An image people won't believe wasn't machine generated in 5 years.

I may have thought it was a fake picture even 20 years ago. That kind of stuff could have come from Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday.

Photo editing and compositing has been around long before photoshop too.

Sure, but since the advent of digital media I wouldn't assume someone went full Stalinian propaganda to fabricate that picture. Though I think I would respect that effort, in a way.

In 5 years? Any image that's less than believable and has a minor abnormality is immediately called AI. Any low effort post, AI. The hysteria is upon us already.
