I think Ezra has an aversion to DC somehow, it’s like every protest minimizes the seat of power in this country. Last June “don’t go to DC!” This time, too many options. We really need a blockbuster in DC

By trying to claim the pic with the huge crowd was AI generated

If anything was AI generated, it was just the crowd portion. The city buildings, streets and park (where the picture was centered) were all real.

Or an old photo from another time. There are existing photos of Philly yesterday. This is not one of those.
