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

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.
