Very unlikely IMO. One speech bubble is the mirror image of the other with a different aspect ratio, which suggests human editing to me. I can't see any GenAI hallmarks.
Edit: I wasn't aware how much this comic style is typified in AI image generation. I've changed my wager - bar the speech bubble edits, this is probably AI.
My only guess here is that someone manually added the text because AI is usually terrible at adding that, but I’m guessing it’s nearly certainly AI generated
Thanks - did my own reverse image search off the back of this and it's mad how many similar images exist. Like you say, I think in this case the text has been edited in, but I agree it does seem likely that the only other human intervention was artists having their style stolen.
It didn't jump out right away as AI to me because it's a bit blurry and has almost pure white speech bubbles. Notice all the other AI examples have that dirty yellowish tint over everything. The weird hand up gesture by the robot combined with how much it looks like the other AI comics clinches it, though, and the speech bubbles are white because someone edited them in. Good sleuthing!
Apropos
Dr. Zoidberg was an AI?

An actual human did that to my dad
Situs inversus is a condition where your organs are mirrored internally compared to the majority of humans. Most people don’t know they have it until they have appendicitis or break a rib or need chest xrays.
Is single-port laparoscopic an option for an appendectomy? That'd put an incision on the left.
There's also situs inversus.
This is just fucking AI. What are we even doing here? Stop fucking posting it!
is that image 404 now? can't seem to access it, even with the direct url
It's a bug in Lemmy, every so often it just refuses to show images for no reason at all. Try shift-reload.
it's there now, thanks
just odd that it wasn't available from your servers image cache when I wrote that
Yeah, I have no idea what the underlying cause might be. It seems like a strange kind of bug to have.
I can see it
