Someone explain to me why i have a sense for ai? This is like the fourth time this week i see an ai image and i spotted it even tho at first i hadnt seen the mistakes the ai made. Something just feels off in ai pictures and i cant really pin down what it is. But when i see one i can just spot it for some reason.
Uncanny valley. The AI gets things right overall, but not enough that you don't realize somerhing is wrong.
For me it's the arms being fused with the table,pessimist only having one arm, the faces that feel too generic/soulless (like, they barely change between pesimist and excel), the "optimist" being the glass and not another character...
The glass is also weirdly large considering it looks like it should be at roughly the same distance as the people.
The glass is also speaking, as opposed to a third person.
I noticed that the new image model doesn't like pure white backgrounds.
How do you determine that something is AI?
The uncanny valley. It looks overall right, but some details don't feel quite right even if you dln't know which ones.
So, vibes basically.
Yeah, until you find what's actually wrong, like the arms that fuse with the table, the talking glass, the almost identical faces, the glass being giantic, the backgroud colour, the specific artstyle (just like when AI made images that looked too shiny and shit, and it was obvious it was AI)...
Yesterday I laughed at this, today Excel stripped leading zeros from a sheet of UPCs and converted them to floating point.
Also format as Text apparently means nothing
Not OP, but let's make this better:
PS: i doubt anyone here would honestly say "damn, that's beyond my skill", which goes to show that "not everyone can draw" is a bullshit argument for using AI to make comics
Most of the time it took me do this since I posted your image as a meme, and this one I made, was installing a phone app, realizing it wasn't installing because I have it configured to not install with mobile data, then learn how the app works + I used my finger (a simple touchpen is cheap af to the point it sometimes comes with some regular pens, I have one but it's broken lmao). Hella easier on PC with a mouse and my PC shortcuts, or with a working touchpen, imo, but easy as fuck anyways.
Edit: I forgot to add the last guy his arms crossed or something, I should just go sleep XD
Last panel has strong Carl vibes
This is so much better. Thank you for spending the roughly 5 minutes to make this that OP should have spent instead of barfing out some soulless junk.
god this feels so much more fucking alive
I'll learn blender just to make this a scene. BRB 1 weened
The glass is floating in the air. The excel character says something without a speaking bubble. Looks kinda souless.
Probably just AI slop.
Probably just AI slop.
You just gotta ask another AI to fix it.
How can excel even see the glass? And the other two, are they in front of the table? In the table?
Slop on top of slop.
If you're going to pout, we can put you in the corner. That might be funny.
I've been exposed! 🤖
"Please put your pants back on robot sir." 🙊
Clippie: it appears that your trying to something or another blah blah blah jackidy shmackidy.
How could you tell that was AI? I honestly just thought that was a drawing
There's quite a discussion about that further elsewhere in this thread. To me, the combination of vector-like thick lines with that background color, the characters having such mute expressions and there not being one actual optimist.
Others also pointed to the "weirdness" that is the lines of the characters' arms becoming part of the table, which I didn't notice at first.
Perhaps more importantly, it does not look like the "author" has "zero drawing skill", but actually knows how to make vector art, even if relatively simple. That makes the problems more glaring
The glass is half foal.
Hard to belle-ieve
Was this made by ai? It looks soulless, and the coffee cup is talking.
Who drinks coffee out of a transparent pint glass?
Me if I don't think properly.
I admire that glass's self confidence
