... is this AI or am I crazy?
Yes. Check out the mega duck top centre of panel 4.
I clocked it straight away... Just something off about panel 3. But this one you really have to look to spot the actual errors. Amazing that my brain somehow knew it wasn't right even before I could figure out why.
Is it AI...? There's a separate pic of the same cat and rubber ducks do come in different sizes, especially if you're aiming for novelty.

I could be wrong, but there are many small details. By "mega duck" I meant there's what seems to be a mutant mound of ducks in the background haha, they all blend into one. There are various weird duck faces, too...
In the one you've linked... What are those things in the background? Top left of the image. Are those sockets? Are cats usually still fluffy underwater, or they go slick like a dog? Idk, I'm not convinced this is real.
Weird rubber duck faces are kind of a rubber duck thing, and the mega duck seems like a pile of various sized ducks.
Considering the bath has a TV screen, I assume it is something electronic but it is too blurry to see. You can have sockets for shaving gear or something more specific. It all looks very Japanese.
Under water hair splays out and floats/waves in the water as pictured, out of water it is slick.
Nothing really leaps out in these pictures to me that says "that's impossible" rather than just unclear due to angle and picture quality. If anything the degree of consistency between each of the separate images gives me more cause to think it is real.
You might be right, actually, I stand corrected! After some hunting I did manage to find this as far back as 2019, and I don't rememberAI image gen being that good back then. Must just be the jpg making it look funky.
I swear I've seen these 4 panels but with a different animal before. I can't put my finger on it ..
