    From above -

    Right side - Behind the right (drivers side) front tire, I see, the ribbed steel guard rail. I see a flat metal (?) plate, that I assume is part of the spindle. I see bright flash from something getting to the camera lens, as is in the center of the grill.
    I see the entire right rear tire tread, with nothing blocking any of it...as an axle would be doing.
    I also see the right side rear backing plate, with...nothing such as an axle obstructing the view.

    Left side - In front of the left (pass. side) front tire, I see a lot of "right" side ladder bar. I see what appears to be some sort of vertical bar behind the grill, but nothing "obviously" connected to it.
    As in the right side rear tire tread, the right side ladder bar is unobstructed by...the front axle ?!

    The million dollar question...what the hell is holding the front of this car...up ?

    Well, obviously, since this is an action shot, it's the brutal torque reaction from the bad boy L88 rat motor under that L88 hood scoop! Actually I don't know. Farm tractor axle?

    WHY...is everything (that really...ISN'T...AI !) AI, all of a sudden ?
    It's actually been around for many years in one level or another. so why now.

    Spindles like these, but more extreme.

    I think "AI" is becoming a blanket term for photo-manipulation, like "Photoshop" (even though there are many types of software that can do that). The difference is that AI is created by a machine that stole images from others, and Photoshop/photo manipulation was done by a human. What really amazes me is that so many people can't recognize an AI-generated image from reality.

    Yeah, you are probably correct.
    BUT...Details matter.

    Such as -
    Lets eat kids.
    or
    Lets eat, kids.

    Same words...BUT...completely...different meaning...right !!

    Absolutely. I always use "photo-manipulation" and "AI" where appropriate. They are not interchangeable terms.

    I'm not the best at detecting sarcasm, so I'll just say No, that's Hound Dog Taylor's actual hand.

    Taylor had a condition known as polydactylism, which resulted in him having six fingers on both hands. As is usual with the condition, the extra digits were rudimentary nubbins and could not be moved. One night, while drunk, he cut off the extra digit on his right hand using a straight razor.

    Fine, no problem, or a freak of nature. Didn't think of that possibility.

    But NOT "AI".
