    damn, the only improvement i’d suggest are some of the side characters in the piece (like bibi and melanoma) this is really, really offensive and poignant. i love it.

      It’s just a regular Photoshop blend of a newsworthy photograph over a particularly newsworthy AI generated image. There’s no net increase in AI here in this post.

        It’s not photoshop it’s slop. Just admit that you’re okay consuming slop, downvote me and move on to your next slop meal. No need to pretend.

          It’s not photoshop it’s slop.

          Which part? The entire image, with the exception of the patient, is just the AI image Trump posted last week. The patient’s face is just the photograph of that Israeli settler from the cover of some magazine.

          Combining two images with Photoshop is a pretty normal way to use Photoshop. Complaining that a particular source image is AI ignores the actual reason why it was posted, and why there was an editorial reason to want to post an otherwise faithful copy of the original, modified in a specific way.

            “Hey clanker, replace the face of the man in the bed in the first photo with the face of the man in the second photo”

            There, I photoshopped it.

            Do you really not see this is an AI replacement or are you playing dumb?

            It’s slop on top of slop, couldn’t get any more sloppy.

    I’ve seen the photo, so I know it’s real, but I can’t get over how much the guy looks like a racist caricature came to life.

      Well, that’s because it’s not the original:

      While we don’t know what the intent was behind the alteration, it probably is a racist caricature

        The guy depicted is from an Italian magazine cover about Israeli settlers. Granted, now that I see them together, the parody here is clearly exaggerated, but the guy himself still looks caricature-esque, too.
