Is it AI generated comb?
Also, where are my nerd facts?
wtf there is no ai in this, this is just a seal that got its fur rubbed the wrong way on its head
Everybody knows fur is a Deep State psyop, this image is clearly fake. Nice try, the Government!
Maybe I'm just getting paranoid about it. First time I see their fur unaligned, and the rest of the picture is so smooth…
If not AI I guess it just hopped out of the water and the care giver made their hair before taking the picture.
Seals look smooth but they have fur.
Always forget about this. That the tragedy of seeing the world through internet and mostly picture.
the video i took this frame from was probably re-encoded a few times till it found me...i assume maybe someone upscaled/smoothed it at some point to remove increasing re-encoding artifacts
Oh there is a whole video ? Can you share please, I'm sure everyone love to see them walk around.

I went through this scenario reading that piece on new ways of calculating pi. Did you see that? Pretty cool nerd fact.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/string-theorists-accidentally-find-a-new-formula-for-pi/
I don't really care about PI, and I think I saw this one last year (and kinda forgot about it).
But the fact is still interesting, the article show the equation and how it related to another one with depth while still being comprehensible.
Nerd snipped, thanks!
Same with the AI thing -- my poor brain is so primed to see it. The little dude looks so strange here though lmao
I think there was another image, maybe a political cartoon, where a dude had like six fingers and another had a cut-off leg (misdrawn, not amputated). It even had a color pallate close to the standard AI comic scheme. It came from way before generative AI, though.
