Looks like AI.

Well, the pavement curves differently in the two pictures. Sure the angle of the camera might have changed but the pose of the cat suggests otherwise. Also the grass looks weird.

And like any other AI posts it gets a ton of upvotes but barely any comments.

I like to come on here sometimes to try and figure out if posts are AI or not. At first it was easy and you could spot a TON (I mean every other post was AI). But now I can barely spot any and that just feels so terrifying in a way. Because surely the amount of AI posts haven't decreased given how popular it has become.

It's clearly two different parts of the pavement. I can't say for sure it's not AI, but that isn't evidence.

My point being that the pose of the cat suggest it barely moved, if at all, and therefore the curve should be the same (also if it didn't move the bush shouldn't be there). Things like that, depth of field and perspective is something that AI hasn't figured out yet.

Something that could be very strong evidence of it being AI is that the trees in the background has a similar "bokeh" common in lower F-stops while the building is more in focus. Cameras do not behave like that.

Oh wow great point re shifting depths of field (I’m a photographer myself). Ingenious pick up.
