$10 says it was a stock photo without an AI disclosure that just got pulled from a library
"Hi! Quick note," Collins wrote on Bluesky, minutes after news of the AI image started to spread. "The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI-generated image in it."

Props to themπ

The Onion kicks ass, again. Good on them.
Based Onion as usual
