Hehe that was me 40 years ago. A Toshiba upright shoebox mono tape recorder, a 3.5mm to chunky headphone plug adapter, and a toiletries bag neatly stuffed with 20 cassettes. This was pre-walkman era.
This has to be AI. Weirdly low quality, table placememt and size makes no sense, glasses don't support themselves on ears (headphones are way lower compared to his glasses). Headphone cable size is inconsistent as well.
Agreed, also it just looks too natural to be AI. It has real film grain that AI just doesn't reproduce. The shitty quality is just regular ol' JPEG compression artifacts too; you can tell because they are cubic instead of weird and blobby like AI. I'd be shocked if this wasn't real
The tables are foldable, the glasses moved up to avoid being pinched between the ears and the skull and the quality is probably due to an old compact camera/phone combined with low light and heavy compression.

It's an old meme but it is still valid.

looks like a completely normal train table to me, and moving the glasses so they don't interfere with the headphones is a common thing to do

Thanks. I hate how seeing pictures like this now just makes me suspicious immediately.

Shit like this is more annoying than AI. "Hurr I can tell from the pixels."

If you keep saying everything is AI eventually you'll be right! Keep it up!

I don't think so, but I'd just like to point out we had photo editing before AI
