fiberglass isn’t that bad to touch without gloves. I mean you should wear gloves, but agressive washing will make the itching go away.

Either asbestos hands or maybe AI generated category images?

The hands don’t seem off to me, especially if the model has done a lot of hand-on labor. The thing that sticks out to me as an indicator of this being not AI generated is the markings on the strand board to the right of the model’s belt; I don’t think an AI would take into consideration the product info marked onto raw material, let alone be able to place three squares of that info in line. If we could find actual raw strand board with those specific product markings, especially one sold by Home Depot, that would suggest it to be an actual photograph. Identifying the model in the photo and finding photos of him outside of Home Depot’s promo shots would also indicate it’s a photo. In either case of it being a photo or AI-gen, the marketing team still could have done some photoshopping as they see fit.

I think that he wore gloves, then they decided that they didn’t like it. So someone had to paint hands over the gloves and they didn’t try to re-scales them.

Yeah certainly AI generated

I’m suspecting it’s all Ai generated.

Some people just have big hands. Looks real to me, it’s obviously just a staged shot for promotion. Get a crew to build part of a fake attic (don’t need a whole attic for this), lay some insulation, have the talent (the guy in the photo) hold the insulation and look nice for photos. He leaves, they break it down and move on to the next project

Unless they made fake fibreglass installation just for this, his hands will be in permanent pain.

Not sure if you guys haven’t ever actually worked with fiberglass, or are trying to make it sound significantly worse than it is to prove a point…
No, you wash your hands after touching fiberglass, have a shower, and by the morning you won’t even realize your mistake. Itll be an itchy few hours, but its not gonna shred your hands, and it won’t cause permanent damage either.
Your lungs will be a bit worse for wear, and you should wear gloves/respirator, but for a couple minutes or photo op or even to move around your own attic you’ll be fine.

Life is permanent pain. Gloves and a mask has never helped me recover from life.

Lol, wtf? I’ve thrown around insulation so many times without gloves. No pain in my hands!

I touched a load of fiberglass over the years from DIY and helping friends out. It never bothered my hands at all, it didn’t even make me itchy.
