This viral image of Saturn isn’t real; it’s AI slop
A new image of "Saturn's North Pole" has gone viral.
Too bad it's an AI fake.
Here's what the real things look like, and how you can tell for yourself.

@startswithabang I hate AI but I somehow have to thank it for making you write this article and thus allowing me to learn so much about this phenomenon. I knew it existed, but didn't know it's now somewhat understood and that it has evolved in the past years!
Thanks! 
Looking at this, what sticks out for me, is the fact the angles look too good, where as the moving image (that is real) looks far more cicular, which you would expect.
Can you edit that image to put a red X over it or something like that?
Anyway the other day when we were reading a solar system book, my daughter asked to see an image of Saturn and I remember seeing that hexagonal storm at the top. I was surprised and tried to look up more details but couldn't find any. I should have realized that it was AI slop but I've managed to avoid it so well by being on here and not other sites that my detector is completely uncalibrated.
No one with any sense would have been fooled.
That genAI image has 8 corners on the circumpolar flow.
But it should only have 6 like every other phenomena based in snowflakes.
[Dear naive readers, this is the internet. You need to be careful about accepting what those other accounts post.]
