Pokemon Art Contest FILLED with Ai Art

Keep in mind, that's 6 entries that we know of because they got the winning spot, they could have submitted much more. And the amount of people would have doubted if it was AI art had this person not been a dingus and entered under a very obviously similarly named. AI makes logic error that even a 5 year old wouldn't make in their drawing and it's not just the hands. The inconsistent blobs, inability to continue something being cut off in the foreground, very advanced, but inconsistent light sources, the inability to do asymmetrical, off centered backgrounds in a 1 point perspective (The cherry blossom forest and the water dead giveaway). This is going to ruin or get large contests outright discontinued because of this.

Like, what's the point of an art contest if you ain't making the art yourself?

AI art? Nah, that's going a bit far. It's an AI Image.

AI art needs some sort of digital encrypted watermark so that it’s fully clear that it’s AI. The fact that people can get away with submitting AI as their own work is really disappointing

Wow.. just wow... i really hate these kinds of people, they genuinely think they could “make” art just by prompting ai and then they would call these “theirs”, i really hate seeing people using a tool as the final product

I think more contests should go the AFK Journey art contest route. AFK was very strictly anti-ai for their big art contest and required submitters to post 3 progress shots along with their final piece. They also had actual artists judge the contest. I wish more art competition hosts actually gave enough of a shit about art to ensure the winning entries were actually art, and not ai slop.

This is disappointing. In my opinion, AI is only good when it's used for reference or entertainment, but using it commercially is wrong because you'll just be a fraud literally profiting off others' stolen work. Remember in Pokémon Sword and Shield where they hosted a competition to get a T-shirt into the game, but all the best entries were disqualified because they were stolen so they cancelled the competition and nobody won? History is repeating itself here. Artists in the Pokémon fandom are very creative when they put their passion for the franchise into their art, it's a shame that their work is being overshadowed by cheaters and frauds that ruin everything with their dishonesty.

The eyedropper test is actually genius

I saw an artist on Twitter who has amazing art, they drew a very heartwarming art of eevee, but did not even get picked because of all the AI “art” getting picked instead. They deserved so much better, I feel so sorry for them…

I'm glad people are mad about this, AI art should not be a thing with how unethical and unfair it is. I hope there to be regulations at the very least with actual permissions and limited trained sources

I've hated ai from day 1 and I will always hate it. Great video tho

The best proof is the color picking.

it’s an art contest, not a typing contest.

I wonder if Mario regrets teaching people typing

the image you are showing at 6:20 is obviously IA generated no discussion about that, but be careful with the “eyedropper test” because when you import file from internet there are chances of them getting compressed and have some weird corruption color, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s AI, it’s just mean it’s badly compressed

No more big art contests now :(

As a diehard Pokémon fan and artist, this is really sad. Like I genuinely love Pokémon but if I entered into this contest and found out some dude using AI and submitting 6 entries beat me into the top 30, I would be pissed asf.

this is like going to a cooking contest and ordering from grubhub 😭😭😭

The worst part is that even if for some reason AI is allowed on the cards, multiple of the eevee drawings should be disqualified because they contain actual tracing

This is why in-progress pics are so important.
