[...] It would also explain why they decided to paint a canopy on the X-36 - I don't think any other unmanned x-planes have a fake canopy painted on them.

Is this supposed to be a quiz game or what? It's not a real nighttime photo. The noise and darkness in this image have been added intentionally, in order to not make the aircraft immediately clear, but anyone with basic skills in photo edition can enhance it fairly easily. Although nothing proves it is an actual photo of an actual aircraft, it looks the part (though I don't understand the front landing gear doors)... and if fake, it is more convincing than the previous image. So if you've got the original, undoctored image, please share it, but don't tease us like that!

I made it with chatgpt, which isn't even the best image generator. Hopefully everyone can see that if this is an AI image, the previously discussed image can also be AI.

Edit: not only that, but the previous AI image is much much worse, made with a greatly inferior model. Compare the two:

Its time to admit that unless you know the provenance of an image, you can't be certain as to whether it's AI. These models get better every month.
