I don't see how this is any different than a strawman political cartoon. It's a misleading image created to ratchet up people's emotions. Like it's bad, but is it a new kind of bad? I'm not so sure.
The cartoon plays with the emotions like the ai image, but the important difference is that people won't mistake the cartoon for documentation of something that happened.
The cartoon is a fairy tale, that AI image is a lie - the distinction is important.
