Big whoop.
Gizmodo, and all the Gawker, G/O Media brands, have been trash for years. If I was in charge here, they’d be banned.
The way it was discovered was what interested me more. They made a really stupid mistake that should have gotten caught at some point in the process. It’s about as blatant an error as there could be for a clock background image.
Alright, and? If the entire image were AI-generated, then I would see an issue here, but a real artist was still involved and the end result is by far transformative enough that it shouldn’t matter, and stock photos are used all the time in graphics work like this
