feel right— even if, as is the case here, we are wrong in our assumptions.

    This is how we learn.
