Meanwhile a dude in a maga hat is in the cabin streaming to his YouTube channel explaining how it’s the left’s fault his boat is sinking after he drilled speed holes in it because regulations and expert advice are for brainwashed sheep

After some research I found the source of the image. It is Iliannet Abella with her sister, posing on a beached ship near Miami.

On May 29, 2019, Cuban model Iliannet Abella posted a snapshot that went viral.

It shows her and her sister in bikinis on a yacht off the coast of Miami. So far, so good. But the yacht is sinking. The image has been copied, shared, and altered thousands of times, as a meme or a political message.

Source: French-German TV channel arte.tv made some documentation a few years ago. https://educ.arte.tv/program/le-dessous-des-images-le-yacht-coule-un-meme-insubmersible

Shitty ai meme. Make something new

Edit: guess it’s not AI, my apologies OP!

If I remember this is a pretty old meme format? Like pre 2020?

Is there some hint that this is AI?

There are boats that have sunk in shallow water which look like this. It's not an actively sinking boat, so people will go take a picture on it.

Look at the left woman’s chest. There’s also something weird in the water at the front right.

Happy to be proven wrong, but it looks off to me

That is a strange-looking bikini top.

For me, the degradation of the edge of the boat being concentrated at the waterline where floating stuff might strike it is sort of hinting that at least the boat is real. I just don't imagine AI having that many examples of what relatively new-looking partially sunk boats look like. Maybe I'm wrong about that, though.

I had figured that you thought it was AI because these ladies seem so calm and are posing for a photo on a boat that is actively sinking. But like I said, I don't think the boat is actively sinking. If it's about the bikini top, then I'll have to defer, as my knowledge about ladies' swimwear is not particularly comprehensive.

Seems like the image predates AI, so my apologies to OP. Yeah, no issue with the boat, I figured it was on a sandbar or something, just thought there were some very strange artifacts.

Maybe it was upscaled somewhere along the way?

Appreciated! No idea what’s going on with her bikini, but it’s definitely older than I expected. Imgur won’t load for me; does her outfit have the same weird look?
