Am I going insane or do the two women in front middle have weird looking hands?

Noup, probably AI generated picture as messed up hands are a rather stereotypical for AI.

My son just had to write a short screenplay for a class, and he has one woman confront another with a photograph, demanding to know who is in that photo, and the accused flippantly says: “Oh that’s AI, just look at the hands,” and the accuser glances at the picture and hollers “Their hands are NORMAL!”
