Wouldn’t the simple use of exif data be able to disprove that? Also the proof of the set, clothes, etc.?

You can modify exif data easily, but yea I think this could be verified in a myriad of ways to legitimize the photo.

I would have guessed that this was an authentic photo based on them showing up correctly in the mirror. Can AI image generators handle mirrors? That would be seriously impressive to me.
