I may have thought it was a fake picture even 20 years ago. That kind of stuff could have come from Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday.
Photo editing and compositing has been around long before photoshop too.
Sure, but since the advent of digital media I wouldn't assume someone went full Stalinian propaganda to fabricate that picture. Though I think I would respect that effort, in a way.
Cheers to an old old memory. You look like shit.
Jokes on you, I don't believe it today
I did it just now lol
In 5 years? Any image that's less than believable and has a minor abnormality is immediately called AI. Any low effort post, AI. The hysteria is upon us already.

I believe it, but I came to the comments to check.
Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars.
I want to ride my speeder bike.
I was expecting something different.
That happened later in a private suite of the Deathstar.
Clearly ai art. Darth Vader isn't real.
Maybe it’s Freddie who’s not real
The comment on that website is chef's kiss:
"Instead of a Dark Lord you shall have a Queen!"
