I've seen this one before, but this one looks like it has a ton of AI artefacts. Is this the original?

JPEG artefacts, maybe, but not AI artefacts. Looks like the original to me.

I can't say for sure, I just grabbed it off the Internet, which has probably been poisoned by AI pictures and search results. I don't remember exactly what the original looks like.
