How can you even tell?
In this case it's easy: There's multiple places where the cross-hatching doesn't make sense stroke-wise. The stippling is weird and overdone, can you imagine a human moving their pen like that? Why spend like 99% of the work on what's, thematically, negative space? ...that's because the AI has trouble understanding that cross-hatching is lines, and that dithering isn't stippling, it confuses an art style with scans of photographs printed in newspapers.
A human also wouldn't have gotten the shape of the arch and even more so pyramid wrong.
GTFO here with "soulless" that's the AI critique equivalent of "I can tell by the pixels". Of course this shit doesn't have soul it's, thematically, a fucking technical drawing. Sibs be saying "Plato was an AI, here, his drawing of the solids, they lack soul". You ever seen a dodecahedron with soul?
It's bland and the shapes aren't all equal squares from some direction. Some of them are rectangles from their 'square' direction.
