Honestly, it doesn’t look like AI to me. Funnily enough I think it’s exactly what the other reply said and it’s just badly photoshopped text on an existing image. But I do think their reasons for thinking it’s real are pretty terrible, and I still think the things I listed are sus, as they don’t look like typical artifacting to me.
In particular the detail on the ceiling in the background is quite clear and the spacing between the lights is consistent, and most other details seem to check out (the guy’s watch and clothes, people and stands in the background, veins on their hands, etc).
As a whole I would say it looks a bit uncanny just because of their poses and facial expressions, plus the weird design of the sign.
From left to right:
The pattern on the tie is nonsensical and quite noisy
The edge of the sign above and below the man’s arm is discontinuous. It’s parallel but it “breaks”
The man’s ring is constricting the fuck out of his finger, and is also slightly offset from the finger’s position and angle
Same as 2 but horizontally
Ignoring that other person(?)'s garbage response, it’s a good breakdown and explanation

This is pretty clearly a real image that’s be photoshopped to change the words on the sign.
