It's not, this pic is many years old, way before ai-generation became popular. My guess is it's just shit photoshop by somebody who isn't paid nearly enough to care

Id say it’s a pretty good photoshop because he genuinely looks like he’s holding the ice cream like that

Yes, the way his hand is positioned, it would not have worked if they had wanted to make it hold the wooden stick. They'd have needed to edit the hand too much and it would have likely been noticeable / even weirder.

Probably they decided: f*ck it, let them grab it however they want. Maybe it'll even become a thing.

And it looks like it worked, since we are talking about it and spreading the ad. Smart advertising, imho.
