The graph makes no sense. Did a generative AI make it.
I think there's a good chance of that:
-2xinstead of~2x- a human is unlikely to make that mistake==0- there's a space every other time it's done, including the screenshotLooks like it. It's a complete fever dream graph. I really don't get how someone can use an image like that. Personally I don't really like AI art anyways, but I could somewhat understand it as a sort of "filler" image to make your article a bit more interesting. But a graph that is supposed to convey actual information? No idea why anyone would AI gen that without checking
yeah I got angry just looking at it
