"This tool uses AI to check guess the likelihood that an image was created by Generative AI"
Yea fuck AI. Anyway here's our latest AI tool.
While I'm here does anyone want to invest in my cow based imitation vegan imitation burger business?
I mean people have already been doing exactly that for months now. People have been accusing artists of using ai since it became better looking than when dall3 mini went viral last year/early this year.
Gotta say fellas, was looking for some reference photos on open google (already a mistake in current year, I know), and came upon one that made me feel quite warm inside.
I, too, have a giant smile when I spork feed my girl's open hands a big plate of spaghetti under the moonlight, at a fancy restaurant.
On a real note, this is cancer, barring old catalogs, what is even left to find references from?
Pinterest is dead, google is dead, am I meant to rely on exoteric Eastern websites? Or old history art books, like a nigger? Because I will if that's what is needed.
Since it seems there are many BS views expressed on which is or is not "real art", there are 3 ways for what can be "real art" to me:
⬤ skillfully done ⬤ looks beautiful ⬤ thing is "deep"
So contrary to claims of "AI art isn't art", AI-made art can be "real art", despite never being able to meet that first criteria (no natural intelligence artist behind it).
I have a suspicion that some are already aware when something is not AI. This is possibly the best excuse they can give when blatantly trying to shut down competition, since it is the only way the antis will not accept when a piece is objectively better.
To those who do not know, Stan 'Proko' Prokopenko is one of the Internet's Art Hierophants; he is the go-to source in learning anatomy and had expanded his repertoire towards art in general. He is very respected in the online world.
He made this AI art seething video (implied vore):
The really concerning part is the ditching his usual tutorial diction, instead having a heavy-handed Tranquil Fury.

I don’t know, that was cute and made me chuckle. If artists are going to beat AI, they’ll have to use their humanity to do it - being funny is the way.
I saw this a while ago and was going to post it but thought I'd leave it for a while to see if anything came of it, then completely forgot. And of course half the shit got deleted again but I'll get to that.
Decently made but like holy fuck the watermarks people use look like shit. It's so obnoxious and draws your eye way too much.
The artist then gets a couple comments from the same person. All of the tweets in this post will be machine translated so might be a bit fucky. Either way he gets a couple comments, one on that image, one. Fuck me. Literally as I was typing that this retard full deleted their account. Guess you're going to have to take my word for it then? But the other request was in reply to some completely random post that had nothing to do with this image.
The translation is a bit fucked up. He's asking for the character (Kazemaru) in the outfit in the image; sailor swimsuit (sailor mizugi) and for the character to be having his belly button played with or fingered. Kinda generic Twitter user. 'Hey I like this image could you make a minor alteration to fulfill my fetish'. Artist probably would never have done anything about it really, just ignored and moved on because the account isn't a fetish one. Shinya then posts this:
Once again everything got deleted so you'll have to take my word for it. Plus google translate once again has fucked up; the blue '? ...' is actually a link to a pixai post. The image was an edit of that original image with darker skin and the background character fingering Kazumaru's belly button. I cannot prove this anymore so call me a lying faggot or whatever if you want. I am almost certain that Shinya is autistic, from what I can see and discounting any text posts because of the language barrier, I would be willing to bet he has autism. His entire account is filled with trains. Do I need to say more? But he went around replying to random people posting the AI image he edited. Like typical autist not really understanding that random people don't want to interact with your fetish type shit ala justinrpg/chris megan porn. He posted it at least 10 times maybe 20 on random posts, a few having nothing to do with the character or series at all, though I can't prove that anymore. His entire media tab was just filled with this one image and linking to it.
At some point the original artist notices this and posts this. Timestamp in the image says 3 hours, don't know if that's the first post Shinya made, I think it was one of the first at least.
Basically none of the posts from Shinya had any likes. They pretty much all looked like how that screenshot did. 0 traction. He just spammed this image in random places and no one cared basically. I can't really get the AI image any better than that screenshot. It might just be from google translate being shitty but I kinda find it funny that he's calling it disturbing lol. Then the artist posts this. Second post does have extra, not relevant though, basically just saying 'i have a request site he could have requested through', one of those where you basically give artists ideas and if they like it they'll draw it for free.
