From memory yes. I can’t find the image, but the discussion of dinosaurs getting lifted by tornados can be seen seriously (with finger quotes) asked “to scientists” on multiple forums (Facebook, WordPress sites, quora…) from 10 to 12 years ago, so the joke was making the rounds.
I do see the “less than 6 months old” resurgence of that image, extended with extra shit on the side that was clearly added much more recently my dumb, so that may be why you’re seeing it as slop, I’m guessing someone revived it with that slop.
ETA: this one is from 2023 and it’s the extended version, so not AI touch up either after all. Also has the artist name, Douglas Henderson, and it is in fact vintage art. So yeah, easy on the AI false positive.
Edit again: looking at a bigger screen, OP might have an upscaled version, but that’s less surprising.
Or maybe you look at what you want and close your eyes to the things that need fixing and they leave alone or make actively worse.
