No one looking at this is able to tell if the images themselves are AI generated at this point in time
I'd say many artists can at least probably tell because he starts out drawing with a light sketch first. People who don't draw wouldn't think to generate the steps in between like that.
Also, the rock is pretty clearly the same. And the drawing is consistent.
I agree that AI slop wouldn't be able to produce this. But for someone who knows what they're doing with image generation and open source tools, these images are easy to generate through sequential generation where: first an overview picture with all the objects is produced and then the first image is used as the input for the second image and so on.
But the way, I don't think that the images are generated. I'm just saying that we wouldn't be able to tell if they were
I'm not doubting what you're saying, if anything I'm trying to make sure I understand how that kind of workflow would create something like this. My understanding of image to image generation wouldn't get results anywhere near this consistent.
