I’m old. Help me not fall victim to AI slop again. How could you tell it was AI?

ai slop

it’s the exact same style used in almost all ai slop comics lately. you can tell by face alone; it’s almost identical in all of them, even with different features (like facial hair).

no, I don’t know what you used but this is not what I’m talking about. you can find inconsistencies, colors that don’t make sense, a whole set of issues but that’s AI in general.
what I’m talking about a very specific style that vaguely apes the ligne claire style of comics, adding an old paper filter and completely lacking soul. they can have zero “errors” and still be recognizable because they are so exact and eerily similar in their style. there’s a difference between a person drawing in a particular style and a machine emulating it.
You can see these comics on Lemmy from time to time, although it might be getting less common since it gets negative comments every time. I’m pretty sure they come from one particular comic generator. or possibly multiple that use the same underlying model.
They have the same soulless faces, usually very limited and recognizable facial expressions. i recently saw one with dinosaurs and even they had the exact facial expressions that I’ve seen in other AI slop comics. they also have the same faux lettering font for text.

In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white

If you look at the details, there are signs, like structures or geometry that don’t make sense or aren’t aligned properly. Things an artist with intent would have no reason to draw that way.

There isn’t a real way to tell anymore other then using ai detector (there are a few free websites). What people are referring to is the specific style chatgpt uses by default when making comics. They are currently the best for generating comics with text, but they overlay their style so the hate isn’t directed towards them. We are very close to having open source tools that can generate full comic pages with text in whatever style asked of it.

In this case:
- this comic artstyle is very characteristic of AI, down to the line weight, facial expression (these soulless eyes and smile), and how the character is positioned;
- the bus has no door;
- the picture has a yellow-ish tint, which has been plaguing certain AI image generators ever since the AI Ghibli trend. They likely overtrained their slop machines on Studio Ghibli works and various other “cozy” artstyles/pictures.

It seems to spit this out whenever you ask for comic style. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is.

The colors in a lot of AI images are very yellow

Unlike humans an AI probably wouldn’t make a mistake like “El Salvadorian”

I can’t even figure out what I’ve noticed about these things, and it pisses me off that it rings a false positive whenever I read newspaper comics

Line weight. The round eyes. The color. The exact same smile. Same angles to the viewer. 45 or direct… There are so many telltale signs.

When everyone starts using the same style, it’s either everyone hiring the same artist (unlikely) or they used AI.

There is a mathematic perfection that our brains easily recognize even if we can’t articulate it. The human brain is unmatched at the task of visual pattern recognition.

I see now. I was still on the fence about it, thinking it could also be someone’s drawing trying to emulate those travel agencies ass style, but the 45° or direct angle at the camera is so true

Honestly the silver lining with all this is how innately obvious it is what it is currently.
Literally just reeks of the same level of effort as someone making a meme out of clipart or one of those boomers that uses that fancy Facebook status feature.
If you need to generate a hero image to make your witty tweet good enough to share, maybe go back to the drawing board
