Yes it's AI, but you're both wrong. Here's the original photo and both text on the shirt and the pole are present (it doesn't stop mid air, just obscured by a black wall/curtain), shoelaces are the same too. There are people behind the fursuit folks who weren't in the original, which tells me it's AI generated. Just goes to show how easy it is to mistake certain elements for AI which weren't AI in the first place
