Can Artists Spot The AI Art?

The lesson I've learnt is that artists need to watermark their works

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!??

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.

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. ✌️

My opinion stays the same, I hate it with a passion

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.

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)

I have a feeling they will most likely pick out the art on certain details. Like hands, eyes, shading and etc.

7:50 the left one has a EYE on the arm

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ai art always has a very distinct shading and generation style. Most artists should be able to identify it at a glance.. it’s not difficult.

Artist here! HOW DID THEY GET THESE WRONG?! is it really so hard to some? And no it has no place in the art community BeCAuSE it was not made with the intention of it being a tool for artists. The official statement says it was but I don’t buy it. If they really thought about artists they would have compensated them and asked for permission. They only care for the profit and nothing else and now we can’t trust anyone.

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 :)

I can immediately tell by the eyes. The eyes always give it away.

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

I guessed all of them correctly just at first glance. I have enough experience with both art in different kinds of fields and AI art as well. What was mentioned by more people in the video, the feeling that something is off or that the AI art is emotionless is actually not a coincidence. From the beginning of times art was used as a way to communicate information and share ideas. this is something that is retained even nowadays. When an artist draws anything it always has a purpose, even if subconsciously at this point. Art is also different with your own personality, how much you learned about whatever you're drawing as well (the amount of knowledge changes the overall visual of the subject) Individual artists have their own series of shortcuts and their own interpretation of reality that they use in their art. These "simplifications", shortcuts, interpretations... this is what we call an art style. It is individual to each person and it is affected by the way we see the world and who inspired us. This is what AI can't do. It cannot communicate ideas. It's like when it tries to write text in an art piece. That is how it's trying to communicate to us what it's generating as it is white literally an amalgamation of all artists and it doesn't create with a plan or purpose in mind, it doesn't want to communicate to us, it just calculates the likely probability of what culmination of all artists could create. however it is not filtered by an individual and their idea and the actual "style" which is why the art appears soulless, confusing, almost generic. Theoretically you could say AI is like an artist that took inspiration from every single one artist in the world and attempted to use all art styles at once. it will simply not work. It's also why eyes are often muddy and messy because "eyes are windows to a soul" is something, we humans, tend to put a lot of emphasis on and every single one of us has their own unique take on how we draw eyes. This confused the AI and they can only average what a typical anime eye looks like but they struggle with any other eye type because the amount of inconsistent data it received from all artists combined messes with the result. This is why fingers are often messed up because they can be in so many different positions and you know there is 5 fingers on a human hand, but AI doesn't think about it and they only have thousands of inconsistent images they have to kind of "average out" to create the hand. It can also result in confusing hand gestures which do not communicate anything to us. This is also why snakes are almost impossible for AI to draw as well because a long legless noodle that can be in all kinds of shape or forms with a head and beady eyes is too confusing for the AI. They don't think, they only take the most average result based on how you limit them with your prompt. And the more you limit them, the worse the result as they have less and less examples to work with, unless you specifically provide them. I think AI, as intimidating as it is atm, it is still not perfect and I do not think it will be any better any time soon unless they give the AI an ability to think and learn like a human does, processing logical information and attaching visuals to it. Until then it will just be the average static amalgamation of all artists. If you ever feel like ai can do better then draw a danger noodle, hands, or your oc being expressive with a meaningful background, interacting with someone else or an animal companion. Because AI could never. that is all great vid! 😂
