Alright I’m just gonna start blocking anyone that posts AI slop. I implore others to join me in letting these goobers post silently to the void.

[-] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 18 points 6 days ago

Nah. I'm gonna report it every time and write in the comments that this slop needs to be banned

Nice “gotcha”. Why don’t you ask AI to make me the soyjack and you the chad while you’re at it. If AI hallucinations fed by thousands of hours of stolen labor is what you classify as fun then you can keep it.

i too like to use a program that takes millions of people's artworks and amalgamates them into something that slightly resembles a phrase i typed into a chat box

If you generated this with AI, YOU HAVE BROUGHT GREAT DISHONOR UPON YOUR HOUSE!

even if you didn't, A TRUE WARRIOR NEVER SPREADS ART GENERATED WITHOUT GLORY!

Better hope he's not warming us up for future plans.

wiki

Aktion T4 was a campaign of mass murder by involuntary euthanasia which targeted people with disabilities in Nazi Germany.

The killings took place from September 1939 until the end of World War II in Europe in 1945; from 275,000 to 300,000 people were killed in psychiatric hospitals...

I'm having second thoughts about getting an official diagnosis 😅

I'm cool just saying I suspect I'm autistic, probably not though. Lovely weather, right?(moves Legos to hidden basement room and encrypts Minecraft and Satisfactory saves)

They’ll probably come for us adhd-ers too

where the actual fuck in my apartment am i going to hide the giant fucking millennium falcon lego

He’s already talked about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs. He was mask-off Nazi before Musk was (if only by a few weeks.)

He’s a disgrace to humanity.

I feel like an old man I can't fucking tell when things are AI generated anymore.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 days ago

I just don't care about it. So what if it's generated by stable diffusion of not.

[-] potatobro 11 points 6 days ago

Same. I saw this on FB, thought it was funny, didn't think much more than that. I had no idea 😭

Who is the artist that drew this?

[-] Noved@lemmy.ca 91 points 6 days ago
[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 43 points 6 days ago

The text gives it away; AI generated text always looks a bit off with its inconsistent sizing, kerning, and distortion.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 days ago

Don't rely on that. What was that old management manipulation tactic? Put a duck in everything you present, so management can say "that's fine, just lose the duck" so they feel like they've left their mark and won't be as likely to recommend changes that would add to your workload.
If you depend on that, you're going to fall for a lot of things that don't have such obvious tells.

[-] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 12 points 6 days ago

There's a lot going on here that indicates AI, not the least being that for something that's stylized to be a pencil illustration, the linework and colors are way too consistent. Also note:

  • The truncated eyes in panels 1 and 3
  • The paper generating spontaneously in the second panel
  • The inconsistency in the grass patches in panel 3

To me, the giveaway is the weird facial evolution. Why would she listen to it with an angry face and then get happy? An actual person would give the first frame a surprised expression

[-] TotallynotJessica 11 points 6 days ago

She might just not get the implications until the second panel

It's not even sepia colored... It's... evolving.

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 20 points 6 days ago

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

[-] lime@feddit.nu 32 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] will_steal_your_username 14 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Inconsistent arm length is only proof that someone might have issues with reference sizing, not AI. Webcomic Pixie and Brutus had it so bad the artist made it into a hilarious joke and then stated they'd finally make a size reference chart to keep it consistent in the future. Freaking animated series Steven Universe, a professional production, constantly had issues with not just limb lengths but size consistency as well. Size consistency is the worst reasoning of them all if anything.

The flowers in the background could just be that the artist has issues with distance perspective / drawing. A lot of artists who don't do backgrounds have that issue.

And like I already mentioned, the best evidence so far would be the blur lines surrounding the character, which would be evidence of AI in that they added the character into these backgrounds, but not only could that also be just a standard blur tool (because the artist isn't good at backgrounds), but it would be weird that someone using Ai to make this would go through all the work of training a custom LORA or model on this character specifically, but wouldn't reduce the size of blurring in the parameters when inpainting. It's possible, sure, but usually someone who already went to the lengths of learning how to train a model or such to achieve such consistent results would also quickly look up how to set the inpainting parameters to not show such a massive blur line.

But the other thing to note that this might not be AI is the aspect ratio. Presumably this would have been done as separate panels on AI, and then you'd crop if needed and make a fake comic panels. If so, why would you crop the edges of the comic / leave them incomplete? Usually that's specifically where an artist of this type of comic panel would sign their work too, if they chose too. Cropping out signatures is something commonly done by people reposting work done by real artists, and has been an issue for years as well.

Now, all this is too say that it's not definite that this is made by a human. The point is that there's no strong evidence that it's AI. The clothes are consistent, the shoes and fingers are as well. That there's 5 fingers is actually suspicious, but it's definitely something an amateur artist would choose to do.

To me, the most likely case is this is a mix of AI and real drawn work / lots of manual editing work (for example, the mouth in panel 2 and 3 look the same, indicating it may have been copy and pasted by hand rather than generated). But my second guess it's purely drawn work with a lot of manual editing. What I can say is this is very unlikely to be 100% AI.

No human would draw those flowers, that is clearly AI

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
