I fess up that those posts where there’s a photo of an adorable baby animal and it’s actually a stuffed toy? I fall for it, and that really bugs me because I want to acknowledge artist and toy for being cool.

Thinking of this because an AI image (which I believed at first) got comments about people falling for that. I want to think nature is cool or a clever photo manipulation is cool, and really don’t like the reminder that we live in another age of Kirov disappearing from photographs.
