Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Fucked up they wouldn't give them credit with a proper picture.
I believe it's also not a proper picture in the wider sense: The whole thing was probably generated, not just the water, "plastic", and device.
Definitely machine generated because they couldn't be assed to even look for the actual photo. The tool, the lab, nothing makes sense there, it's all fake.
I suspect it's not because the article writers couldn't find the picture but because of the legalities of just taking an image from another source.
This is also why e.g. Wikipedia is full of old, or crappy celebrity pictures - Wikipedia requires an open license for the photos they host, but most celebrity photos aren't licensed as such.
we know why.
Sloppers gonna slop
I simply can't comprehend people who's first thought, even before using something that already exists, is to turn to llms and image gens for a worse result. It's so fucking stupid.
It's a bot, it's probably generating images from articles as soon as they publish. Probably so reddit can pump engagement stats for the board.
Still stupid. If it can scrape the article, it can scrape the photos.
It's just an extension of rewriting, they want to host "original" content over reposts, but rarely care about accuracy.
And then it posts a picture of a piece of plastic and engagement is lower.
This is a high tech low tech solution
But our buddy in AI image generation needs a capital B too, so we're pumping their numbers as well.
Because there's no people behind it. Probably a perl script that scrapes news and feeds it into an LLM to create click bait articles.
Didn't want to bother getting the rights for the real pic maybe?
Holy fuck
But I want the sonic screw driver one.
But it doesnt work on wood
