He's lying though. He's pretending the original (wierdly blurry) output was the only AI output, but the details and basically everything else is also AI generated. Nothing is his own skill, brushstroke or even artistic effort/craft, other than prompting the machine-image-generator that he sources the work from.

I only have this article to go on, and it does not suggest that at all. What sources do you have that show he is lying about his input to the artwork?
