I think this maybe deserves more attention.

Anyhow, I found the video for people curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBDNbpWSUx8

This one I’ve never heard

Depends what clothes I’m wearing when it happens.

If I’m wearing anything that could remotely be seen as fancy back then (which I mean a lot of modern clothes could pass off as), since I’m near the ocean, I’d immediately run into the water not seeing anyone, and then pretend I’m a royal foreigner who ended up shipwrecked. Since I usually wear a watch, have a tungsten (Wolfram) crystal wedding band as well, that would help me in passing off as royalty as well. This is assuming the people helping me aren’t brigands. There’s things we do and know of that we take for granted that could be used to pass off as someone upper class too, like reading.

Then next steps would be to get to an aristocrats home, and eventually I’d imagine somewhere where I could work with scholars so they can teach me the language and we can work on translation so we can understand each other. Would have to be extremely careful of smallpox during all this of course.

Once we could, that’s when I’d finally whip out my phone to trusted scholars and pull up my survival books, books on plumbing, etc specifically, and to explain that this is a special metal and glass book that can hold many books that’s common in the land I’m from, and that I can teach them how to build them. But that we’d need to build plumbing because I’d like a shower by then.

That is not feasible, especially when it covers to the type of QR codes shown in the example, because humans can’t read QR codes, which means we can’t warp the data points in the QR just barely enough so that a reader could still pick it up because it’s within the error threshold - we don’t know what the threshold is. We could do something black and white with exact accuracy, like by using graph paper, but that wouldn’t be the same as there’s no warping of the code points, so what a human could do would at best always be a worse illusion than what the AI could do, because the AI can know what limit it can warp the QR too while keeping it readable, while we can’t.

That’s why I used this as an example - this is something only a machine can feasibly do with any practicality, because we don’t have machine vision so as to calculate where error thresholds would lie if trying to reproduce by hand. I suppose if you’re really, really good with math, you might be able to replicate something like what I posted, such as the red panda - but at that point, is using math to draw art? If so, then AI would be considered art too. If not, then 3D rendering isn’t art either.

I think they’re pointing out some hypocrisy.

For example, at what percentage of it being AI generated does it no longer be considered art? Backgrounds only? 30%? 5?

What about something created that could only be realistically done with AI, like stylized QR codes?

Having an issue with these things but not 3D rendered art, Photoshop, etc is the issue. I guess it’s a bit pointless on this community, but having such a black and white view on the tech is really dumb.

And for the record, I am opposed to some AI - primarily commercial AI trained on data that wasn’t paid - I’m just not opposed to open source things that are run locally, especially if for non-commercial purposes.

If we’re doing anecdotes, the Mexican side of my family loves Sheinbaum too and are not in Lemmy (+1 friend and her boyfriend as well)

Better name too

This is better evidence, but still would be difficult to keep such consistency with the character. That would be quite the advancement itself.

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.

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

I’d download this but I’m worried it could also contain some form of advanced spyware, and my “security computer” needs a new screen cable at the moment.

I just assumed it was an issue with Excel to be honest

Not to mention the irony of riding in the most phallic of all the rockets ever made

I like how both responses to this question so far are complete opposite

Well at least Nintendo is releasing new hardware, don’t know the fuck Sony is smoking

Well the gun mousetrap was approved so I’m unsure.
