This was cooked up in a lab as the perfect bait for hexbear
Either trolling or they have no idea what AI art looks like. Even if I didn't already know this wasn't AI, it has none of the hallmarks.
I actually think Disco Elysium helped popularize the style a bit just before the AI-image boom stuff.
I invoke my right to declare today as the day where I miss every obvious bit I come across. I have done it twice today and I will not be stopped
Dunno if this person is joking but it wouldn't be the first time a piece of art was wrongly accused of being AI generated. This is something that really concerns me about "AI" art and the backlash against it. Especially for artists whose work is intentionally strange or uncanny in some way. I'm just waiting for the day a novice artist gets cancelled because they too can't draw hands.
Is "AInvestigations" a term yet?
Not yet, but I suspect that at some point in the future it will become standard practice to document your process of making art exhaustively to avoid being called a "prompt engineer". It'll be like streaming your speedrun attempts - if you're respected enough in the community you can get away with not doing it, but if you just show up one day with a good run but no documentation it's a little sus.
I've seen a lot of posts on sites like Instagram and Tiktok where artists post their timelapses proving they weren't using AI, so it seems like the future is now
