To the several people who reported this post:
This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
No need to be sorry. I’d step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.
Plus this isn’t the first time a post with an AI image has gotten this kind of response. I just copy-pasted the same comment I made the last time this happened.

OP is just riffing on the current void trend, so I’ll allow it.
If the community starts getting spammed with people making the same joke then I’ll start removing posts.
It’s as soft as it looks.
To determine how many prison beds will be needed in future years, some states actually base part of their projection on how well current elementary students are performing on reading tests
Wow. That’s depressing.
Once I was watching my brother play counter strike and he would turn away in game and irl whenever he threw a flash bang.
He didn’t even realize he was doing this until I pointed it out.
Never played it either. Looks like it asked random trivia questions that I guess kids wouldn’t know.

Honestly, I thought the “Fuck the state” was the original until I searched for the artist to credit them.
This is why I hide my paper towels in a cabinet.
She does! She has a few puzzle toys that I switch between using each day.
She’s a very smart cat, so I try to give her plenty of stimulation.
For the reporters and AI accusers:
I have reached out to OP and confirmed that they are not a bot. They have posted an explanation here: https://lemmy.world/post/31487746
They were simply trying to give helpful cat tips and were using an unusual writing style which unfortunately came off as LLM generated.
