I think it's a photograph that someone applied a filter to (possibly AI "Neural" filters but probably just something from the filter gallery) to make it seem like someone painted it, and did a lousy masking job. AI would have blended it better and done better shadows.
Yeah, that's likely; some kind of "painting" filter applied to a few different photos. AI would've had more details and more accurate shadows, but also six fingers like Maryte pointed out.

But then they would have had (at least) six fingers on each hand...
and the very poorly-rendered figures in the foreground look like AI (crude outlines, muddled details, etc.)

It looks like a very bad paste-up job with AI added. The "Uncle Sam" portion is from a WWII poster (note the 48-star flag) painted by N.C. Wyeth, to promote buying war bonds. Oddly, the soldiers in the original are wearing helmets that the US army wore in WWI, the the British were still wearing that style in WWII. The very poorly-rendered figures in the foreground of the new one look like AI (crude outlines, muddled details, etc.)
mentality, method, mode, means. All representing something far darker than the lame comedic attempt.
Sorry I don't know what that means but James Montgomery Flagg something something. This is so shitty I don't even think AI could have done it. Some lazy staffer who "knows Canva."

In the new one, Uncle Sam's left hand, the identical helicopter silhouettes replacing bomber plane silhouettes, and the very poorly-rendered figures in the foreground look like AI (crude outlines, muddled details, etc.)
