(Several typos throughout this thread but I hope it can still be understood

My natural tendency to yap and ramble doesn't suit short length text posts very well)

9/9 Finally, please be careful about making IDs for art you believe to be AI.

Do not accuse with only one piece of 'proof'. Trust me, if a piece really is AI, you will be able to find more than just one. Just look closer for longer and keep asking: "Why?"

8/9 Humans always leave a trace of their journey towards a final piece, that can be read and followed. AI's journey can mimic the result, not the journey. The footprint the journey will be evident in some areas.

By trying to ID based on choices not results we can reduce wrong ID (hopefully)

7/9 By understanding that artists will not sabotage their goals (such as speed in a sketch) for an illogical choice we can add this to our knowledge for IDing AI.

We see the same here for another of the user's pieces.

Mistakes made in fast drawings would be ones due to quick work, not slow work.

6/9 The image shown above was sketchy, and done fast. So why would the artist slow down their line work to create less clear lines?

It is slower to draw lines that diverge in small ways than it is to draw a flowing line.

An artist drawing sketchy to draw fast would not slow down for worse results.

5/9 So what are some mistakes only an AI may make? They are mistakes that contradict what we know logically about the piece. Not illogical shapes, as humans can make those too sometimes. But instead illogical decision.
Something that contradicts the intention or work process without positive gain.

4/9 But AI may also make a human mistake. Upon seeing some humans not look both ways, they might not either. But a human with any sense wouldn't accidentally cross the road backwards as they gain nothing.

So by asking why a mistake was made we can help identify mistakes human from mistakes machine.

3/9 If you ask a person to cross the road, they may make the mistake of not looking both ways. They make this mistake because of human feelings (Forgetting, laziness, etc.)

AI when asked to cross the road may accidentally do so backwards. Not a mistake a human would make.

2/9 For my example, I will use an image that many people were recently shocked to discover was AI. (Confirmed by poster)

My identification technique revolves around asking:

"Why did the artist make this mistake or choice?"

Humans and AI make mistakes, sometimes the same, sometimes different.

I know waifu > meta but somehow in other games I play they coexist. My Cas, Cyrene, Cinny and Evernight team in HSR is pretty meta. My girl Miyabi in ZZZ is and I love every Anomaly agent. And in Genshin my all time favourite characters are Neuvillette, Furina and Baizhu who all work in a team.

Like I said in the now deleted post, I will still be finishing the Cyrene art too! I just drew this one because the 3.7 story hit me in the feels o(〒﹏〒)o

Reposted because I was mad I accidentally left the shading layer on top high opacity. I hope I can still enter the edited version to the contest... I'll have to see :')

Don't worry, will still be finishing the Cyrene drawing :3

If you're wondering why this isn't the Cyrene image, I finally finished the Amphoreus story and I got so emotional about it I needed to do a goodbye picture.

I figured I'd enter this to the Vgen monthly challenge instead, because to me it represents the theme better.

I wish they could be happy...

by soon I mean another day :'3 💤🛏️
hopefully tomorrow!!

Does anyone else work on their art like this, jumping around to different areas when you get stuck on one, making progress in a weird all-over sort of way?

I feel like my WIPs always look a little all over the place as I add in small corrections to return to later.
