      I think there’s a good chance of that:

      • -2x instead of ~2x - a human is unlikely to make that mistake
      • no space here: ==0 - there’s a space every other time it’s done, including the screenshot
      • the numbers are wrong - the screenshot has different data than the image
      • why are there three bars? A naive approach would have two.

      Looks like it. It’s a complete fever dream graph. I really don’t get how someone can use an image like that.

But a graph that is supposed to convey actual information? No idea why anyone would AI gen that without checking
