there is no attribution to this photograph. there is no way to know who this is, even less if it is #AIslop or not.
this pic does captures the beta energy and #ProudBoys aesthetics of the kind of kind of guy who would want a job shredding the USA constitution. the kind of guy who dreams about being the next Trump and hobnobbing with the next Jeffrey Epstein.
The actual evidence is condemning enough; there is NO NEED to artificially inflame it with fake AI slop or Photoshop. Especially when that is exactly what the perpetrators of this crime will do on their own to spoil the evidence and get their guy off the rap.
But, some folks can't help themselves, huh?
It matches some pictures I saw that were very clearly "remove the mask" in an image generator (the picture was identical to a masked one) so I think it's safe to call it AI slop until we get a properly sourced image
