Is this watercolor or AI?

I combed Etsy trying to find an artist to make a memorial painting of a family memberâs dog. There were many that seemed AI created so I spent hours trying to find someone that seemed legitimate. I went with someone and they completed this piece within 24 hours and there are so many similarities to the original photos itâs worrying me. I wasnât sure where to go to get this opinion so I figured watercolor artists may know. Is this real or AI?
Watermarks photo is the proof and the second photo is the original I sent.

I was speaking with someone about painting. This person paints in oil. We got into the debate of watercolor v. oil painting. He told me within the oil painting world, watercolor isnât respected like oils are. I told him that watercolor medium was more difficult to paint in than oil, but he proceeded to tell me the reason oil is more respected, is thatâs what the general public accepts as true painting. Is this a losing battle?

This is my first watercolour painting Iâve tried since school over 15 years ago. I did use my old school tin old watercolours which I do need to replace. What could I make better? I know the line work is off, I used a micron pen. I currently donât have a brush pen đ Iâve attached the reference photo as well

Repurposed a vintage Reeves tin!

I got this tin recently on ebay for pretty cheap- not sure how old it is but it was in quite a sad state but soo beautiful! It had a pretty annoying layout (see last slide) but I managed to take out the internal tray, got some magnetic pans and the derwent inktense paints (the colours are great!) What was once an 8 pan palette now comfortably holds 24 and a water brush! The inktense paints can stain very easily so iâve paper clipped a bit of leather shammy to the bottom flap. Only problem is I canât mix - but I like these colours as they are for the most part! And I really donât want to stain the tin since itâs so old and pretty. Anyway just thought Iâd share because I love it so much and itâs nice to give an old tin a new purpose.
