letters on the sign are legible, and she has the correct number of fingers, well if it's fake, it's better than any of the proof of life images.
I think the AI bullshit has made people so dumb they forgot we could edit photos in the past, without them. This is not a generated image I don't think, but I believe it is a Photoshop edit.
I don't know what his wife looks like or what the building she's walking out of is, so it wouldn't even take Photoshop to produce a convincing fake for me; just claim it's his wife and if I don't look it up I'd have no idea.
I know most people could name every Kardashian but I kinda doubt they're as familiar with Mrs. McConnell.
You're behind the times; that was an excellent way to identify AI photos in 2023.
