Well, it’s certainly true that it should be pointed out that this is not a real image, but rather an exaggeration that also contains information that is unfounded—or even worse: false.
To me, however, it seems more like a caricature, a political satire, if you will: Here, too, exaggeration is used to express criticism and elicit an emotional response.
Nevertheless, you’re right, of course: It must be obvious that this is satire. Since this image isn’t a drawing that makes that fact clear, it’s right and important that you point it out—thank you very much for that!
And yes, you’re right on this point as well: Using image generation to criticize exploitation is indeed hypocritical.
