How much did Bill Gates pay for Bliss? ChatGPT: “Microsoft paid photographer Charles O’Rear a confidential amount for the Windows XP wallpaper “Bliss,” but it is widely reported to have been in the “low six figures,” meaning over $100,000.” Charles should have asked for MS stock instead. “In 2005, Facebook offered David Choe about $60,000 to paint murals at its office.

Isn't there debate in the community that this photo was actually altered and that he has been lying about it?
It was shot on Velvia slide film. Knowing that emulsion you either expose it just right and it looks gorgeous or you over/underexpose and the details are gone and can’t be brought back.

People don’t realize that there’s no such thing as an “unedited photo” because either you’re making decisions in the darkroom or the software/firmware is making decisions in the camera.
On some level, they chose the real image that appeared to be a synthetic image.
I stumbled onto MSN for a story about Bears in a sanctuary who had overhead ropes (horizontally laid), and what a difference it had made.
Actually, I don't remember the story that well. What I do remember is that MSN story used a GEN AI image. Fake bears, fake rope. There, of course, are real photos available.
But MS want that automation, dont want to pay writers, or editors, and don't want to pay royalties or seek permission for photographs.
Is this OK for your kids?

I’m a bit confused about the claim that the image was altered. Sometimes skies look like that and grass looks like that and (the right) film is more than capable of capturing that with the appropriate saturation. Especially Velvia. Velvia is probably even cranking up the saturation, to levels you would not see like that with the naked eye. Here is a landscape photographer showing their own favorite Velvia photographs…
I always thought it was selected because it references the curve and most of the colours of the old Windows logo.
