Is this that image of a dead tuna that an AI labeled as an "xray of lungs" is something?

I don't understand the meme. The figure is from a paper about false positive readings in MRIs, using a dead salmon supposedly thinking, and the meme is suggesting... the fish was alive?

Not much context + vague point = poor excuse for a meme.

Add the context that this is a dead salmon, then claim that salmon are immortal of something, idk.

thanks for the explanation. i guess it really doesn't work as a meme if I've doesn't happen to know this particular image.
