That is no doubt true in some cases, but I find time and again that various organizations --- businesses and even religious entities --- use Facebook as their sole means of Internet presence, seemingly because, as you note, it doesn't require web expertise and is free.  That was fine until TPTB at Facebook decided to do this "three scrolls and bomb out" thing.

This would be a golden opportunity for someone to come along with a type of free web hosting that works like Facebook, has the same look and feel, but allows anyone to use it, whether logged in or not, without such limitations.
It's also due to search engine placement. The FB page for a business will often appear higher in Google results than their actual website. A business trying to compete with that isn't going to succeed without some major change in Google's search results.

It's not just the fingers. It's the way his whole "arm" and "hand" is positioned. Just look at it!

Yikes!!! I didn't even notice that until I looked at it again after you mentioned it. That's freakish!! Thanks a lot, Matthew, that's going to give me nightmares now! :trollface:

AI gets things *so* wrong sometimes. Not surprising, considering ZERO intelligence is involved...
Clearly the boy broke his arm because he was working so hard on the sculpture :laugh1:

... or maybe double-jointed elbows are his secret to sculpting so well.

Yeah, it looks like someone is hiding behind and reaching around him. Also, the boy's face looks a lot like a black Zuck.
