Faux (fake) photo. Fauxto. Pronounced the same as "photo". A fauxto is a piece of art, often digital and often generative, designed in such a way to look like an actual photo, rather than a drawing/painting/ect. (So it's not real.)
Originally coined, particularly for generative art, by SmirkingDesigns (in 2023) with the intent to communicate "not real" in one word that would be understood.

I know this Sailor Moon holiday Barbie is gorgeous, but please remember it's just a fauxto - not real!

Get the Fauxtomug. A SmokeScreenShot is a piece of art designed to look like it is simply a screencap or still taken from a TV show, movie, or even video game. Originally coined by SmirkingDesigns in 2023.
For example, if one shows stills from an imagining of if Tim Burton made Star Wars, and it looked like they legitimately come directly from a show or something, those would be SmokeScreenShots.
This is a mashup of the word "Smokescreen", which is something generally used to obscure, and "Screenshot". Also can be known as a "SmokeScreenCap".
