I have up-voted the article, but now I think that the photo is AI. Somebody please tell me I didn’t just up-vote AI. I will not support any AI image knowingly, Gaia bless my fleeting incarnation of self-awareness.

Not AI. It’s a stock photo, which often look like AI because they’re inherently pretty lifeless and make up a lot of generative AI’s training material.

Setting aside the fact there’s no evidence of AI in this image in a vacuum, here’s the album, where you can see consistency between shots. And the image is credited to early 2016.

While Yahoo! Finance has original articles (and I don’t know what you have against them, being so vague about it), this isn’t one of them. This is an article from the newsletter of Benzinga, an investment platform. By and large, Yahoo! News and Yahoo! Finance are news aggregators with a minority of their content being first-party.
