That’s not a handout photo from Midjourney, so it’s entirely possible that with so many problems, it was used intentionally to convey the state of the art in a way words can’t on this topic.

I’ve definitely engaged in some editorial shenanigans when I knew a source was full of shit but didn’t have the option of spiking. I’ve also intentionally run such pieces with a recast angle subtly calling out the bullshit.
