Yep, aside from the fact that photography isn't allowed in US Federal Court, the most obvious sign is that she and the microphone are facing away from the judge - the positioning makes no sense.

That's the classic AI photo issue where "man looking at the moon" is a man looking at the camera with the moon behind him.

I ran some analysis on the source image — this is almost certainly AI-generated. In addition to the visual markers others noted (no photography in federal court, nonsensical positioning), here's what comes up in the original image:

  Filename: ..._simple_compose_01kdcxamjmekery2m9tay43szn.png
    - "simple_compose" + LSB common (e.g ideogram) output 

  Resolution: 1536x1024
    - Exact native output of GPT-image-1, Gemini/Imagen, Flux models

  PNG encoder fingerprint: 0x78 0xDA | single IDAT | 94.7% Average filter
    - Matches PIL/Pillow with optimize=True

  Steganographic watermark:
    - LSB entropy: 3.0/3.0 (maximum)
    - Bits 0-3 of RGB channels filled with encrypted payload
    - ~1.77 MB of pseudorandom data embedded

The analysis and tools were most definitely ai-aided, but this was done with homegrown forensics tooling, and about an hour of labor that involved cc, gemini (to check for synthid), chatgpt + a lot more. I also signed up for ideogram and generated more images to try and replicate the output: - e.g: https://ideogram.ai/g/fcqp-qTlQV-moS-OuhebhQ/1 (although I refused to pay for ideogram so I could not get a png output, only jpg)

Could be, but I’m sure the past few years have aged her pretty severely. She’s 31 now and the later ones are city miles.
