Thanks for the explanation, I always cringe on AI slop, but do get duped ocasionally. Guess the poor quality and the compression artefacts tricked me this time. Will be more vigilant before posting in the future.

One of the reasons I went to lemmy in the first place is all the AI and invasive Ads on other platforms, ugh.

PS: not taking as a personal attack of course, again, thanks for taking the time to explain, I appreciate it! :)

you think this is AI? looks like someone slapped it together in GIMP quickly? found it on some random facebook group, but given how fb and twitter is overrun with AI crap, you never know? :/
