The hands don’t seem off to me, especially if the model has done a lot of hand-on labor. The thing that sticks out to me as an indicator of this being not AI generated is the markings on the strand board to the right of the model’s belt; I don’t think an AI would take into consideration the product info marked onto raw material, let alone be able to place three squares of that info in line. If we could find actual raw strand board with those specific product markings, especially one sold by Home Depot, that would suggest it to be an actual photograph. Identifying the model in the photo and finding photos of him outside of Home Depot’s promo shots would also indicate it’s a photo. In either case of it being a photo or AI-gen, the marketing team still could have done some photoshopping as they see fit.
I think that he wore gloves, then they decided that they didn’t like it. So someone had to paint hands over the gloves and they didn’t try to re-scales them.
