The Onion Just Deleted Another Image After Realizing It Was AI Slop

Quick Summary:

Days after The Onion was forced to take down an article's image after realizing it was AI slop, the satirical news site has had to do so again.

After being somewhat hilariously called out, the newspaper's CEO, Ben Collins, was all apologies on Bluesky when admitting that the article — titled "Panicked Pottery Barn Executives Announce They Have Lost Control Of The Wicker" and featuring an image of the Manhattan skyline replaced with the woven material — had been up for a while.

As with the last time this happened, it does seem very much like The Onion made an honest mistake when altering stock art for comedic effect.
