I miss the world of three years ago where this image would silently tell a mildly amusing story of corporate error, rather than being dismissed as AI slop.
And you could imagine the chain of events. Marketing manager is like "Hey, I like it but can we get his arm around her?" and the artist goes off and does the change but forgets the other hand. Marketing manager loves it, nobody notices, poster gets printed, poster gets put up, and still nobody spots a thing until the public do.
Of course, it's still corporate error even if it's AI. Someone should have spotted it and didn't. Heck, there's a chance even in 2026 this was good-old-fashioned human error all the way down, with no AI involved at all. But it doesn't hit the same as it used to because AI has ruined our default assumptions.
