    And what is more disturbing is that this is (if true) from stock image site. So they paid for this. 🤦

    Not quite sure this is the right place to post it, but I stumbled upon an article illustrated with this.

    Newspaper is the main one in my area with lots of subscriptions and sold at every kiosk.

    What even were the prompts for this? Little girls raising their arms. Great, need to see more bellies. As many as possible. Yes, nice, even in the background

      Yeah I didn’t notice at first but now you mention it the bellies are unsettling to say the least

    For me, that really gives a feeling of a country show from where I grew up. It’s perfect. It’s actually quite incredible.

      I don’t know.

      For me it had this instant slight creepiness the moment I looked at the page it was part of.

      Quick look at fingers and clothes just confirmed it.

        If you delve into it yes. However, in the feed, on the scroll, it felt homely. We are in a new age.

          ln the traditional wood-pulp -based newspaper it really still stands out between all the “real” photos.

          But these kind of images will increasingly also be crawling in there, replacing generic illustrations.
