I have had this thing as my screenlocker image for a couple of weeks now (seems to be a standard Windows10 image), and I just noticed how heavily photoshopped it was.

All of them could be found on walpaper sites, at least the ones I searched for.
Nowadays it is more difficult to find natural photos, without retouching or editing than the other way around.

Not to mention that AI has rendered a completely unrecognizable photo of Danton; it's hard to even see a resemblance. AI is certainly the future, but it still has a long way to go. Remove backgrounds, which also uses AI, is amazing many times. Other times, it will botch a photo so badly you can't really figure out how it got it so wrong.
I'm not quite sure they gave the program the right image to alter; this guy was Danton.
