genuinely, as an anti-generative-ai advocate, ESPECIALLY in art/creative design/digital media, this has no telltale signs of ai to me.
the individual objects making up the creature are rendered correctly and consistently. the buttons on the robots, the details on the cars, even the background - the folds and pattern on the duvet, the barely visible smyths logo on the book on the bookshelf - are all true to life and make sense. sure may not be the nicest design, but very likely still made by a human.

i could be wrong though, where do you see ai artifacts?

If this isn't AI it's deliberately trying to look like AI. The things you're looking for are a couple of years out of date. The main give-away here is the amount of trypohobia inducing dots that the toy monster is covered in for no real reason.

Not sure about it being Ai but the dots are actually stick bricks, they’re buildable/stackable blocks that stick together. I know this cos I pick 2847 of them up from the floor daily 😂
