I know that when I'm playing cards in a dress that's melted into my skin, with my favorite half-bracelet draped over my wrist, I love to intimidate my opponent by flashing them two face cards.

There's a lot going on with the shapes in that image. It seems like a good example of how the algorithms parse a scene.
Midjourney V7 claims to be much more consistent at generating things like hands that don't look strange.
Beneath an image of strange fucking hands.
That's not a handout photo from Midjourney, so it's entirely possible that with so many problems, it was used intentionally to convey the state of the art in a way words can't on this topic.
I've definitely engaged in some editorial shenanigans when I knew a source was full of shit but didn't have the option of spiking. I've also intentionally run such pieces with a recast angle subtly calling out the bullshit.
