The grass in that AI pic gives me the willies but I can't explain why. Gives me the same feeling as the frogs that have babies out of their backs.l, or something like that.

I'm pretty sure that isn't an AI pic, it looks like a quick and dirty cut and paste composition. Which is probably why the grass looks so weird, they just grabbed some random picture of grass and used the magic select tool to put it in the foreground

Pretty sure it's AI. Look at their faces, close but not really. Strange thumb on almost Asian looking Elon. Strange clip on Trump's collar

Nope, I took a closer look - I can usually spot AI pics at a glance, but there's clear artifacts here.

Zoom in on the objects, first the edges - there's clear antialiasing on the hair and grass. Zoom in on the faces, the chain, the two grass images - they don't match. The level of detail is totally different, these came from separate images

Even look at the grass that weirded you out up close, it's from a real picture. It doesn't have the fae-like perfection of an AI image, there's weeds and dead tissue on the edges of the grass - it's an image of grass cut from a background with a contrasting color, it seems like it's lighter so I'm guessing sidewalk or curb

AI generated images don't have these type of artifacts, and they're damn herd to blend... Some people can, I couldn't. This is definitely shopped, I'd bet money on it

Both have epicanthal folds/monolids. It's harder to tell with the AI trump because he's squinting.
