    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with all of these comments talking about this as if it’s a real photo and not AI slop looks like complete shit. Are the comments AI generated spam too? Are they just stupid? Am I AI generated spam?

      I looked into it a little using TinEye and the image predates generative AI images of this quality. I actually think it’s a photoshopped normal cat; possibly as part of that weird trend of making some small detail of a normal photo look freakish.

      Worse than being AI, this is a newish designer breed called a highland lynx, and the polydactyl, curled ear tips, and manx tail are traits they are breeding for.

      Unfortunately, its not very ethical to breed for these traits, especially the manx tail, which can cause cats to be born incontinent.

      I don’t think this is AI generated spam. There is apparently a real breed of cat that looks like this. I think you need to be less paranoid, this is lemmy.

      Polydactyly is not uncommon in feral cats, but I have no information about the provenience of the photo.

      I am not AI spam. I am sometimes stupid.
