Is there some hint that this is AI?
There are boats that have sunk in shallow water which look like this. It's not an actively sinking boat, so people will go take a picture on it.
Look at the left woman’s chest. There’s also something weird in the water at the front right.
Happy to be proven wrong, but it looks off to me
That is a strange-looking bikini top.
For me, the degradation of the edge of the boat being concentrated at the waterline where floating stuff might strike it is sort of hinting that at least the boat is real. I just don't imagine AI having that many examples of what relatively new-looking partially sunk boats look like. Maybe I'm wrong about that, though.
I had figured that you thought it was AI because these ladies seem so calm and are posing for a photo on a boat that is actively sinking. But like I said, I don't think the boat is actively sinking. If it's about the bikini top, then I'll have to defer, as my knowledge about ladies' swimwear is not particularly comprehensive.
