Your version was posted within 3 minutes of this post someone linked in the comments of the Reddit version. So yeah, all credibility lost as far as I'm concerned.

What I don't get is why, if this is some sort of coordinated campaign, you wouldn't just generate entirely new images, rather than AI-daydream variants of the exact same one, which makes it obvious they're manipulated.