I'm no expert on copyright, let alone for a different fucking county. But I'm fairly sure that it wouldn't be a DMCA report because Japan has different copyright laws, could just be semantics though. They are also incredibly cucked and the creators of the original anime could copyright strike this guy's art for using their character. Either way this guy starts talking about legal action. He then locks his account.
Then retweets some way to report copyright abuse through twitter I think? Basically just trying to deal with copyright claims.
Then a few days later he posts this. oops forgot to click 'see more' the extra text says "I think the support team probably sent some kind of notification when I filed the first report."
translated apology. The youtube thing in the above screenshot is not related to this post at all, probably just an ad?
I'm not entirely sure because of the language barrier, as well as not actually knowing what report he filed. But it seems to me like he filed some report on twitter which sent Shinya a scary warning and he went and deleted everything. I also don't buy the apology. I just think he's saying that in the same way that people in school 'apologised' to the person they bullied or whatever. I don't think he actually thinks he did anything wrong. But that's all speculation because as I say whatever the artist did caused this guy to delete absolutely everything about the situation basically.
So that should be the end of it right? Normally I see people claiming AI 'stole' their art or whatever and it's just complete bullshit and the person just wants attention. This is just obviously different, the guy clearly took the original image and stuck it through pixai's i2i generator. Then again I still think it's a bit of an overreaction, I mean some autistic guy edited your image to fulfill his fetish and posted to 0 audience. I mean copyright is faggy enough but I can see the argument behind the whole stealing your audience side. This guy didn't. His belly button fetish art that got 0 likes is not going to take any followers away from a 5000 follower account that gets at least 1000 likes on each art post. Like yea I'm not going to say that Shinya is a good guy here but I'm also not going to say that threatening to fucking sue him is exactly a proportional response. But that should be the end of it. Posts deleted. Edit can't be found anywhere, even on archive sites from what I can find. Shinya said 'sorry'. Life's back to normal right?
Nope. Because for some fucking reason this guy decides that the appropriate follow up action of this situation isn't to delete the fluff posts, leave the important ones of 'hey this guy's doing some scummy shit' and 'he deleted everything', and then unlock his account and go back to normal. Nope. He first decides to leave it a while to think about it.
I guess it took Shinya/the website a while to delete the posts on other websites. He had posted it to pixai publicly as well as other image hosting sites like popiku and shit like that. Those are all gone now. But he leaves it a while to think. Just to sit and stew over the decision. And two weeks later he has made his decision. Once again not a rash choice, something he thought about for a fortnight. So surely it's going to be levelheaded right? Just delete the unimportant drama posts and unlock your account? Yea so anyway here's him announcing that he's fucking abandoning the account and making a new one?
What the fuck lol? How do you even come to that choice? Your had some guy being a bit of a dick to you and so you decided to make an entirely new account? That you will post everything from your old account on? Your decision is to remake your current account? Under a slightly different name? What the fuck is that going to do? Other than cutting your reach? You might as well just not do anything. Anyone who wanted to can still take your posts and stick them through i2i ai even if you post them on a new account. If you want to stop Shinya from following you and seeing your posts then making a new public account is literally the worst thing you could do. You're already privated so he can't see your current posts. The screenshot before last literally says he's worried about Shinya doing the same thing again. By creating a new public account he is now able to see your posts again. Blocking him and leaving your account on private is the best option. Or at least fucking use a different name if you plan to make a new account. Or just do the same thing if it happens again? You pressed a report button and that got the post deleted? Is that really that hard? Just fucking go on as you are now. I am just fucking baffled that creating a new account is your go to choice. I think I lied earlier. I said something about him deleting his account as I was writing this. I realised what happened now. He didn't. He instead slightly renamed it, so when I tried to open a post from the old handle it threw an error.
I guess that makes slightly more sense. But I still don't get why you would basically abandon the account?
Also I saw this today. For context the character is one of the like 5 different anime girl mascots mcdonalds japan uses. They recently did a colab with evangelion and the outfit is the best one fight me faggots idc if Asuka best girl or not she's got the best design by far i want her to peg me with a pineapple from that show.
Yea so anyway a load of Twitter faggots got pissy as always and are accusing this guy of using AI. But that doesn't sit right with me so I did what Twitter tells me to do and here's the results.
