If you look in the middle of the body the cows are crocheted together, it isn’t 2 separate dolls. There is also a lot pixel clumping particularly in the nose. My husband has built several AI’s and I had him look at it, he pointed out the pixel clumping and explained how the diffusion works and also said it looked like the degraded the image quality to hide some things. He also explained that you can get hyper realistic results like this depending on what kind of data set the AI is using, which you can get online for free to feed in to an AI to make it better, which is what he does to get realistic results out of his AI. There are also areas where the stitching in the round start to face the opposite direction of the stitches around it. Having a hand or not having a hand doesn’t necessarily prove something is or isn’t AI. Idk if you saw my other comment that explained this but you can have a starter photo for an AI to use and base itself off of. I posted a photo there and I’ll leave it here as well, my husband agreed that it was likely the source image used based on the face of the cow and the face. AI is not creative, it won’t swap out the eyes for safety eyes. It is possible they used multiple source images.
But even if it is real and they stole the image offline from somewhere obscure, the way the conversation was going was enough of a red flag regardless. I asked for a pattern, they sent images and insisted it was a pattern even after explaining it wasn’t a pattern, then made excuses as to why they couldn’t show me where they got the image. Those are far more important than whether it is or isn’t AI.
