    Fucked up they wouldn't give them credit with a proper picture.

    Definitely machine generated because they couldn't be assed to even look for the actual photo. The tool, the lab, nothing makes sense there, it's all fake.

    I suspect it's not because the article writers couldn't find the picture but because of the legalities of just taking an image from another source.

    This is also why e.g. Wikipedia is full of old, or crappy celebrity pictures - Wikipedia requires an open license for the photos they host, but most celebrity photos aren't licensed as such.

    I simply can't comprehend people who's first thought, even before using something that already exists, is to turn to llms and image gens for a worse result. It's so fucking stupid.

    It's a bot, it's probably generating images from articles as soon as they publish. Probably so reddit can pump engagement stats for the board.

    Still stupid. If it can scrape the article, it can scrape the photos.

    Such an obviously AI generated photo, too.
