ChatGPT/s analysis:

It looks like a natural rock formation, not an AI-generated image — but the photo has been edited for presentation, including the arrow, text, and the inset painting of Mary.

Here’s what I can say based on the image itself:

✅ What appears real

• The “face” you see on the rock has the irregular texture, lighting, and randomness typical of natural stone.

• There are no obvious AI-generation artifacts (warped textures, repeating patterns, melting edges, etc.).

• The face resembles a case of pareidolia—the human tendency to see faces in natural patterns.

❗What is edited

• The graphic design overlay (arrow, text, logo, inset image of Mary) is clearly added afterward.

• The inset painting is a standard classical depiction of the Virgin Mary and is not part of the rock.

🧭 Conclusion

The rock photo itself is likely real, but:

• The “face” is almost certainly a natural coincidence, not sculpted or AI-made.

• The poster around it is digitally edited for social media.
