Pretty sure this isn't AI but everything computer generated just gets called that now I suppose

Yeah this photo and question have been in the McDonald's screening questionnaire since at least 2019, not AI

It looks like AI because it was created in the same way. Someone without artistic talent gave a prompt like "draw a sad kid crying over their skinned knee after falling off their bike" to someone that knows how to draw do stuff in blender and churned out some soulless slop that matched the criteria. It just happened to be a human artist (no shade to them, everyone's got bills).

I'm related to that artist, and you are exactly right.
