Definitely not AI lol

Current gen image generators are still horrible at creating accurate fur and even more horrible at interactions between hair and a complicated medium such as snow. Considering the complete lack of recent progress in AI image generation it will probably not be possible to generate images like this for a long while.

Photographer Dominic Marcoux captured these stunning photographs at Granby Zoo in Granby, Quebec, Canada.

Thanks for correcting me. I was suspicious about it, so I consulted wasitai, and it returned it being ai generated.

wasitai.com returns true if you upload the image, and false if you provide the link to that exact same image 🤣
