  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).

    So these are 2 images I asked AI for, which are admittedly terrible. But beyond that, I’m unsure of the distinguishing features that pegs it as AI. Any guidance (other than never make these images again - for obvious reasons)?

      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.

        I think, ChatGPT usually produces those. Very recognisable, and remind me of one comic artist that also makes characters with eerie smiles, simplified style, but also very dark humour and traumas. Can’t remember their name, though.

      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.

  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

  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.
