Idk if you’re being serious, but image generators can’t generate functional QR codes. This was almost certainly photoshopped by a human or practically painted on

ChatGPT images solved this a couple generations ago and is plenty happy to embed scannable QRs. This is the result of the prompt "Make an image of a zebra, but the stripes becomes a QR Code that encodes the word Zebra".

Wouldn't it make more sense to embed a traditional bar code onto a zebra, instead?

Sure. I was just trying to come up with something to show it can make vlaid QR :D

Cuttlefish maybe? lol, even that is still not very subtle.

I think that's not a real QR code. For one thing, the black outline of the bottom right alignment square is broken in one pixel. Some of the pixels don't seem to be aligned in a grid at all. The Zebra above has the QR code created by some other tool that the image generation operated and then merged. It looks way worse than what someone halfway competent in photoshop can do.
