Actually, according to the real Grok:

No, this photo does not appear to be fabricated. It is a genuine image released by Senator Mitch McConnell’s office as part of a recent health update.
Senator McConnell has been hospitalized since mid-June 2026 (initially after a fall at home, later involving mild pneumonia and rehabilitation for mobility issues related to his history of polio). His office released a statement and this (or a very similar) photograph showing him with his wife, Elaine Chao, in a hospital/rehabilitation setting, holding a newspaper to demonstrate his recovery and current status.
Key Details Supporting Authenticity
• Newspaper: The visible section aligns with the July 12, 2026, Washington Post sports content (e.g., coverage of events like Nationals games, Wimbledon, or other timely sports stories from that date). While The Washington Post scaled back its dedicated sports department earlier in 2026, sports coverage continues in print and online.
• Context: This image serves as recent “proof of life” amid public speculation about his health. It contrasts with a separate, clearly debunked AI-generated hoax image (showing him severely ill with tubes) that circulated earlier and was identified via tools like Google’s SynthID watermark and visual inconsistencies.
• Visual Consistency: The individuals match known appearances of Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. No credible reports from major outlets (as of July 12, 2026) label this specific photo as fake; instead, it ties directly to official updates.
In an era of deepfakes and heightened scrutiny around public figures’ health, such images are often examined closely. This one holds up based on timing, official sourcing, and alignment with verifiable details. If you have concerns about specific elements (e.g., lighting or proportions), they are likely within normal variation for a candid hospital photo.

That’s because I asked it to with my prompt. I asked it to upscale it and make it look like it was taken with a Canon camera. That’s why it doesn’t look like early 20th century. I still think it’s fascinating. It’s like you could just walk right into the scene. I think it looks like it probably looked to the person who took the film, in real life back then. Nothing wrong with that. 👍

Hi John, I used this prompt with a premium version of Grok. Very pleased with the result.

Restore this old film frame from approximately 1904 into a professional portrait of DLSR - quality color and detail, using an advanced upscaling algorithm comparable to the results from a Canon EOS R6 II. Ensure the restored image looks natural, retains exact facial features and has great clarity.

The playing was great, but can we all agree that camera operators recording guitar players need to have both the fretting hand and the picking hand in frame at the same time! Zooming in on just the picking hand drives musicians insane. A guitar player is playing with both hands and seeing them both at the same time is what we want to see. That would be like zooming in on a quarterback’s feet while he’s throwing a pass... At least this was better than legacy 1960s and 1970s video. You would have Jimi Hendrix playing a fantastic solo, and what was the cameraman doing? Zooming in super close on just his face.

@aakashgupta @elonmusk Wouldn’t this be a perfect showcase for Optimus? If surgery is in the future, a task like this could be perfected easily?

The most expensive item on a restaurant menu isn't meant to be sold.

It exists to make the second-most-expensive item look reasonable.

Behavioral economists call this the decoy effect. Dan Ariely proved it at MIT in 2008.

Every menu you've eaten from this year uses it. Plus 10 more tricks.

I pulled the playbook. Here's how each one hijacks your brain. 🧵

@Eze_Wilberforce For somebody that doesn’t own an actual business, a personal umbrella with your insurance company for 1M or more would be the way to go.
