A generic image-generator can't do the necessary math for relative heights and perspective, and since conveying that information accurately is the entire point of the visualization... :/
The problem is not that people will think they still exist in the wild today. The problem is one can't trust the "size reference" an AI made up out of whole cloth.
What utility does an AI-generated image with a weirdly proportioned fake human give here?
Real images abound with a quick Google: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/may-25-sharks-on-a-bird-diet... https://www.bellmuseum.umn.edu/blog/meet-the-giant-beaver/ etc.

So about 2x as big as a normal North American beaver.
They're remarkable animals. The scale of impact of their dam-building on ecosystems is only just starting to be appreciated.

If yo use AI then please say so. I dont want or like fake bullshit shown to me as if genuine.
First off, I'm with you on the "don't try to pass off AI imagery as real"...
But.. OP never claimed these images were real in their post..
Since there are no giant beavers in the world today, we could have assumed they were AI generated?
This could have been an illustration or a 3D render instead.. Isn't AI image generation just another form of visualization, like those?

Both depict what are clearly supposed to be museum exhibits. Those exist: https://www.bellmuseum.umn.edu/blog/meet-the-giant-beaver/
