For the reporters and AI accusers:
I have reached out to OP and confirmed that they are not a bot. They have posted an explanation here: https://lemmy.world/post/31487746
They were simply trying to give helpful cat tips and were using an unusual writing style which unfortunately came off as LLM generated.
To the several people who reported this post:
This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
The post right below this is when they get a fourth for their group.
Bonus beans:
There isn't anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn't what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it'd be fine for that post's commenters to discuss pizza in general.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don't otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
No need to be sorry. I'd step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.
Plus this isn't the first time a post with an AI image has gotten this kind of response. I just copy-pasted the same comment I made the last time this happened.

Still need help? Which platform?
Bonus boop!
It's all me. Sorry. I'll work on my aim.
Every time I see Bitty I want to boop her black nose. She's so cute!

Bonus boop:
I sat a toy on her head and she let it sit there for a long while. She didn't seem to mind or even notice it.
Link for those that haven't seen it. It's such a beautiful song and a cute music video.
