The hands do not look fine in the OP. Albert's left hand has three fingers in it. I understand now that it's the compression but don't pretend like it's completely inane to suspect shenanigans.

OP being the piss meme or the one I linked? Bcause Albert's hand is doing this

Edit: I see you already noticed it in the other reply. Disregard this

Nah, yeah, it's obvious when you know what you're looking for. The thing is that, because of the bad compression, both ring finger and pinky are barely visible in the picture posted in the OP here and read more like highlights on his palm. I am angry at myself too for jumping to conclusions, it's not okay. I do pride myself in checking thoroughly first because I'd hate to accuse a fellow artist wrongly. But it was only a matter of time and the real blame lies with AI bros for making everybody overly suspicious.

(The upside, I like to say, is that I look at pictures a lot more closely these days)

Anyway, thank you for setting things right.
