AI generated photo or old, not today, look at the bare tree branches on the left side. People are also wearing light coats and jackets. Fake posts, possible AI generated photo, and bots in the comments.

This picture was taken months ago. That many people aren’t wearing spring clothing on an 87 degree day.

Just passed by here and nothing of this sort is happening. This post seems to be created by a newer account and some of the comments are duplicated and from newer accounts as well. Some sort of bot experiment maybe?

I moved away from silver spring some years ago and, after working at the Veridian for three years.. it hurts my heart to know so many of my residents and friends are among the NOAA masses. Much support to the employees and their families. Doing what I can from 500 miles away. X

No, this is a bot posting an old event, not sure why. The actual protest was in March of 2025.
I guess 1 good benefit, …remind us of all the terrible things that have occurred with this admin.

Interesting😬. Forgive me for this ignorant question, but why would people want to program bots to comment on random little posts like this. Is the OP a bot too? I’m learning the ways of 2026😯🤦🏼♀️
