The author of the article has a lot of balls posting not one but two AI-generated pictures of the people he supposedly interviewed. The one of "retired U.S. Army veteran Brad Thompson" is particularly egregious. https://www.cbc.ca/radiointeractives/content/images/Brad-Tho...
I'm curious as to how you think the photos of Thompson and Gillen are AI-Generated. I did a reverse image search just to double check, and the only existence of the photos are on the cbc site.
The author listed the photos of his interviewees as supplied by themselves.
Because the pictures are bizarre. Take a look at the one I linked to - his chin line merges with his neck. The bags under his eyes are weird. He looks like he is added on to the background. And the background itself is super weird.
The other one that I think is generated is the picture of "Pop culture critic Ian Williams". Gillen's is ok.

The reverse image search didn't return anything precisely because they are generated. Search for the other image - that of the writer Kieron Gillen. You'll find it.
