Back in the day you’d just assume it was Photoshop. At least then someone would have put some effort in

I hate how much time I spend thinking “is this slop or not?” these days. I’m leaning towards slop here.

I know, I regularly find myself thinking the same thing. :( I hate it so much… especially for cute/funny animal pictures. Ugh.
As for this image, I did a reverse image search via TinEye, and the earliest it found it was in an Imgur post in January 2019. I don’t think the tools were available and good enough at that time, so I think it’s not generative AI slop, but someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

I use 2022 as the cutoff year for me. Before that it is either genuine, or photoshopped.
