I don't even think AI was involved, probably compression + someone increasing contrast before uploading it to their Instagram @funnymemeslol page to make it POP

I've never seen compression make an image look like that. I have seen lots of garbage upscaling/"enhancing" do exactly that. The blurry smoothing effect and full-on alterations are dead giveaways. Notice how his eyes fully go from blue to brown?

Nah, AI was definitely involved. It is pretty standard for most social media posts these days, because it is so easy for even the most tech-iliterate person to click the slopbutton.
