It's always been about context and provenance. Who took the image? Are there supporting accounts?
But also, it has always been about the knowlege that no one... Absolutely no one... Does lines of coke from a woven mat floor covering.
Here is a famous faked photo of fairies from 1917 -> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies
Lots of obviously fake tipoffs in this one. The overall scrawny bitch aesthetic, the fact she is wearing a club/bar wrist band, the bottle of Mom Party Select™ wine, and the persons thumb/knee in the frame... All those details are initially plausible until you see the shitty AI artifacts.
All the details you just mentioned are also present in the unaltered photo though. Only the "drugs" are edited in.
Didn't read the article, did you?
This is an AI-edited photo, and literally every "artifact" you pointed out is present in the original except for the wine bottle. You're not nearly as good as spotting fakes as you think you are - nobody is
This comment is pure gold, you are already fooled but think you have a discerning eye, you are not immune to propaganda.
