I have discovered that a lot of people are really bad at recognizing AI. The most likely explanation here is that a teacher who is not particularly tech savvy found this graphic in some "teacher resources" website and used it without knowing it is AI.

AI has a slightly uncanny overly caroon-y feel to the art that it generates. There's also inconsistent fonts and ease with which it generates not straight text (like in this case). It's not a sure-fire way to identify it but AI art does have a "smell". It's hard to describe until you've seen a bunch of it

I've seen very obviously AI "art," but to me, the raccoon just looks regular cartoony, not overly cartoony.

there's also the case that there are small burst lines indicating the raccoon tail like the "for this assignment" text for some reason
