but honestly, here is a totally copyright free image of an actual pocket gopher, the most well known kind, and what the #golang gopher is based on:

they look so much more goofy and less like a squirrel, the eyes are wider apart and the curve of the forehead and nose are much flatter and shorter

if you ask me, the image generator wasn't ever trained on even a single actual gopher image
