I wonder what a work day is like for the person who comes up with the concept for the stock photos

They've gotta just take random nouns from a list and mash em together, right? "Let's see, I got 'cyborg', and... 'corn'. Alright, Jennifer, let's get you into that shiny unitard. Where's catering? Someone get me an ear of corn from catering! Raw, dammit, with the husk!"

And a syringe! For you know, reasons or something.

She's clearly injecting corn with gmos, digitally altered cyber 5g dna. It's as plain as the visor on my face.

I'm guessing some kind of bio engineering related use was expected, but even if that's the case, the syringe is still fucking weird lol

My best guess is that they hope some agriculture or GMO company might have a use for it. Basically crops + future theme. Maybe they were trying to stand out from the likely vastly more common corn + person in lab coat?
