    Not to seem rude, but no ai used in the process, right? Real artist only?

    I ask because there are a lot of tedious details.

      Thank you for the responses here @[email protected]! While I agree that it sucks that we all have to be extra skeptical about ai now and asking about it is fine, all of my communities explicitly ban ai posts. I would hate for a legitimate artist to not be shared because of a false ai accusation. I also know most posters here are careful to sort through things prior to posting. That being said, I appreciate the skepticism, and please report if you think a post features AI art, but if/when shown otherwise it’s a good way to learn how to get better at spotting ai usage.

      it’s not a lot of work to look up the artist yourself and see that they have a portfolio going back as far as a decade full of drawings of comparable quality.

        Mate, I’m not scrolling the feed looking for opportunities to do investigative journalism.

          Ok.

          But apparently what you do look for, are opportunities to comment unfounded suspiciouns, which you could have disproven by opening any single one of the links in the very same post.

          That’s not investigative journalism. That’s the bare minimum.

          Otherwise you risk spreading your suspiciouns to everyone just as lazy as you. And you are lazy.

          Writing that comment required more effort than checking the date of the work using one of the provided links. And that’s before considering that verifying a thought before voicing is basic common sense. Instead you left a comment that is a literal request for others to do this for you.

            We should normalize asking if something uses AI, we should normalize tagging art as AI-free.

              In a community that forbids it?

              In… In a communtiy that forbids AI?

              Asking is fine.

              But you didn’t bring up anything unclear. You asked if water was wet, while standing in some.

              By all means if something raises an eyebrow and the sources don’t back it up, look into it. But you didn’t do that.

              All you did was essentially go “this is sus” on something that 100% wasn’t, and then drop the mic.

              And when told you could have just answered the question yourself, you instantly cry “too much effort”.

                For somebody who thinks asking is fine you certainly have a lot to say about me asking.

                The smooth detailed musculature, the tedious rough textures, the odd glow, highlights, and shadows put this squarely in the same uncanny valley as AI generated. Maybe if you took a more stylized approach.

                It’s a good piece though, thank you for sharing it.

                  I didn’t have a problem with you asking.

                  I have problem with your “others can put in the effort” attitude.

                  My initial reply is essentially little more than a reply to your question.

                  Only once you straight up went “I’m not some investigative journalist” when all you had to do was open a fucking link, did I take issue.
