What's the point of this bad photoshop?

  Yeah, that's almost certainly it, though that still doesn't really explain what they did to the winglets.

  Perhaps: interesting how despite three decades of Photoshop, it's not always immediately clear that an image was doctored.

  This is at least slightly interesting, compared to the outrage porn that is currently doing the rounds.

  Internet sleuthing is always fun to watch.

  It’s illustrative of the level of effort required for humans to resolve the “real or fake” question. We’re about to see an explosion of AI-generated images and other content on the web. That said, a thoughtful person can easily estimate that the level of effort to spot a fake image is much greater than the effort required for an AÍ to generate it. There does seem to be a significant number of HN readers who like spending their brain cycles on trivia.

  Because soon people will ask this about every image in the news.

  I appreciate it for the allegory I find in it. It's kind of like "Something's up, so shall we commence a forensic analysis of this system and then reverse engineer it?" and then someone sensible says "Maybe start by asking the guy who made it."

  Well, first it was posted, and then it was liked, just like all the other posts that make it to the front page.

My guess would be illustrating what it would look like if IndiGo had a freight service. Still not a good explanation for the winglet job though. Perhaps the artist felt the Boeing ones look more modern? Or "if we had a freight service, it would be on Boeings"?
