I was doubting if this is ai or not but I honestly think the image is too deviated from the norm that it must be not genai.
e.g. the table is coated with carpet (cat tower kinda thing), wipes box on the table
there's also a reflection of the cat in the spoon and marks on the carpet from the spoon being dragged over it which both are amounts of detail I wouldn't expect genai to put in
That's the weird thing. Some details do add up, Fi the diffraction in the glass. However I haven't seen any car dit like that, not is the size of the cutlery (nor the location) on point. The location of the glasses is also not where you would put them.
The inner ones look normal to me, and it's normal that the outer one is larger, though maybe it's excessively large here, but that could be due to the angle.
Also the way the fork seems to be making a dent in the surface (that dark shadow under the neck of the fork) but nothing else is, and in general the fork just looks superimposed.
And something just isn't right with the cat..
You make some good points, but I'm also leaning towards ai.
