Look at the image I’ve attached. The stars are clearly messed up. It’s the same thing I usually see in gen AI stuff: when there’s a repeating pattern, it tends to fall out of sequence near a visual border. In this case, the stars get bunched up and new ones added close to flag just to the left.

Perhaps AI was only used to enhance the image? Or it’s a homemade flag?
Edit: It’s true that not everything is AI. There’s a nonzero chance that the flag is warped, which is causing the pattern break, or something else created artifacts. It’s just really hard to trust anything right now, no matter the source.
I admit I was too hasty in calling it out as AI. For my own sanity, I tried drawing lines connecting the stars and determined there is likely a deep ripple in the fabric which causes the stars to be misaligned. It’s not, however, straight like the image of the superimposed flag you attached, though.
And yes, I might ‘lose the plot’ sometimes, but I eventually try to get back on track :)
