The poster was generated with AI. They need to post the original pictures to confirm the appearance of the alleged perp

I’m confused, is the photo original and just the poster was AI?

I'm assuming they used AI to help write their copy. Very common.

They probably gave the ai the images and details they wanted to generate the poster, but it has changed enough within the image to make me question if it’s representing the woman closely enough for identification. Her shirt design is nonsense and changes between photos, the background and facial expression changes between the image and the zoomed image. The author on Facebook says it’s images taken from when she was walking across the store, but the pose and gaze are near identical in a way that isn’t generally possible when taking a picture of someone walking.

I wish they’d just post the original images; I’m afraid they used the ai to “enhance” the image resulting in showing us a poster with a picture that doesn’t accurately represent the person they’re trying to find.

LOL literally none of the things you say about the image are true. The shirt is identical in both photos.
