I did a reverse image search and found it posted to Reddit in 2020—i.e., before the rise of AI image generators. And who knows how long it existed before that post. (Because the OP was not the artist.)

More to the point though: don't make accusations without clear evidence. It is far better to let one guilty AI user go than to falsely accuse a real artist and potentially tarnish their reputation unfairly. As someone who has been falsely accused of using AI in far lower-stakes contexts, it really fucking sucks. And I can only imagine it would be far worse if it happened to someone in the line of their professional work.

In this case, the artist is called Annie Stegg Gerard, and she can be seen painting oil on canvas on her website.

Bun Alert System

1114 readers
87 users here now

A place to alert others/be alerted of bun sightings.

The smoler the bun the better, please see this for an explanation: https://xkcd.com/1682/

RULES:

  1. Be kind to each other. Buns are cute, cuddly, and nice. Be like buns.

  2. Posts should be images of real buns doing bun things. Bun things include eating, chilling, playing, hopping, and sleeping. You wouldn't want to be alerted of a capybara doing calculus through the Bun Alert System, would you? For other bun discussion, see some other communities below.

  3. Images should be of living, healthy, happy buns. The Bun Alert System exists to bring smiles to bun enjoyers around the world, not sour frowns.

  4. Keep it suitable for all bun enjoyers. Nothing too freaky or NSFW.

  5. With respect to this community, moderators are the smolest buns. Please shoot us a message if you have questions or concerns!
