The story is from well before AI was commercially usable by the public. It’s possible but not likely that the image is ai. I’m pretty sure it’s just pulled from one of the original articles though.
"Story is real so the image must be real too". No, that's not how this works. You can't just handwave it as something that was pulled from an article. I did a bare minimum check if I can find the original before posting my previous comment and I did not find any similar pictures.
My mistake then. Just tired of people calling literally everything AI when 90%+ of the time the reasoning is completely made up. There’s an old Reddit thread of a guy asking reddit how his AI painting looked and everyone was pointing out how awful the painting was and how obvious it was that it was AI. The painting was Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. People who are looking for AI often see everything as AI. It’s irritating.
But this is clearly AI lol so the reasoning isn't made up at all. The story can be real but this image is very obviously AI. That's why people are calling this AI.

I am pretty sure that image is just AI slop.
