Probably not. The article credits Shutterstock submitter Vladislav Noseek, whose online presence with photographs of this style (soft lighting, bright lighting, shallow depth of field, a focus on breakfast foods) long predates generative AI, much less of this quality. It's stock photographers like this guy whose inoffensive visual style and identity have been most directly incorporated into the AI defaults.
