It is beyond me as to how some people cannot discern between CG images, especially one that is clearly blatantly obvious, and one has been on this forum for a very long time.

- Start date
Inexperience with CG images and perhaps age of the user contributes to this inability. I would take a wild guess anyone age 45+ will likely have a much harder time distinguishing fake images than anyone in their 20s-30s, and this isn't me being ageist. Fake and AI generated content is far more likely to fool older folks, the older you are the worse it gets.
Stack this with even known content from China is either blurry or AI enhanced, it becomes even worse.
I am flattered knowing that I have the mind younger than the body.
You're getting it mixed up. It's India that calls its fighter jets warbirds.
I do genuinely wonder what are the chances of H-20 actually making it's debut in the near future. Most people considered credible has become rather evasive when it comes to H-20 recently and much less specific. Maybe further delays? Though, this year is also the last year of the 14th 5YP.
Maybe it is possible it just got delayed? It not like China has not executed very well on a wide variety of different and unexpected manned and unmanned platforms since the H-20 rumours started! Maybe the requirements changed, or maybe the priority for such an aircraft is viewed as lower then previously assumed.
Reliable sources like Yankee have subtly mentioned a time around the end of this year to the beginning of next year.
However, compared to the rumors about sixth-generation fighter jets last year, this year's information comes from relatively few sources and lacks verification from multiple parties.
Obviously, the Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has stricter confidentiality.
Most military fans on the Chinese internet are speculating about another 'Christmas gift'. But this time we really can't get a more accurate prediction.
