That look is either:

I'm the greatest hero who ever lived.

Or

Where have I lost that single braincell I used earlier to bark at the treat that fell to the ground and scared me.

That second example is based on my dog... Sigh

What in the poster model fudge is this gorgeous dog! Hang that on a wall by all means!

Why bring that AI generated rubbish here? There is no shortage of adorable/ photogenic dogs out there

Well I brought that "AI generated rubbish" here because it, well, isn't AI generated. It's an image from 2018. Good luck finding an AI that was able to generate an image this clear and good 6 years ago.

Just because the image has something that you don't quite recognize or understand, or an artifact that looks odd, or hair out of place, that doesn't mean that it is AI. I'd also appreciate it if you could bother to do a reverse image search before you claim that I'm posting AI art.

Source image.

I stand corrected. Sorry for jumping in there all guns blazing.

Comments like this are why I like Lemmy more than I ever enjoyed reddit.

I do elearning multimedia and run in to AI schlock all the time and hate it. With the background and soft-focus I can see why you thought what you did. While AI would have done good with the dog's face etc, details like the leash clasp would have probably been just poorly defined shapes or complete nonsense. That's the stuff I key in on...

Thanks, i appreciate it. Was a poor call by me, though, i should have at least done some checking before accusing the poor guy.
