Mr. Platypus wishes you a wonderful morning.
Didn’t recognize him without his fedora.
That’s the duckiest platypus I’ve ever seen
you’re bringing up a difficult conversation few are willing to have about how these creatures identify
Because it isn’t real (it’s AI, platypus is real)
I’m pretty sure that this is a picture of a duck
Quack quack 🦆 am
duckplatypusAw okay you can be whatever you’d like
An extremely furry duck?
Platypus feet are weird and these definitely ain’t it!
Parts of the feet are obscured by the grass and under the stomach, and the lens distortion affects perspective. I think platypus is the most plausible subject.
Might wanna do a search, their feet look entirely different. Also never seen their feet or bill in these colors either. Can’t spot the nostrils in front too. A duck seems z lot likelier, the lens does throw you off
It’s AI-generated.
They definitely have webbed front paws like this.
You might wanna do a Google search, looks entirely different
Just share an image next time, it makes your point much better:
It’s an ai picture so it’s probably a mixture of both.
I think you’re right because the leaves on the tree in the background don’t align with the branches.
Everything else in the picture looks spot on for a closeup fisheye lense view of a duck on some grass
❤️
GD freak of nature. Pick a side Platypus! We’re at war! 🥰
Damn nature! You scary!
That’s not a platypus, that’s a fleshy furry duck with a beaver’s ass! My kindergarten teacher told me that my animal-identifying skills were awe-full.
a fleshy furry duck with a beaver’s ass
I’ve been called worse 🤷
Worse??? Is it possible to be called something better?? I argue few creatures look cuter than one of those fleshy furry ducks with beavers’ asses
I mean, my partner calls me “sweetness” and being a big softie, I kinda like that 🤷
Now this is what I need to start my morning!!
I wonder what platypus eggs taste like.
Chicken? Fishy chicken?
Maybe similar to infant platypus - think balut (embryo, not just like a chicken egg).
Video of platypus being born (kind of looks like a Pokémon)
Ok but what does infant platypus tastes like? 😂
Just for reference, this is a real platypus:

Now that’s super cute.
Thanks, I was 99% sure the feet were wrong (duck feet) but I couldn’t remember the last time I saw a platypus.
Yeah, everyone in the thread was calling out that the image was AI/wrong, but figured some proof would help.
what a fucked up animal who defies categorization. i love him
Cool, Facebook users coming to lemmy, trying to pass of AI garbage as real. Go back to Facebook boomer 🤣🤣🤣
First of all, I’m 47.
Secondly, I didn’t get this from Facebook or create it from an AI image generator. If it’s AI, it’s news to me.
I’ve known a few humans that could spit venom. It was also not deadly, but it is extremely painful… Emotionally.
Sounds like a good track.
Only males, and primarily during the breeding season. Interesting biology.
Hey Squid. Please edit he title to have [AI] in it? Getting a lot of reports about that. Also the “deadly” ain’t really accurate either.
I’ll just delete it.
You have a rather nice puss

This is AI generated

Platypus venom isn’t deadly. Painful? Extremely. Deadly? Not at all.
Shame on OP

So, I did some very basic reverse image searching with Google Lens and, as others of pointed out, it seems to have originated from Facebook. More specifically, it originates from some kind of copypasta first posted on Sept. 15th of this year by user Hashem Al-Ghaili. This same copypasta later appears in two other places: in Turkish (twice) and again on someone’s Linkedin post. Since many (myself included) suspected this to be AI generated, I ran this through AI image detector sightengine. Now, AI detection tool are very flawed so I took the results with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, It came back with a 99% chance of it being AI generated with Midjourney being the most likely candidate for its creation.
