    The lesson I've learnt is that artists need to watermark their works
  • @galaxymoon8071
    I’m genuinely shocked how bad they were at spotting the ai. Like they were all very obvious.
  • I guessed all of them yay The ai art either looks "melted" for landscapes or they aren't very good at details.
  • @yaboiEchogaming
    Hey guys I would like to give a heads up about watermarks, ai has actually made up watermarks and implemented it into its generated images so don’t trust art based off the watermarks. This goes for stolen art as well. Some people can paint over watermarks and pit their own over it. I’ve never seen someone do this but it’s a genuine fear I have next to someone drawing something problematic and adding my own watermark over it. Be safe out there, stay epic. ✌️
  • @ScriptForever
    I can believe people got the second set wrong💀😭 The beak is wrong, the eye is messed up, and the bird’s arm is just connecting with another bird? HOW DO YOU MESS THIS UP!??
  • @CheshireGhost
    I wish people would call them "AI generated images" or "AI images." Because that's what they are. They are not art by technicality or definition.
  • @JuhoSprite
    This was a year ago, I could tell every piece that was ai, nowadays I dont think its that easy anymore... im surprised some of these artists here even got fooled by these.
  • I have a feeling they will most likely pick out the art on certain details. Like hands, eyes, shading and etc.
  • @LaysAirchips
    For me it's kind of easy to tell based on the faces, because a lot of the ai generated ones have the same vibe when it comes to the style, especially the face (although you can kind of tell by the way it's coloured, shaded, etc.) Sometimes you can look at the lineart as well, because ai doesn't lean towards having it's own characteristics and variation. Obviously the hands are a good focus point too when it comes to trying to tell the difference, although artists can mess up with the hands as well, just maybe not as much as ai does (it could also be a choice to have less or more than 5 fingers but idk) Also I'm not saying that every artist who has this style and it's characteristics is not an actual artist, those are just the traits that the ai seem to use most in their "art" (especially in NOVEL AI because it does take a lot of inspo from anime styles)

    3:37 “I thought the bottom one was from fate” the fate character right next to it:
  • @lmnpie2
    I can immediately tell by the eyes. The eyes always give it away.
  • One thing nobody mentions is ai art has a lot of indefinite little tendrils/lines/shapes or arbitrary, non-functional looking accessories or details that just have a mushroom trip or "unable to tell wtf it's meant to be" like quality. It looks kind of like something but not quite like anything... Hand drawn art usually feels more intentional, without those "wtf is that supposed to be exactly" like qualities. Idk if anyone knows what I mean but it's plain to see. Again, talking about small details such as objects in the BG that just don't really serve a purpose--not so much larger details, which AI is decent at.
  • @repeatedecho
    Got all of them correct. It was pretty easy to tell which one was AI(the last one was pretty difficult though) based on several factors: 1. Hands 2. Artstyle 3. Facial expression 4. Rendering and shading of the hair, skin, clothes etc 5. Background detail Hands is pretty obvious, Ai art cannot do hands very well. They are often hidden or turned into some sort of eldritch abomination. Ai-generated art has a certain artstyle to it. Its especially prevalent in the face by the way the way the hair is highlighted and rendered overal. Scrolling through ai generated art can help you better recognise its artstyle. Take into account which ai program was used and look at the differences between images produced by stable diffusion and images made by NovelAI. Facial expression is also another way to distinguish ai art. Characters made through ai art tend to have very little emotion in their faces. Rendering is also another dead giveaway. Mid journey pieces are very colourful and full of smudgy details. NovelAi shading and rendering is usually very simple when it comes to the hair, but VERY detailed and pronounced in other areas like the chest. The rendering of clothes in ai can have this smudgy look to them if you look really close. Background details in ai art can also have this smudgy look to them.

    i got all of them right! heres what helped me! in number one with the blue haired girl, (obviously) the hands sprouted more fingers and whatnot. in number two for the bird, (obviously) its beak is inverted. in number 3 a blond girls sword case fuses with a lighting bolt in the backround, one of her hands are also missing. in number 4 the blond girls ai tries to sprout another iris within the exact same iris, leaving a quarter of an eye just hangin in there. in number 5 mikus leg just has no joints, curling like it has no bones, muscle or anything. as if made out of elastic in number 6 the guys iris comes completely seeps out of the eye, and has no pupil either, not to mention the hair fusing with the corner. in number 7 the womans eye whites just completely fade into her skin. also, her iris are trying to duplicate just like the blond girls eyes. in number 8 a boat fuses with the stairs\dock or whatever it is, and the roof duplicates and smushes togeather, just like the wiring on the sides.
  • @lovelydumpling
    Easiest test of my life, but AI has evolved since then and I suppose in late 2022 people weren't as used to seeing all of the AI garbage yet. The six fingers in the Yukuri one almost threw me off but I figured that had to be human error because other details were too human and the one on the right is like that quintessential AI artstyle
  • The set 8 landscape was so easy, I can spot stable diffusion nonsense "detail" from a mile away. I've never seen an artist imply detail like that, the lack of intention and procedural noise is really ugly when you look at it closely. The overall color choice and lighting was pretty good though.
  • @PancakeLeBear
    5:01 the art piece on the left really gave it away for me, since there is a signature written in Japanese. Overall this challenge was pretty easy for me :)
  • @guiiada
    Ai should be morally developed without stolen art, they should replace jobs that are dangerous or no body wants to do. they should be a tool to help artists not threaten them
