Anyway, out of curiosity, I ran it through https://wasitai.com/. This is what it tells me.
We are quite confident that this image, or significant part of it, was created by AI.
There's a few things here that tell me it's probably not copyright-theft-generated. The big one that's easy to explain is the tail. The tail starts off from behind the mouse, snakes in front of the cloak and background (so far so good), but then, here's the critical thing, passes behind the fern staff and continues on the other side of it, positioned properly and in continuity.
Copyright-theft-generators have tremendous problems with this because, as the chorus goes, they don't understand anything. There is no mental model of "a tail" with them. There is no thought of a tail's properties, so keeping a tail contiguous while passing across barriers is very hard for them.
In a previous version the author started the tail at a slightly different spot (hidden, behind the body ) too. He had time to refine it in the latest, featured version.
