Mr. Platypus wishes you a wonderful morning.
Bill with the most delicious caramel and made of chocolate.
Is it really worth it?
You have a rather nice puss
Didn’t recognize him without his fedora.
❤️
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.
GD freak of nature. Pick a side Platypus! We’re at war! 🥰
Damn nature! You scary!
Just for reference, this is a real platypus:

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.
Now that’s super cute.
Get thst AI garbage off of Lemmy. No time for this shit.
Now this is what I need to start my morning!!
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
I’m pretty sure that this is a picture of a duck
An extremely furry duck?
Platypus feet are weird and these definitely ain’t it!
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:
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.
Quack quack 🦆 am
duckplatypusAw okay you can be whatever you’d like
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
Because it isn’t real (it’s AI, platypus is real)
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 🤷
I wonder what platypus eggs taste like.
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? 😂
Chicken? Fishy chicken?
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.
what a fucked up animal who defies categorization. i love him
Only males, and primarily during the breeding season. Interesting biology.
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.
