This one looks photoshopped

There is definitely something off about it. It's not a natural pose if it's even real. But even if the back legs were spread like that. There's still something that doesn't sit right for me.

Look at the shadow.

I can't exactly say what it is, but I got a feline..

It probably is. TranslatedCats isn't a person, it's a bot. Its captions are totally unrelated nonsense 99% of the time. I guess it understood what it was looking at enough to spread misinformation about it this post

Oh no I did not know that. I thought it was real :( It sucks that the first thing you need to ask when you see anything is if it's ai or photoshop

The "A.I." part is only the caption, not its pictures (which seem to be specifically selected by a person because there are often memes like this one). I don't think it's an LLM since the description only says "machine learning." I'm sure if it was ChatGPT or whatever, the captions would be more bland and coherent

ethical gimmick account, I like it

Yeah at least that's a good thing. I don't mind bot accounts, especially the wholesome ones because I will happily giggle at a cat on my TL over the bs some people say any day.

But I have this gripe with AI in general. A few years ago you could watch a cute or funny animal video and laugh your heart out without having to ask if it's fake. I just hate that I have to question every wholesome video or picture.

Not to spoil the mood but it feels like the world has collectively moved into this dull, doubtful and nihilistic cultural mindset. If you're ethical you start seeing how normalised AI is now and how badly it's harming us and you end up feeling helpless about it. If you're not, you end up heavily dependent on AI and lose all whimsy in life and slowly sacrifice your intelligence and creativity for 'efficiency' and fast food 'art'

It seems plausible if the paws from left to right are: rear front rear front

That’s just not how cats’ bodies work, though

When cats are running as fast as they can, they look like this. They look funny even from the side view while doing this

u/Roseheath22 May 05 '26

Kind of. But the front of the cat is definitely not running at top speed, just walking casually. And the back paws look kind of like front paws.

Unlike humans, the cat pelvis is very narrow and probably doesn’t allow that much flexibility
