It’s not the same. Likely this is the very image that was fed into the AI, and the printed result sold online.
Given that these sell online, all over the place already, what would be the point? I doubt there is copyright, so it seems strange.
Then again what would be the point of OCR either. Back in the day we had generational degradation from copying over and over again, but this does look different.
Either way: meh. AI or not. Its throw away clipart.

Fair enough, in which case, it could be unintentional, the result of using a generative model to “upscale” it for printing, rather than a deterministic upscaler
