Oh shit, so this is real. I've been staring at this pic for a good few minutes on both my phone and pc to figure out if it's ai or not and if people just go along with some joke. The quality of the picture has this uncanny vibe I get from image gens because I have an impression that there are artifacts but can't quite point them out. The picture itself is also exactly something that would cross someone's mind to draw/generate to reflect what's happening out there.

Edit: One of the things that I noticed but forgot to mention is smoke gethering at the top of the frame as if it was a wall/box blocking it from escaping.
The smoke is gathering at the top of the frame like that because the building has an overhang at the entrance. Presumably the security camera that caught the footage in the article you linked is mounted on the overhang.
Yeah, I didn't knew that before I decided to look it up. I took my time because I wanted to figure it out by myself before fact checking. haha
