A question for those very familiar with AI, photoshop, or both: what are your thoughts on the just-released McConnell photo? This is a serious query; I've no set feelings of my own. I've heard folks talk about a white "halo" around his finger, but I want to hear from the experts.

Just saw your message about the #McConnell pic. Figured i'd share what I saw. Nothing definitive, but just my thoughts at first glance. Hope it helps.

Damn fine work. And yes, my curiosity is increasingly not about the possibility of AI but whether the newspaper is organically part of the rest of the image. Not saying I have a view, merely that that was where my curiosity has sat.
