Chat, is this real? The cats look too slay.
They have the proper number of beans. But the light reflections/shadows look off. Old school photoshop?
Good catch on the reflection
I believe it is AI because cats are adorable, but this is too much. That's just a huntch...
I do want to take everybody's attention to the third wheel on bottom left. It feels oddly placed.
That just looks like one of the two wheels on the other half of a hardshell suitcase.
Yeah, but i feel it is oddly placed, like it should be more in the left
the eyes and ears feel wrong, but i can't place it for sure. that third wheel in the bottom left is sus, and the fur on the right side cat on it's tummy is a little too blended, as are it's back feets. i think it's probably ai, but it may just be some motion blurring on the cat, a shitty filter for the eyes, and a matching suitcase beside the pictured one for the wheel. it's a high quality ai fake if it is one.
well... looking closer before submitting and the mesh fabric, zipper, the detail on the latches on the right, the straight line of the counter and the cabinets behind all look good and real. actually i'm pretty sure this i not ai, i doubt any could get all that stuff so clean. i think it must just be a tiktok filter or the like doing some softening and blending on the eyes and some motion blur on the fur.
edit: lmao now i can't be sure either way. the cabinet/counter/wall at the back/top of the pic is confusing. is this a counter the suitcase is on? why is there another counter just a few inches behind this one? there appears to be some sort of power cable on the top right going nowhere under the edge of the back counter? i am confusion.
The thing in the top of the image is definitely weird. But honestly I think it's just a real image. Too many small details like the mesh of the suitcase that I wouldn't expect gen AI to get right. I think the third wheel on the right makes sense tbh. It's probably just a suitcase with 4 wheels that's folded open. Due to the perspective it looks a little offset but that's reasonable. I'm not a 100% sure tho, it's hard to tell sometimes these days
Google "Z-Image-Turbo", the latest local ai image gen model. It absolutely will do these little details. But I'm pretty sure this image is real regardless
They might be ragdoll type cats, named that way because they tend to flop and relax when picked up instead of trying to regain control or aceept it but hate it like other cats.
