The real image of the teens in the comments

Fucked up they wouldn't give them credit with a proper picture.

I suspect it's not because the article writers couldn't find the picture but because of the legalities of just taking an image from another source.
This is also why e.g. Wikipedia is full of old, or crappy celebrity pictures - Wikipedia requires an open license for the photos they host, but most celebrity photos aren't licensed as such.

Wasn't diverse enough to meet quota

It's a bot, it's probably generating images from articles as soon as they publish. Probably so reddit can pump engagement stats for the board.

It's just an extension of rewriting, they want to host "original" content over reposts, but rarely care about accuracy.
SpruceBringsteen 1 point 9 months ago
But our buddy in AI image generation needs a capital B too, so we're pumping their numbers as well.

Because there's no people behind it. Probably a perl script that scrapes news and feeds it into an LLM to create click bait articles.

Didn't want to bother getting the rights for the real pic maybe?

Such an obviously AI generated photo, too.
