I feel you, John McCarthy, I feel you.
Photo of a woman seated looking at the camera, with a man seated behind her captured mid bite, fork in mouth.
Oh to dream of being that guy in the back of a NYTimes society photo.
An image with four people sitting on chairs on a low stage and overlayed text: "Poetry, AI, Ethics and Inclusion. Saturday 25 April, 11:00. Watershed. Lyra Bristol Poetry Festival."

Case closed!
Unless I'm confusing the shows, Ron mentions being there in this interview: www.thebeliever.net/logger/ron-p... (and Berkson was also there: www.aaa.si.edu/collections/...)
That’s another photo by Heyman that I found online taken from the same perspective, but with different people (I want to believe it’s Ron Padgett, on the left in this one, looking down, but that seems a stretch): 64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt9oq...
It is the Stable, taken by Ken Heyman. It’s in the book from the 2020 Tate Warhol show.
A few people standing around Warhol's reproductions of boxes for Heinz tomato ketchup and Campbell's tomato juice.
Does anyone want to tell me that this is a picture of Joe Brainard looking confused by the Campbell's Tomato Juice boxes?
What’s really going to break our collective brains is when AI generated stuff starts coming for soi-disant quality lit. I can all but guarantee that there will be some Tao Lin or Kenny Goldsmith type who convinces a bunch of rubes that he’s being edgy & avantgarde by using LLMs to “write“ his work.
I followed the exact same path you described. It did teach me a valuable lesson: always ignore emails supposedly coming from IT!
For me, the original email was also mysteriously not prefaced with the "You don't often get email from . . . " header like 100% of other external emails I receive. . . .

And someday there will be a more complete machine. One's thoughts or feelings during life—or while the machine is recording—will be like an alphabet with which the image will continue to comprehend all experience (as we can form all the words in our language with the letters of the alphabet). Then life will be a repository for death. But even then the image will not be alive; objects that are essentially new will not exist for it. It will know only what it has already thought or felt, or the possible transpositions of those thoughts or feelings. from Adolfo Bioy Casares's THE INVENTION OF MOREL (1940) translated from the Spanish by Ruth L.C. Simms
