Not quite. Therizinot drew this years ago, where the text is actually legible:
An AI ripped it off. [Edit: or as Python suggested, somebody used a “smart” automated editing tool equally across the whole image without inspecting the end result nor selectively choosing where to and where not to use the tool, which is functionally the same thing as an “AI” image upscaler/enhancer]
I have some pretty severe doubts that an AI could replicate that so precisely.
More likely it's AI upscaling.
Yes? Nobody said it wasn’t
[Edit: *had said. After these comments had been posted, Python suggested an alternative that to me seems functionally similar to what we refer to as AI upscaling]
I know what it is! OP was edited with Clip Studio Paints "Smart Smoothing" feature. Here's what I got when I pulled the image you posted through one smart smoothing (strong) plus one Sharpen filter:
The way CSP bleeds colors with their rendering features is quite distinct, but you need to see it to recognize it in the future. I think the Smoothing filters are technically not AI, but it's still a dick move to use them on someone else's art.
CSP has an AI Colorize tool too, which you can recognize quite easily by the fact that it wildly overshoots some areas and applies a weird gradient smear all around the line art. Visual example generated from my own art:
Ohhh, thats why it had a more unique style and a kind of consistency thats less seen in ai works
