Any particular reason you would say it "looks AI generated"? A quick googling gave me this page that has a whole bunch of different shots of the submarine from a variety of different angles, as well as videos of it moving around. Some of it is likely mockups, some of it may be CGI, but one thing that AI is not particularly good at yet is consistency - that's clearly the same submarine in each shot, the details aren't varying.

While being blurry the background has lots of ships and detail that look "off." The slant of the building was putting me off until I saw that this picture was coming from the UAE which has some wild architecture.

The page you linked from Highland definitely seals the deal that the Kronos is a real device.
