Photoshops by people with poor photoshopping skills are more endearing - and environmentally friendly - than these AI images. This is absolutely no better at getting the technical details right (e.g. the faces of the 2) than a bad photoshopper.

I fully support the introduction of tethered plastic bottle lids to reduce the amount of plastic bottle tops littered.
But the current design of the lids is so bad, the tether is so short, that it’s almost impossible to get the lid back on if you don’t chug it in one.
Yes I just got a shower of OJ

A norovirus outbreak linked to oysters sickened at least 80 people who attended an event celebrating The Los Angeles Times’s annual list of the 101 best restaurants in the city, local health officials said. Tickets to the event cost $159, with VIP tickets going for close to $350 each.
