aren't there actual photographs of this thing? do they still do the courtroom sketch for fun anyway?

Pretty sure cameras, still or motion, are still not allowed in most courtrooms. Our local courthouse requires you to put your cell phone in a locker.
― "The pudding incident?" (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 15:09 (one year ago) link
Not allowed in federal courtrooms either, so it'll be all sketches if Trump ever gets that call.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link
They allowed a couple photographers in before the hearing began, but then booted them... so there are some real photos, but not of the arraignment itself
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 16:14 (one year ago) link
if you were a courtroom sketch artist who couldn't be bothered schlepping all the way to the courthouse, it must have been tempting to just stat at home, wait for the pre-arraignment photographs to appear on twitter and then just base your sketch on them. It's not like anyone's appearance is going to have changed too dramatically in the interim.

what if you specifically ask the AI to make a courtroom sketch of Trump where he looks like the Grinch, though
― soref, Wednesday, 5 April 2023 17:29 (one year ago) link
it would produce something amusing, but far too literal for that prompt
