Animals making direct eye contact with the camera in images is an ai tell.
No it's not. I have hundreds of photos on my phone, that I took myself, of my cats staring directly in to the camera that say otherwise. It's dead simple to make an animal, especially a cat, look at the camera. You just make a "psst psst" sound, or dangle something floppy right above the camera while taking the photo.

I can go on if you'd like.
I think we need a few more.
You know, just to be sure.
