For the record, I don't think this is AI, although it has been color-corrected, upscaled, and reoriented.
These seem to be the original photos:

Cats a liquid. And dorks. Liquid dorks. lol
What were the accessories that are not in the picture?
Looks like it’s in real mint condition, and a creamsicle at that. A model like that is worth a lot of updoots.
Idk, I've searched for higher res & it doesn't seem AI: fuckinstagram.com/p/Ddr9YrJEqbO (this isn't even the og sauce, just pre-AI)
Eg of what I would think isn't AI:
Compared directly to the same qr code in ops pic it looks genuine so op's pic just got low-res-jpeged & then (absolutely) AI upscaled. But the og pic I think isn't AI.
Seems plausible, now @fireweed@lemmy.world your move to replace the slop.
The image still clearly looks like ai, the fur is like a plush animal.

If you wanna preserve the look, slap on color correction.
It's even way sharper and better looking too.
I grabbed this off of Reddit, and their digital analysis was that it had color correction and maybe some upscaling, but was not AI.
