      I thought the same thing and the AI looked like Eric Idol. It is really sad seeing a magazine like the Smithsonian using AI slop.

          Yeah I wouldn’t mind if an actual artist has uses some slop generator to help them in some aspect of doing the depiction, but this was clearly just some prompt into a chatbot and no actual artist even touched it. Don’t think they even used “photo editing tools” except perhaps for cropping.

          Like you say, no lamp. One item. And such a nice clear day you can see all the way to the mountain in the described “darker than dark”-darkness — for which he was supposed to have the lamp for.
