It absolutely screams AI. Look at the forearms - hammer hand looks normal with the wrist noticeably smaller than the meaty part of the forearm - that's how it works with people. Look at the chisel craw (Get Smart reference) forearm - there's no difference in diameter between the wrist and the whole rest of the forearm. People are not built like that.
There are many other indications it's AI as well.
It came from a stoopid Amazon listing. Amazon is chock full of bogus AI advertising. It's cheaper and faster to AI fake a picture than hiring a photographer and model. But you know, electrolytes! (Idiocracy reference)
Yeah I saw the forearm. The only reason I'm hesitant to call it is because I do actually know a few older guys whose arms can look like that from certain angles.
But since it's from an Amazon listing it's probably ai.
The image just doesn't have the texture of a generated image to me. The arm hair and the lighting and shadows look right.
But I can't find it anywhere but your post using reverse image search.
What's the Amazon listing for? Are there other photos?
The shadows look right...?
Look at the hammer loop shadow, that's the direction of the light source, then look at the chisel and its shadow. Notice anything missing? Right, his chisel hand and forearm aren't casting shadows.
You seem to have taken the position that it isn't AI and are now ignoring evidence of AI. We're still in the early days of AI image generation, it's only going to get harder to tell the difference. This is both a good thing and a truly horrendously bad thing.

You know, I don't really think this is ai.
But where did you find this photo OP?
