Does anyone have proof that the McConnell photo and message are real? [View all] Kablooie Monday OP

They didn't even bother to animate him. Klarkashton Monday #1

Oh, there's animated versions around ready Johonny Monday #11

Just stop. FascismIsDeath Monday #2

stop. they have NO crediility. An easily photoshopped image proves nothing. Blues Heron Monday #8

I'm an IT professional with 25 years of experience. You are in no position to lecture me about photoshopping. FascismIsDeath Monday #16

LOL cool story bro Blues Heron Monday #20

I've used photoshop and I have experience with using AI to generate photos or inpaint things into photos. FascismIsDeath Monday #23

the proof is that there is no video, meeting, phone call or anything OTHER than a crude photo with the newspaper Blues Heron Monday #24

That isn't how proof works. FascismIsDeath Monday #26

its how public opinion is formed and informed.This isn't math class. Blues Heron Monday #28

"Opinion" Renew Deal Monday #40

yes opinion. Mitch owes his constituents an explanation, they cough up a photo. Public opinion says not good enough Blues Heron Monday #43

This assumes that republicans would switch votes over this. Renew Deal Monday #49

I never said they couldn't do more. FascismIsDeath Monday #46

I taught photoshop for 29 years. The image is obviously fake. Check out the details on the newspaper. diane in sf Monday #37

Its not obviously anything. FascismIsDeath Monday #50

Are you suggesting the numerous 20 minute phone calls were real too? dem4decades Monday #9

How many 20 minute phone calls were claimed to have happened? FascismIsDeath Monday #19

Thune said he had a phone call too-- also 20 minutes. viva la Monday #29

So... 2 phone calls is "numerous"? FascismIsDeath Monday #30

Just adding a bit of information there, not claiming anything new. viva la Monday #41

Bull.. Cherrycheeks Monday #38

People have opinions that may not reflect yours MorbidButterflyTat Monday #12

If you think that was a "nasty" comment, then I suggest you re-evaluate what you consider nasty. FascismIsDeath Monday #17

No thanks MorbidButterflyTat Monday #25

Given I have no clue what your gender is, accusing me of mansplaining is also silly. FascismIsDeath Monday #27

Exactly--the poster just asked a question crimycarny Monday #39

Thanks. MorbidButterflyTat Monday #54

What about his face? BlueKota Monday #57

Looks pretty wrinkly to me. FascismIsDeath Monday #60

Not as much as he does in this one BlueKota Monday #61

Or just lighting and angle. FascismIsDeath Monday #62

That's me at any angle crimycarny Monday #71

Yes, definitely airbrushed crimycarny Monday #66

Is the photo A/I generated? The Cincinnati Enquirer, /2026/07/10 icnorth Monday #18

They are talking about a completely different photo. FascismIsDeath Monday #21

AI isn't really capable of proving that something is or is not AI synni Monday #34

Gemini is a pretty shitty model for that. There are models trained specifically for that task. FascismIsDeath Monday #58

Silly how... Cherrycheeks Monday #35

It's not AI but it is from 2023. Kablooie Monday #55

The claim that it was from 2023 seems to be Facebook manufactured bullshit. FascismIsDeath Monday #59

This is so silly, all they have to do is let a reporter talk to him in person. He looks up to it based on the photo. Blues Heron Monday #10

If it was a fall, why the 911 CPR call? SheltieLover Monday #15
