I've resigned myself that this will be the state of memes in the future, but god would I take a paint doodle over this.

.. only for ai to start drawing paint doodles because making an effort is not a human nature

How can you tell?

edit: I learned a lot today

[-] toothbrush 40 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The inconsistent backround,

the cutoff text in the second panel,

that every panel is slightly different but featuring the same content(for example the "He" on helium is very slightly different in every panel, a regular artist would copy paste the text, not draw it every frame),

the font not being consistent(Look at the "E" in "HELIUM WALKS" and then the "E" in "WE DON'T"),

the absence of period symbols(Image Generation LLMs love to do this)

and the artstyle is very specific to other AI comics that are currently floating around the net.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Also, the off-white color used. AI HATES using pure white backgrounds for comics for some reason.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Inconsistent bsckground shelving

[-] Typhoonigator@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

On top of everything others have said, there's no watermark, signature, url, etc from an original artist. Webcomics like this will always have one unless it's removed by a reposter, which yeah, that happens, but I feel not as often these days. And when it does, it's a pretty shitty thing to do, and not a good situation either.

[-] desertdruid 12 points 1 year ago

the font, all ChatGPT produced "memes" use the same "font"

[-] Sorse@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Another thing not mentioned is how when you zoom in on solid colors you see compression artefacts. Generative AI hates solid colors and sharp lines, so they often have slight imperfections

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

LOL thanks I don't know that, it's pretty obvious when I zoom in

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 90 points 1 year ago

Is that what we're doing now? AI comics for old jokes?

[-] TerranFenrir@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

"Stop having fun!!!"

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 63 points 1 year ago

I'm a simple man. I see AI, I downvote.

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

Real question, how can you tell it's AI?

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Inconsistencies. The bottles are different in every panel. The door is missing after the first panel despite not being any closer to the bar. The scale is way off from the other two in the last panel. The bar fades out of existence in the last panel, and the wall panel is gone. The text being cut off on the edge of the second panel.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

Amongst all the other tells pointed out. The most obvious one right now is whats dubbed “AI-sans font”

There is atm only a single generator that can make this quality though. All ai generators have their unique quirks you learn to identity.

[-] vrutkovs@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Same yellow-ish pallette

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some things got me suspicious. Some patterns, the art style, the colors are "a strange choosing".. everything is so "overly perfect" except for the letters that feel kind of off... like someone had to unfuck the text. Besides, this is some polished artwork for a random comic with no firm.

But the real give away for me are the bottles

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Bottles in the background change every panel

[-] oplkill@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I'm a simple man. I see AI haters, I downvote.

i need your reply to ratio

[-] drkt@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 1 year ago

You couldn't even write that out yourself? You had to post a screenshot of someone else shitposting for you?

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Before AI, not everything needed to be custom made for an occasion.

I want to go back to those times.

When people could use a stock photo for an article.

When people could just put a random text over an image they found on the internet and call it a meme.

When people could just put their favorite video game music onto a YouTube video.

When people could just quote something for an occasion.

Probably one of the biggest harm of genAI is making people expect fully custom content for every time, since the AI can do it for the press of a button.

[-] TerranFenrir@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Congratulations

[-] desertdruid 58 points 1 year ago

you're lucky my instance host won't let me downvote this AI slop

[-] SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Don't worry fam, I got you.

[-] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

Move to a different instance to hate effectively

[-] myavatar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How did you notice? I have to admit, that I don´t see any indicator for it, which worries me...

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Inconsistency of the backgrounds is another big hint. A human would have just copy/pasted it.

[-] desertdruid 7 points 1 year ago

the font, I have seen a lot of these AI generated memes on socials and the font is almost always the same (it has inconsistencies but the style is the same)

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

This is the n-th so-called "AI" created comic that's posted in this style. Alsog as others have noted: inconsistent style/background between the panels.

I am soooooooo disappointed in the hundreds of people upvoting AI slop. Stop it.

[-] anothercatgirl 1 points 1 year ago

What makes it AI? I don't see the usual style mixing that AI is guilty of.

[-] dmalteseknight@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

There have been quite a few comics in this style recently. For this specific comic, the background is always changing.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 year ago

Also, the letter E for "serve" in the second panel is almost completely merged with the line.

[-] illi@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago

Shit makes me high

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Sodium walks into a bar pushing a shy electron, and orders two drinks.

"Three drink minimum" says the barman.

"Oh dont worry", says Sodium, "I'm waiting for him to come out of his shell so that I can hook up with someone else."

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No one likes my well-thought out joke.... 😢

[-] BevelGear@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I and 12 others at this moment do. If that doesn't help, then imagine a group of thirteen of us, in person, where your joke made the whole group laugh.

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Sodium walks into a bar, orders a drink and tips the bartender an electron. The bartender asks what it is for. Sodium says: "nothing. Just feeling positive today".

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

bu dum (no pish)

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Polonium enter in a bar, and the barkeeper can't say nothing anymore.

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Things haven't been the same to poor Helium since the new constitution was sign and nobility was stripped out of their privileges.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

He don't react to childish voices.
