Yeah, there aren’t any real tells. All the text is as legible as it should be and there’s even a half- cut shipping label on the box. Never seen AI do anything that specific. The plaid pattern on his shirt is also consistent and coherent.
I’m tired of everything being labeled AI without any real evidence to back it up. I get that a lot of things actually are AI, but every time we discredit a real image as AI, that means it’s winning just a little bit more.
There are also many pictures of the same quality (they look like AI but I can’t tell why). I don’t know, looking at this page, I’d lean on AI, but it’s surprisingly well made.
The lighting and shadows are consistent around every object.
The color palette lacks the AI piss-tone.
The faint washed-out silhouette through the window isn’t common in generated images.
The box in the bottom right is clearly sliced with a boxcutter. The tape on the side of the box lines up with the cut section on the raised flap (running under the shipping label).
The JPEG compression artficacting wouldn’t be present on output straight from AI.
What makes me think it’s AI is the cat’s fur is kinda fuzzy and out of focus in a way AI often does but I don’t see in real pictures. The one visible horizontal drawer handle (left of his head, or to his right) looks warped in a strange way. While it could just be a defective or warped handle, the whole thing just has this strange off-ness to it. It’s almost been deep fried and it feels like it was to hide AI artifacting/tells
The horizontal door handle looks weird because it’s catching sunlight through the window in a way that’s making it look similar in color to the white paint background, and there’s subtle banding around the cat that makes it look disjointed from the background.
Both are classic JPEG compression artifacts, not AI.
The shape of the handle is weird, the lighting doesn’t change that. You can also see the jpg artifacting around the edges of the handle that help define the weird shape
Tbf it’s immediately obvious to me, but I can’t pin it on a single thing. The pose, the overly perfect lighting, the nonsensical tool box, tools and spare parts, the expression.
AI slop unfortunately
Well, damn it, I guess we can’t have nice things (aka real cat memes) anymore. I’ll delete it.
How can you tell? I didn’t take a really close look but are there details or more that you’re able to sense it?
Maybe the contrast is too crisp and the lightning on the toola on the ground feels weird?
I also mostly can’t see if a pic is slop or not.

It also screams AI to me but can’t pinpoint why.
Trying to find the image source, there’s a watermark on the bottom left coming from a Facebook page called Cat Overlords. This should be the original post (assuming they didn’t just slap their watermark on an existing picture): https://www.facebook.com/cat.overlords/photos/150-service-call-and-my-cat-found-her-soulmate-unbelievable/122163713072872435/
This page has many obvious AI posts like https://www.facebook.com/cat.overlords/photos/shelter-cats-watch-people-come-and-go-every-day-they-see-other-cats-leave-with-f/122163988070872435/

Completely agreed.
Not AI.

Nah, that’s just the camera trying to auto-sharpen.

As someone else who gets sloppy vibes from this, these are my indicators
I’m not quite willing to call it slop, but something is off
That Y joint isn’t a real plumbing part, either
3 adjustable wrenches/ spanners for a drain job.
Drain pipe goes off horizontal with no visible angle to drain standing water from it.
The tool box feels more like what an electrician would carry around rather than a plumber with pipe cutters, Teflon tape, O rings and such.
Spanners and wrench don’t look like they’d fit in the tool box.
Where’s the pvc glue for the piping.
Not disputing AI-ness, but:
It might be more than a drain job, most likely installing a dishwasher where there’s been none before. The weird Y would be an addition
The horizontal pipe connects to the left side if the double sink
The tool box is general purpose, something to throw tools into from a tool chest in the truck
No PVC glue or tape because the fittings are compression
Tbf it’s immediately obvious to me, but I can’t pin it on a single thing. The pose, the overly perfect lighting, the nonsensical tool box, tools and spare parts, the expression.
The perfectly cut Amazon package on the bottom right…
NOBODY can cut cardboard that perfectly. Factories specialising in cardboard production struggle to get that kind of cut.
Tape away from Amazon smile
Just gone
