I want all the money I put in to be refunded in nonsequential bills, and give it to me in one of those fancy metal briefcases please.

    Weird how many here calls this Ai with no real proof.

    The only current evidence I see that this might be Ai generated is blur lines around the character in the second and third panel, but the consistency of such a stylized drawing remaining the same is so strong it’s either really well done Ai that included photoshopping or human art with photoshopping.

    A lot of you saying it’s AI clearly don’t work with it or have any understanding of it, because getting this level of consistency across 3 panels is very difficult. We’re talking about doing extra training involved around this specific character just to make sure you can get this type of consistency with 3 separate poses (my experience with it so far is in photo editing along with other digital editing tools).

    I feel like recently I’ve noticed a lot of people witch hunting real artists who make a small mistake or have a unique art style (like that of the webcomic There Are No Demons), and the default of calling anything generated by AI, even something that was actually well done, “slop” shows less of an actual analysis of the piece but blind band wagoning

      this specific style has been proliferating the past few weeks. there’s some new model that’s really good at just two-tone comics. it’s immediately obvious when doing a side-by-side.

        This is better evidence, but still would be difficult to keep such consistency with the character. That would be quite the advancement itself.

        Reverse image searching this reveals this comic was first posted on facebook four months ago, and a mix of similar AI and human drawn comics, so yeah I would say that checks out.

      It’s absolutely AI. The inconsistent arm length, the distorted/melty flowers in the third panel, the bottom of the TV stand, some other kinda melty/bendy lines here and there. The only thing to discuss really is whether or not pure AI art that isn’t sloppy like this comic should be allowed or not because of the ethical implications of AI.

        inconsistent arm length

        Because it is impossible for humans to get anatomy wrong, or just not care. Right panel is a compromise: Gesture wants negative space to the right (gal is running), panel width is limited, don’t want to cut off hand, so make arms different length it’s a comic FFS.

        the distorted/melty flowers in the third panel

        Because everything humans paint is hyperrealistic and infinite detail. Impressionist technique doesn’t exist.

        the bottom of the TV stand

        …what? Best guess I have is that you think that it’s geometrically wrong but it just doesn’t have a door, drawers, or such. Which btw would break the composition.

        kinda melty/bendy lines here and there

        Smudge tool don’t exist.

          Can you not see the image I posted in the comment? Anyways, the flowers are not merely blurred or smudged. The way the petals are drawn is not how a human would draw them. Looks at the lines on the petals. Don’t think that I mistake imperfection for AI generation.

      If you pay attention to her shirt, you can see diagonal folding lines on the clothes because presumably one of her shoulder is higher than the other. The artist made it consistent across three panels and it’s clearly a human’s intention.
