That would explain why an AI model would look like a human made it, not why a human would make something that looks exactly like a bad AI model.

What I think the average person who may not have an eye for art or an attention to details might not understand is, a lot of AI art that comes across as convincing to the untrained eye is still, at the very least, living deep in the uncanny valley.

Much in the same way that an AI voice or video can look somewhat convincing but a little bit off, the same thing is true for AI artwork. People who are artists or who have at least learned to see the nuance in art can often see the weirdness in generative AI "art", even if it is sometimes hard to explain exactly why it feels off (maybe it's the subtlety of the lighting, the shape design, the line quality, etc.).

Can you make AI art that is convincing enough to fool an untrained eye? Easily.

Can you make AI art that is convincing enough to feel a trained eye? Sure, but it's going to be a lot harder.

In the case of these guys, they really aren't fooling almost anyone with their obvious slop. Frankly, it doesn't take a well-tuned eye for artistry to see that their artwork looks like every generic AI slop art output that we've been barraged with over the last year and change.

I'm not going to claim to be good at detecting AI generated content, but for visual content there's clear vibes that AI generated content give that I can never specifically point out, but when I spot them there's usually at least one other person calling out the slop. Yes 3-4 years ago diffusion models would make errors like mangling hands and mushy details, but while newer models get images technically correct, they leave clear vibes that are easy to spot

I fully admit that there are AI-generated images that could fool me. But that's beside the point when like in this case, the images are in a very typical AI-style. It doesn't look like they've put any effort into generating something that could fool people, but just went with what one of the more common models shat out. And those are still fairly obvious to detect IMO. Besides that, their process pictures really don't make a lot of logical sense. I also find it quite unlikely that a human artist would miss a visual gag like the cow using a milk churn and just replace it with a generic blaster.

Guy, everyone thinks they're a Human AI Detector, especially if they have an account on Twitter, Reddit, BlueSky, etc. Which often results in baseless accusations against human made content being called AI generated, which is hilarious to me honestly.
