Someone explain to me why i have a sense for ai? This is like the fourth time this week i see an ai image and i spotted it even tho at first i hadnt seen the mistakes the ai made. Something just feels off in ai pictures and i cant really pin down what it is. But when i see one i can just spot it for some reason.

I noticed that the new image model doesn't like pure white backgrounds.

It's become such a reliable tell that I'm genuinely curious why AI seems to think that cartoon images MUST look like they're drawn on old paper.

EDIT: The AI answer I got when asking Google was about what I'd expect, but this last bit I hadn't considered:

Sepia tones can help unify the color palette of an image, making it more visually cohesive and pleasing. This could be a factor in the AI's decision to use sepia, as it can contribute to a sense of order and harmony in the generated image.

So it uses it to try and make it more visually appealing to a wide audience, leading to it looking even more bland and uninspired.

There's also some artifacting around the lines that are reminiscent of JPEG, but not kind of that, and it seems like the text is superimposed onto it in a second or third pass by an external tool to make it look more consistent.

How do you determine that something is AI?
