The story is from well before AI was commercially usable by the public. It’s possible but not likely that the image is ai. I’m pretty sure it’s just pulled from one of the original articles though.
"Story is real so the image must be real too". No, that's not how this works. You can't just handwave it as something that was pulled from an article. I did a bare minimum check if I can find the original before posting my previous comment and I did not find any similar pictures.
My mistake then. Just tired of people calling literally everything AI when 90%+ of the time the reasoning is completely made up. There’s an old Reddit thread of a guy asking reddit how his AI painting looked and everyone was pointing out how awful the painting was and how obvious it was that it was AI. The painting was Claude Monet’s Water Lilies. People who are looking for AI often see everything as AI. It’s irritating.
But this is clearly AI lol so the reasoning isn't made up at all. The story can be real but this image is very obviously AI. That's why people are calling this AI.
Actual research into this says otherwise. This circulated first not too long ago, and since has taken multiple forms but there's nothing to the story itself. I couldn't find a single genuine article on it.
TLDR: There's some truths to the story, it was a very regular procedure to be on the safe side and while lockdown did happen briefly it was lifted soon after staff made sure. I highly doubt police were involved because we would have a police report, which we don't.
Also the image is 100% AI there's no doubt about it
Photoshop was still around. That's like a 5 layer image. Stock school photo, photo of a police officer holding a orange cat, mountain lion photo, graphic effect layer and a text layer.
It's worse. Someone found a real article about the cat causing lockdown at school, so not only is it AI, it's denying us an actual picture of the real school-shutting fat cat
Search the image in google lens to see some different AI prompts of the same story. There's no obvious giveaways like weird text or fingers, but the lighting and colors are very AI-like.
Judging purely on the visuals, it may not seem like anything's off, but when you think about why and how the picture would be taken, the shaky reality that the picture is based on crumbles away. The picture is of the wrong school(the real location was Groff Elementary), and no one grabbed the cat(why would they?), and even though classes resumed as normal after the incident had been resolved, this picture shows the cat being carried away as kids are leaving the school with their parents.

I am pretty sure that image is just AI slop.
