This is dangerously close. We know it’s AI-generated because a picture like this would never be taken, but without that context, there’s very few clues inside the picture itself that suggest it. JD’s left hand is at an awkward angle, but his right hand looks correct. The Cheetos bag is closed. We also know that Trump’s spray tan isn’t applied nearly that evenly; the AI made him look better. That’s about it.

This is getting close to having entirely realistic pictures that are completely made up, and nobody will be able to say for sure that they’re AI or not. The political implications are unsettling.
