Every time someone vouches for ai to make “art” all i hear is “AI sets you free.” Not good, indeed very odd stuff.
That's not the only meme it's referencing, OP.
DRRR DRRR
Are we really turning to AI to create a few 3D shapes and a rock wall with a hole in it?
I get the joke - it’s funny even. But seriously I would rather see a crude stick drawing from someone with no artistic talent than this soulless slop.
Someone made a better version back in 2021 as well.
This is a million times better than that Ai slop
It's so fucking common these days. I keep seeing it on things I want to like, but I refuse to encourage the behavior.

how did you recognise it? I only managed to after zooming in to see the wobble in the text
This is the new comic style being spammed everywhere. I think the most telling thing is that literally everything has this paper texture in a digital drawing, except the speech bubble, also this font is very specific to them.
It is getting harder spotting AI, but very doable yet.
Sizes are off, especially the circle wouldn't fit.
Personally? Vibes. Specifically, it feels very... uniform. Like, a human artist good enough to draw like that would be better at composition, I think?
More practically, even the newer ones struggle with specific shapes; look at the arch, no human would draw that weird hybrid of an arch and a... semi-donut?
Older models struggle with lining stuff up and keeping things straight over long distances. The latest ones struggle with constant curvatures.
Yeah it's funny how something on a "vibes" level just made me feel like me something was off and made me look into it closer. I worry that one day I won't have that weird feeling anymore.
The obvious one to me was the two pyramid triangle things.
The block box thing only comes with one.
Agreed, but it's all downhill from here. When AI generated content is completely indistinguishable from human, things will

I'm not an anti-AI absolutist, but for environmental reasons we should significantly cut down on the use of AI, especially for unnecessary things such as memes.
My GPU generates stuff in seconds that would take hours to make, once the model is trained it's pretty much no energy to use it.
Okay fair enough.
I mean if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that's really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.

I just got the hardcopy of this novel about a week ago and it's amazing.
I’m oblivious. What novel is this?
Other commenter got the title. The artist is Junji Ito, and he has a lot of works as equally creepy as this one. Uzumaki might be the most popular one

The Enigma of Amigara Fault
This is far side for millennials and i like it lol
Edit: Oh god it's AI trash. Sad
Report it and hopefully they'll take it down.
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.
