Reverse image search flagged my old profile pic as a bot, that was a fun rabbit hole

So I was checking out that viral account that keeps posting sunset photos with weird captions, and I ran its profile pic through Google Lens just for kicks. Turns out the same exact image was used in like 30 other profiles across different platforms, all with different names. But get this, it also flagged MY old avatar from a forum I used in 2019. That image was a screenshot I took myself of a game I played. The lesson here? These bot detectors are sloppy. I spent an hour comparing timestamps and metadata, and my pic was the original. The bot accounts just copied mine somehow. Has anyone else had their real content get mislabeled by these tools?