I guess womp womp cope and seethe retard?
I do not know and will not comment on if this guy uses AI or not. He posts basically daily in this quality. There are other artists I follow that do the exact same thing too though. I will say that if this is AI then I'm quitting my job and following in my grandad's footsteps and becoming a carpenter because holy fuck those artists are going to need some chairs to kick pretty fucking badly. The guy's art does have some slight signs that it could be AI generated in his other posts. Maybe about oh idk around 0.1% of the image or somewhere around there. Just minor defects in shit like the shadows, but minor enough to just be human mistakes. Anyway I genuinely could not give a shit because I think the image is cute regardless and that's all I use Twitter for. But yea people are pissy mostly because of that whole 83000 number lol.
Checkmark posts generic loli stuff for 300 likes on average.
The last guy's post was in Japanese so it's a translation error, he meant 'you didn't draw anything in this image, yet you still signed it' or something like that. A lot of people are annoyed that he put his name on this. But everyone on Twitter is watermarking their shit nowadays? Do you complain that the meme page watermarks their posts? They didn't take the original image, probably didn't even make the joke originally either. It's kinda funny to see the response to this post in particular. On the previous posts like the Miku one or whatever people proudly proclaim 'this is AI', as though they found something when in reality the poster had 'AI' in their fucking handle. But this post has most people just asking 'is it AI?' Half the people are just unsure which is kinda funny. Anyway here's some of the qrts of note.
This is basically my stance too. It didn't get into my feed because of someone complaining about it. But also having an inflated comment and qrt count from people being like AI bad is only going to make people like the original post more. What you're telling me that this image that is 99% confirmed to not be AI I'm meant to hate because someone said so? The image looks good regardless of AI or not and once again anti AI people are only showing the general public who do not care about AI stuff that it is now at an insanely good level.
Oh yea most of these will be google translated. If it says mcdonalds instead of some moon runes then its google translated. I just want to know what the fuck this guy's on about? Where are the random strings? Or do you mean the bow tie on her ass? You know like how you would tie an apron if you work in a kitchen? Is that the random string? I know it's hard to tell with the language barrier and all but idk what the second part is on about either. Are model trainers picking images based on how many ribbons are on the image? If I took a model trainer to a tie store would they cum themselves to death? Also making an entire account about how much you hate AI is just sad. My guy you're fucking Japanese, you live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth. Idc how weeby that sounds, out of the safe countries it's easily in the top 5. Just fucking go outside. No one will remember your anti AI twitter account with fucking 420 followers. No one will remember anything you post on social media. Not even you. But you will remember the actual things you experience in life.
Translated again but I like the word 'experts'. Same experts that made the image detectors? I just like seeing people be honest and somewhat impartial. 'I don't know if this is AI; if it is then I'm impressed by the technology'.
I did look through this guy's media tab and I agree. Fairly sure it's AI. Maybe it's edited like that last Miku post. I'm only posting this because holy fuck imagine wanting mcdonalds. There is more nutrition and flavour in the fucking latex the character is wearing than in the cardboard they call 'food'.
I just find these two funny. I agree with you mr poop leak bot. I agree with you in several ways because yea mcdonalds will definitely do that to you.
I've said this before but I find this type of shit so obnoxiously autistic. Your likes are private now. You can like whatever you want and not worry. If you see something that you yourself admit that you like then just press the like button? Like policing was the faggiest shit on twitter, why are you doing it to yourself? Just like let yourself enjoy things maybe? The image is cute, what's wrong with that? The word 'religious' is a mistranslation btw
And I just want to know how it's a 'shame'? How is that a bad thing?
Anyway this post is way too fucking long and retarded as is. I'm off to go buy a bigmac and one of those cheap aliexpress asuka cosplays and violently shit myself. At least that would be more productive than spending your time getting pissy at a random cute image online.
My hot take: group allegiance. Artists, and especially chronically online Twitter "artists," are usually soy lefties, and the most noticeable people who drive the AI hypetrain are fad-chasing tech companies enshittening their products or sociopathic techbros moving on from the last big thing (Blockchain, Web3, whatever). Redditors align with the former and despise the latter.
