Are people in the stock photos real?

Seeing this question proves that AI changes everything.

Even without AI there's an awful lot of random stock photos. Years ago I remember I searched for and found a stock image of a woman tied to the train tracks of one of those kids mini train things, also there was like a few to pick from. I swear it was in some way relevant to the presentation that was giving but they can't remember details.

AI isn't needed.

Indeed, people have been manipulating photos since they invented photography.

Well, no. It changes stock photos. Stock photos aren't everything.

Most photos/videos taken with recent smartphones have been AI processed as well.

I am not saying "everything" in a literal sense, but you get what I meant to say, I hope.

(I am not saying that AI is changing the speed of light, just in case you are wondering).

If we end up with an AI capable of changing the speed of light I'm going to be a bit concerned.
