Yes and no. Its not uncommon to make extreme predictions just for the sake of "What if?". Sometimes it actually helps us find stuff out, sense this is all guess and check anyway.

Ok but has this actually been proposed by an archeologist in accordance with the evidence we have? Is this a possible recreation or has it in effect already been disproven with what we know?

There's a big difference between "in 2024 an archeologist asked an artist to paint this" and "someone on ticktock ai generated this".

Well, its literally signed by the author for starters, and this is a very common thing in paleo-art. ESPECIALLY with something as controversial as spinosaurus. What spinosaurus looked like and how it behaved has been the subject of intense debate and multiple revisions over the last 2 decades.

There is also an unreadable (due to compression) watermark under to it, how would I know it is actually an artists signature?
I assume then it is, and of an artist you recognize to be credible?

The signature is clear, it might be CY. The social media link below it unreadable