The problem is, as a group Redditors manifest hate hyperbolically, and also I doubt they're willing to bite other bullets about automation, and consumerism, and the prioritization of efficient production over artisanship: they'll only entertain arguments instrumentally as a weapon against their current designated target of hate rather than appreciate the broader implications.

I watched it twice and read the following comment, someone from Prokos team left under it. I'm now fully convinced this is just autistic artist humor, completely unrelated to AI, other than it mentioning cameras and some "art copying" machine.
Learning art is hard, and developing your unique style is something that takes years and years of continuous effort, having that stolen by some Chinese sweatshop worker with a laptop in, I want to say, a week, and then sold off on Patreon or Etsy is a vile feeling that I don't wish on anyone;
Then we have the low-quality (and as of now high quality as well) porn artists that legit only draw for the money complaining that their low-effort scribbles, with even lower quality shading, are getting outpaced by some nigger in Japan that can pump-out 1000 page CG's of furry porn in two days;
And lastly, it's the art club, no one wants to be practicing and struggling for years-to-decades building experience, only for some normie monkey that never held a pencil/Stylus/brush and has no interest ever to do so, to come in and claim a seat at the table with a picture of a cross-eyed anime woman with 8 fingered hands and 3 deformed arms.
AI is fun for shitposts, but not having it moderated has flooded the search bars with actual cancer, all so some degen. can pump his ai Patreon.
What I'm currently curious about is if Statuing is going to be making a resurgence, a physical medium that you can record on multiple angles to prove it's real, which sounds like a possibility for the future of most artists.
Watermarks don't really stop AI anyways, e.g. Flux fill can do this:
There's a ComfyUI workflow for that flowing around.
Currently, image and video generation is still relatively complicated. It will get a lot easier when multimodal models become better, as these will be able to rework images or generate coherent plots between them from natural text instructions. We're like, at the beginning.
There's also models that can make 3D meshes out of one-shot images, these don't work incredibly well yet, but the potential is there: TRELLIS
People also have been experimenting with using stable diffusion to generate textures for 3D objects:
It's so over for artists, they don't even realize how over it is. (because they don't keep up with the times)
(EDIT: Had to fix the post, tried to upload a gif and it all spazzed out)

I mean this is just a rehashed version of the luddite argument. I mean knitting is still the most stereotypical old woman hobby despite knitting being automated centuries ago. Artists will still keep painting even if AI can create absolutely anything you want without fail. People will still keep their hobbies even if that hobby is 'outdated' or 'solved' whatever you want to call it. The internet doesn't have a limit. There is no daily images cap that Twitter has, no one using AI is taking anyone's seat because there are an endless amount of chairs. Most people I've seen don't think this way either, most people just want to post cool shit of characters they like or play around with the technology. It's a pretty common rhetoric on Twitter, same as fucking everything nowadays, the whole bipartisanal us vs them type mentality. In reality it's just two separate communities of people with little overlap. Unless you want to talk about professionally but until I see anyone talking about how coders and devs will lose their jobs way before any artist will I'm just not going to bother with that argument.

My guy have you seen Japan lately? Making statues is already pretty big. I doubt it will become much more popular as a hobby. I mean how long does it take to learn how to 3d model? I know from experience you are not going to learn how to work with stone in any short period of time. If you're talking about actual marble statues then no one is learning how to do that shit before AI can create a 3d model you can print off on a home resin printer. I wouldn't be surprised if it's making legally distinct space knights by the end of next year.
While it may take years to reach a certain level of skill, the skills remain so you don't have to re-learn them every time you make a new work. That said, it can suck major monkey ass if someone makes money off of bootleg stuff of art you put a lot of effort to make... or if someone deliberately lies by trying to claim they made what you made. It can also suck if someone falsely claims that AI-generated stuff that emulates a unique style you came up with was done by you -- or if said style wasn't invented by you.
However, if AI-made art doesn't use substantial unique portions in a non-transformative way, it's most likely not copyright infringement... yet it can still be competition.
I like to think of "AI hands" as "motion blur", but that trick doesn't always work. And yep, someone who only generates AI art is no artist, like someone using a 3D printer to print a bowl is not a sculptor. Entering prompts is pretty much the same as using a search engine, even if there's some imagination or creativity in thinking up prompts.
