  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

I've seen photoshop images more realistic than this. These aren't even the usual uncanny AI that creeps people out.

Oh, and it's idiotic, but that's self-evident.

I'm wondering the same. Like was it really some standard cut and paste work and then some generative fill? It's got a certain 00s vintage look to it like it's not current interpretations of "AI" with text prompt input.
