As far as I could tell most of them were stock photos or from some etsy-like. What makes xou think they’re AI? It’s really not that hard to pose a plushy.
Specifically, the second image is clearly not just posed, and the first one looks very uncannily like AI. In the second image, there’s no forced perspective. Those tables and chairs in the background are clearly larger than the bears, but not large enough for the bears to be normal plushie-sized. the bears are clearly leaning in ways which are unstable, and would fall over if posed in such a way, even with a wireframe within. The blocks the bears are using are not any block, toy, or even object that I can recognise , and do not seem to have any conceivable purpose, either in the context of the picture or in the context of objects that were placed there from real life.
In the first image, the face of that duck is so uncanny that I do not believe that it is a real plushie. The felt of the cart makes little to no sense for a real toy, and the objects in the background of the picture are just real enough to look like an office cubicle, but not real enough to be clearly identifiable. Is this taken in a miniature office space? If so, why is the depth of field such that the entirety of the felt cart is in focus, but the wall immediately behind it is not? Also, why is a duck plushie with a felt cart in an office space, with the cart filled with a “dead line” repair kit and a bag which just says “BOOM”?
I now am forced to admit that such an abomination exists, and I think my life is worse for the knowledge, much like when I first came within eyeshot of a “labubu” “doll”. While I don’t necessarily believe that a human made all of the strange choices in that first image (specifically, that it implies that the deranged duck Is going to blow up the office building, because why else would he be wheeling a bomb around), I must at least admit that someone went to the effort of using a real toy as the basis for the image, generated or not.
Fair, just trying to educate and advocate, because it’s way too easy for us to get caught in the slop nowadays. I genuinely would love to see a pic of the council of plushies.
I’ve noticed dreamstime and freepik are really common culprits for slop when doing image searches. I wish I knew of an easy way to block sites like those so I didn’t see them in results. Nothing kills fun like finding out a picture you like is slop.
Glad it worked out for you, but also:

The one that says “royalty-free AI-generated”?
Yeah, I only saw “3D illustration”.
