Atsuko Sato, Kabosu's owner from Sakura, Japan shared the sad news in a heartfelt blog post Friday ... writing, "She passed away peacefully, almost like she was just sleeping, while I gently stroked her."

"The Simpsons" may have a reputation for making pop culture predictions that come to fruition, but in the case of Diddy's downfall, the Fox cartoon made no such prophecy.

The cartoon's showrunner, Matt Selman, explained it all to TMZ after an "AI fake" of Diddy drawn as a 'Simpsons' character fleeing cops in a pink suit made the rounds online.

The TV producer tells TMZ ... "In the current era of digital misinformation, The Simpsons 'predictions' (or, more accurately, 'coincidences') have become meaningless. Any goofball can whip up an AI image based on a current event and say 'The Simpsons predicted it!' — and decent-but-easily-misled folks will believe it because they so very want it to be true."

An employee from the fast food joint's Booval location, a suburb of Brisbane, was filmed by a shocked customer drying a wet mop underneath the fry station's heat lamp ... shortly after she was done mopping the floor.

A local news crew in Milwaukee captured a brutal hit-and-run on camera ... and the viral moment happened totally by chance.

He added ... "We were so happy to see such a reaction from the baby and family. We are not surprised that it had such an impact on social media. We are really happy about it."

6:11 PM PT -- OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman tells TMZ ... “The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers. We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better.”

The actress came out swinging Monday on the heels of OpenAI -- the creator of ChatGPT -- yanking their newest feature of their hottest commodity ... namely, suspending AI voices they recently trotted out, including one that many said sounded just like ScarJo.

They dubbed the new voice Sky ... and many felt it eerily mirrored Scarlett's AI character in 2013's "Her" -- where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer that sounds human.

The Internet is envious of one very well-informed and sophisticated baby -- who may be more cultured than many of us ... 'cause a viral video suggests she's in the know on fancy living.
