The mother Giraffe was being very affectionate and rubbing her face on the young giraffe. I just kept snapping photos until I got this one, where they looked like they were sharing a special moment together.
Is this real or AI generated?
It's real. Taken with my Pixel 7. I wouldn't even know how to generate photos with AI. I have never looked into it.
Dude. Zoom in on that photo you posted -- I think your phone used some kind of scripting to mess with the image.
You need to go buy a separate camera.
The Pixel series has a ton of postprocessing integrated into the photography. It usually results in something people find eye-popping, but I suppose this is the inevitable result when it sees something unfamiliar.
