I always remember this photo because it came out on the cusp of the generative AI boom. It was NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. It's a shame that genuine photos like this one -- requiring careful planning, positioning, timing, and an element of luck for weather and viewing conditions -- will be eventually be completely drowned in a sea of AI-generated slop. Sure, the accusations of "Photoshop" have been around for longer, and Photoshop fakes can be more deceptive, but the sheer volume of AI slop is overwhelming. We're swamped.

Framing is so good that for a second I thought it was some Photoshop. Nice photo!
