I swear this image has been around for ages, way before AI could generate anything this well
The scary/annoying part is, from now on there'll always be a little voice in our head ask: is it AI?
And the answer is “no” most of the time.

It looks upscaled or something though. And did the guy always look like that? 🤔 I easily may be misremembering of course.
If you look at the frame of the bike, around where the rear shock is, it doesn't look right. Also, the scale is off, this dude would be ridiculously tall if this was a normal sized bike. Look at the size of the seat, for example.
It's a Specialized S-Works Epic - a high-end cross-country bike. With the saddle dropped, I think any normal sized rider would look the same.
Check out the 9-minute mark on this video for a comparison - I don't know if it's the same version of the bike, but it should be comparable.
