Why does it feel like an AI generated image? Am I the only one getting this vibe?
Musk really did post this.
Whether he used an AI generator or not, it's possible. But honestly, I could easily see him paying for a photoshoot for this since he announced moving SpaceX to Texas.
Not to come off as a musk fan-boy (I am most certainly not), but that's a damn good photograph. Absolutely a professional photoshoot with hilariously high-end wardrobe.
If it's real, I'm confident he had some competent assistant hire a competent crew for that photo-op. I'm guessing a competent PR consultant suggested a good photo-op in the first place, hit the right buttons to appeal to his wannabe cool image.
If it's fake, some competent developer created a good tool, fed with competently selected data to create a rather convincing image.
What I'm trying to say is that there most certainly were several competent people involved in the making of this picture.
Just not the subject.
