    The way it was discovered was what interested me more. They made a really stupid mistake that should have gotten caught at some point in the process. It’s about as blatant an error as there could be for a clock background image.

      I don’t know why Gizmodo is so fixated on the IIII, which as many people have pointed out is fairly common on clocks. Twitter/X is a nightmare to navigate in a browser, but the much better article on The Verge doesn’t even mention the Roman numeral. The AI origins of the background come from a lot of other evidence.
