To the several people who reported this post:

This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.

Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.

I appreciate this. It does require some skill to get a good picture like this from AI so there is indeed since skill involved, too, if that matters.

Yeah people act like it's a brainless tool but it only outputs quality based on the users competence and ability to communicate their ideas effectively.

That's in short supply, unfortunately.

Well, AI is a brainless tool, only in the sense that it doesn't work as a substitute for a human brain in the creation process 🌚

not from reddit. slashdot maybe, something awful a while. cat adjacent, be kind is all we ask

Ai gen un'altra should probably be banned in a community like !cats but y'all do y'all

[–] ImpossibilityBox 46 points 10 months ago

I'm in agreement on this one. Fun image but doesn't belong here.

Why? Asking genuinely. This ai pic made me smile. And there's a cat there!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago

I think it belongs to some AI pics generated community. I mean, there isn't actually a cat there. It's okay as long as we are not flooded of AI pics of cats in a couple of days.

So no cat drawings are allowed either?

[–] HiddenLychee 2 points 9 months ago

Fake cats have no place here 😡

/s

I'd go as far as to say that anything that isn't an unaltered picture of a cat that you personally took should be banned.

I'm here for cute cats, not AI wank, not memes, not screenshots of Facebook.

You can tell because the shit would basically be impossible in real life.

[–] rustyredox 14 points 10 months ago

The four eyed fish trivolously gives it away, cuz that ain't no flounder. Also, what cat in its right mind would be stealing a scavenged kill without it tightly secured in its jaws while on the run, let alone clinging a fish to its chest like an anthropomorphic cartoon?

The wide angle composition is kind of cool though, but I prefer photos of real cats.

This is actually a kinda funny ai image

[–] FuglyDuck 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s either AI or they’ve been fishing off Fukushima again. (Fish has extra eyes,)

It’s funny though so I’d allow it. (Probably why I don’t make those decisions,)

[–] xpinchx 9 points 10 months ago

Lol good catch I didn't even notice that.

This is a good use of AI

[–] umulu 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

WTF XD Is that an AI cat overlayed on top of a strange pic?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Probably the whole thing is AI

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

they're innocent
