    Nope, unless they had AI back in May 2000.

    Whatever it is would be regarded as absurd today and you'd be called a troll for even suggesting it.

    2000 version: "You're hurting the gay rights movement by suggesting they're a slippery slope to trannies in the ladies room."

    A lot of people are using upscaling and way too many phone filters to update old photos.

    Someone gave me a t-shirt of a movie poster from the '80's. I guess they started with a web search results image of the poster and upscaled it so much that the final result ended up looking like first gen AI slop.
