The Cottingley Fairies was a hoax in the early 1900's where two cousins "photoshopped" fairies into photographs of themselves.
Photography was new enough that something like this had never happened before.
The Fairies were so convincing that it fooled the author of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, and he wrote an essay arguing fairies were real.
And this is what I think is happening with Bernie Sanders and AI right now.
