I think what makes this pic look strange is the phone was placed exactly between the sun and the dog so almost no shadows.

It’s slobberin time
Still trying to figure out if this is a real picture or not. The shadows are all over the place. Sun and one flash, easy. But why is there another shadow on the tongue? And what about the ground?
Never seen a dog get seriously excited?
did AI kill your father or something? most people just see a dog and owner posted and move on. its not normal to be so obsessed with rooting out AI.
The person that took the picture said the same thing, mate. AI was not mentioned, and they are rather good with shadows usually.
The person that took the picture said the same thing. This boi and pic are real.

~~I don't think this was taken during the day at all, I bet this was taken at night under a porch light or something.~~ Actually nvm, this could've been taken in the day, but there's definitely some unnatural light in the pic, probably from camera flash. Ground looks fine, if anything all the dry patches and non-grass vegetation I think would be arguments against it being ai. I see no evidence this is ai at all
Y'all people scared of AI sound like a bunch of medieval witch hunters
Good god it's the Spanish Inquisition around here. BURN THE AI! BUUURN IT! I got problems with AI, but these people, Jesus fucking Christ.

Yeah, but ya killed it.
You next heretic!
Sorry that I try to flight made up bullshit (regardless of who it made up or spreads it).
Made up bullshit can be amusing. Seriously concerned about AI, for a dozen reasons, but JFC, y'all need to calm down.
Anyway, here's a pic of my wife in the style of Robotech. Bring the hate.
I did not even mention AI, who needs to calm down?
