similar memes with both the correct (1958) and incorrect (1964) date for the MLK photo.

As for the AI not-images of Porter, Good and Pretti...I'm guessing that AI collage supposedly of them has been circulating on social media for a while, though I didn't see it when I searched Google Images for their last names in that order. Google's been trying hard to keep AI fake photos out of Google Images, though. Someone might've just asked an image generator to generate that collage, assuming AI would provide real photos (ha). I posted a thread in LBN recently about Trump's Secretary of Education posting AI-generated fake photos of real people. And there's a small chance that AI user, whoever it was, thought it would be a good thing to create an idealized central-casting AI version of them, and didn't realize that was in no way appropriate or fair to them.
