The theory on The Other Site is what I also agree with: They took #1, fed it into an AI 3D modeler to get #4, fed that image into a 2D style AI model to get #2, and then went back to #4 and used AI in-painting and lazy Photoshop to remove some elements to get #3.

    oh yeah that makes sense, the little bubble window is literally just painted over.

    As well as the weird dark blob where a detail is added in the "final" result. Why would the blob be there? Unless they started with the "final" result and painted it over to get to the "previous" step.

    That and the mangled udders clearly scream AI to me. The original clearly has 4 rockets intended to look like udders. But because of the perspective two of them seem to overlap. So the AI just combined them into one, with a sort of double output? This makes no sense, that's not how rockets work and that's not how udders look. It is exactly how AI works tho.
