    Man, now I have to always wonder if pictures like this are just AI.

        I’ve never seen the original at the Smithsonian. Only this image on the Internet.

          The Smithsonian tweeted the photo and credited it as coming from “Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, gift of Joe Schwartz and family, ©Joe Schwartz”. I’m going to take their word for it.

            Okay I think you’re missing my point. A few years ago I wouldn’t have thought, “I wonder if this is real or just AI?” This is a great photo and I’m glad that it’s presented at the Smithsonian. Sure images were photoshopped or edited in the past, but there were never so many photo-realistic images that were fabricated from nothing.

    a) Adorable.

    b) It’s not inconceivable that one or more of those kids is still alive today. Which I think is fascinating.
