You missed the post script:

“(note: the flat Earth theory was recently discredited by the simple observation that if the Earth was flat, cats would have knocked everything off the edge by now.)”

I use AI. I have caught it making critical mistakes quite often. In general, it beats an ordinary search engine.

A spec on a digital imaging sensor would in no way show up as a three dimensional shape. It would be a dark spot in the image, a place where the object occludes the sensor.

The ONLY WAY to have an image artifact with defined edges and detail within is for the object to be outside of the camera body and at least the focal length away from the center of mass of the lens. This is physics.

I'd suggest that the AI is merely towing the government line.
