US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
Anyone have the original for comparison?
I don’t believe it because they wouldn’t be that sloppy. I can photoshop todays paper into the hand of Cthulhu and I don’t even need AI.
It sure looks fucking weird though. Ngl.
Honestly I don’t see how any of that could resemble English prose.
Genuinely, does anyone have the paper? Because it feels like people don’t.
Edit: ok it’s posted below.
Lol I love having fun with theories as much as the next guy but it’s very clearly just poor quality. The original newspaper I’ve just seen says “ Noskova Claims title in all-Czech showdown “ which I can even pretty clearly see it does say “ all Czech shutdown ” at the bottom. I would love for someone to prove me wrong and show me an AI that’s even capable of replicating something that convincing, it can’t put a real newspaper in there with accuracy like that no way. The room does kinda look like the backrooms but I’ve seen lots of clinics like this,i t is the USA after all.
What I do think is fake is how cognizant his statements are. No way he’s this sharp anymore and just like Biden they are playing up how not-braindead he is behind closed doors.
This is what I’ve seen floating around
Could just be post-processing I guess.
But Eralean rhinns alic be ali- carcia aberodermc could be a real headline.
Lol the bottom one is clearly the original ran thru an AI filter and interpreted by it wrong. The original one is a real WaPo sports section I don’t believe AI could replicate a blurry one so well. If the original was completely AI generated it would look like this.
Can you post the original article for comparison?
Edit: nvm got it!
What does the actual paper say for that headline? That’s the whole point of holding that day’s paper, so others can compare to see if it’s the same paper, not just some paper with that day’s date on it.
Uh
I’m not even on the AI conspiracy wagon but that don’t seem to match up.
Edit: hmmm… Maybe? If I squint?
In any case, I doubt they’d use AI. They know people will look at it through a loupe.
Jfc…look at the edge of the real newspaper photo: sharp 90 corner, look at Mitch’s paper: rounded corner. They used the real page as the reference for AI generation. Text is slop.
It’s photoshop slop. No AI necessary.
