Cutest smiling tiger cub:

17. It's a cute image, but unfortunately it does become more AI slop when mislabeled as a photo, and

there are multiple hashtags on the Bluesky post in the OP calling it a photo.

The image shows a #Siberian-tiger cub #nature #photography #naturephotography #travel #love #photooftheday #instagood #naturelovers #landscape #beautiful #instagram #picoftheday #art #photo #travelphotography #wildlife #like #sunset #mountains #adventure #summer #flowers #follow #happy #sky #explore

The Bluesky account that's from - marvellousnature01.bsky.social - is posting a LOT of AI slop. Some of the posts are weirdly labeled "animal" in addition to the species name. Having so much AI slop there is an insult to nature and photography.

And whoever has the YouTube account the tiger cub image came from should be ashamed of themselves for posting AI stuff to try to trick people.

I won't call them an AI artist. No talent or skill of any type was involved, beyond rejecting video with more obvious flaws. The only reason that tiger cub image is as cute as it is - and it is cute - is that the company that made the image generator stole so many millions of images, both photos and artwork, and those included a lot of photographs and paintings of tiger cubs from people with real talent, and the AI user had video cobbled together from all that training data until that tiny video clip showed up, without any too-obvious AI flaws.
