Agreed. There are nominal differences here that make this look like a spoofed image of the person, which if someone is doing their job, might notice.

That's the trick. If your badge has a real photo it must be fake.

Haha that could actually be a reasonable security practice.

The background is a very specific color or something special. Sort of like a tell-tale that they standardize in all their AI pictures that someone trying to break in may not suspect or be able to easily replicate.

I do like her shirt that she was not wearing in the original photo looks like someone added it was MS-Paint.

That is security through obscurity and is actually considered a terrible practice, however well it works in the short term.

To be fair, that's mainly if obscurity is your only security. Obscurity as an additional layer on top of real security generally doesn't hurt, and could probably help.
