The internet did what it always does best. It lost its mind over a photo of Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark.
A photo started making the rounds showing Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Caitlin Clark all seated like friends after ‘playing together’ as Team USA. Same jerseys. Same team vibes. Same “how did this happen?” energy. Fans were shocked. Comment sections exploded. Group chats went into emergency mode.
While it is true they are all playing together for Team USA right not, there was one problem.
The photo was fake!
Yes, it was AI-generated. Not real. Not even close. Just another example of technology waking up and choosing chaos.
At first glance, the image looked convincing. The lighting was right. The jerseys matched. The faces were close enough to make you squint and say, “Wait a second…” And that’s all AI needs. One second of doubt. One scroll without thinking. Boom. Viral moment achieved!

Angel Reese fans were already celebrating imaginary rebounds. Paige Bueckers supporters were praising her court vision in a game that never happened. Caitlin Clark fans were counting points she did not score. It was basketball fan fiction, but with pixels.
Then reality showed up like an annoying referee.
People started asking questions. Why are the numbers wrong? Why does one arm look slightly longer than humanly possible? The truth slowly came out. AI had cooked up a dream lineup and served it to the internet with confidence.
The good news is this: by all reports, they are getting along as teammates.
The bad news is this. AI is getting scary good. And the internet is still very bad at slowing down.
So next time you see a photo that feels too perfect, take a breath. Look twice. And maybe check the fingers.
Because if Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Caitlin Clark ever actually take a photo together. You won’t need AI to tell you.
