It's not necessarily doctored. It can be a problem with the screenshot.

    It absolutely can. Screenshots aren't always perfect copies; there are often small imperfections introduced during conversion, and this can result in a slightly different font.

    Woah... I'm genuinely concerned for you. What are you talking about? A screenshot should be a 1:1 pixel perfect match to the screen. It's a literal dump of the pixels on your monitor, that's what happens when you Print Screen on your keyboard. Even screenshots on Android are full size captures of the entire screen - even the pixels obscured by front camera cutouts. I know this because I've taken screenshots from my phone and put them in Paint.NET, the resolution of the image is identical to the resolution of the phone, all text is of identical fonts (whatever the HTML/CSS of the page says it should be).

    Unless you're assuming AI post-processing is messing with images, but that's a much bigger and separate concern. Screenshots can be manipulated, and that means you can be manipulated.

    Yes algorithms modify your screenshots, as they modifie your photos; and they begun to do that before ChatGPT. Then you save your screenshot; it's generally in PNG which is not a bad format, but still it's a compressed format which can be lossless, but generally isn't as it is applied. Then you crop your screenshot using a shitty android app, which will reduce again the quality.

    If you didn't observe that, I'm concerned for you and your lack of observation.
