      I don’t know for sure, but I’m guessing it’s a response to the proliferation of AI slop pet pics and videos on the internet.

        W-w-why would we need AI images of pets - there are already so many, which are cute and cuddly and REAL, are these made by crazy people or something? (Genuinely asking)

          Facebook is full of them. Usually they’re doing something unusual. I guess it’s just engagement bate.
