If you're getting bent out of shape about a photo of someone with dementia not looking like they did a few years ago, you need to give your head a wobble.
Just because you're uncomfortable facing reality, doesn't mean you can pile in.
Dementia is a cruel disease.

A split-screen image showcasing the 'Sketch to print quality in seconds' feature of ChatGPT 4.0. The left side displays the text 'Sketch to print quality in seconds' and 'ChatGPT 4.0' against a dark background. The right side shows two images: the top image is a simple line drawing of a building with a clock tower and multiple windows. Below it is the output image, a colourful, clean illustration of the same building, now with orange walls, a blue roof, and a visible clock face, demonstrating the improvement in quality. A text box between the two images reads: 'Take this terrible line drawing and tidy it up so it looks clear, professional and colourful. Make it print quality
