I hate how much time I spend thinking “is this slop or not?” these days.

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.
