    The measuring tape seems to have the correct numbers though. AI tends to have trouble with generating images with numbers or letters in them, and I think that if this was AI generated, it would have nonsense characters and numbers out of order.

      In Photoshop the AI tool allows you to generate only a specific portion of an image. The eyes appear to be the same but the mouth is different and the ruler is slightly bent. Reverse image search shows only this post
