Send me "AI" slop, so I can practice recognizing it
I asked over there about how to spot "AI" images, now I need some pictures to practice this on, and IDK where to find pictures that are definitely "AI"-generated
Not a collection but rather a good guide to spotting AI photos and art. TL;DW AI generators don’t distinguish file types and different camera sensors when dredging for content to feed their databases and thus AI images end up with different artifacts squished together.
This isn't really a good way to spot it. Theres a lot of tools that artists use that can end up with digital paintings doing weird artifacting like this, one I can think of are custom brushes or people that collage to make their art. Also, theres a whole new brand of artist that uses AI in a workflow to make their images faster. They might sketch something out and then have ai fill in the most time consuming parts (such as a head of hair) and it will all look very believably not AI. It basically is just collaging but way faster.
He did show that heavy-duty sharpening can produce similar artifacts, so he acknowledged that you’ve got to evaluate the theming/consistency/style of the artifacting.
Bad take. LLM 'art' is made with stolen training data- literally someone's labour- with the express purpose of removing human artists ability to make a living from their work and we should all be opposed to it the same way we're opposed to any other stolen labour
Me using photoshop/gimp/krita is removing the local paint man's ability to sell paint and we should oppose photoshop/gimp/krita because it exploits the people who work on it with low wages and... you know its just all ridiculous, AI shit isnt going to replace artists except in the most evil shit you can imagine like fucking billboard ads or in the most mundane shit like someone generating quick art for a throwaway dnd character. This same hand-wringing was done about digital manipulation software, I'm old enough to remember that outrage too and its the same shit.
Theres all these stories of companies trying to get rid of artists and just telling some random person to generate art for them and it always blows up in their faces, and I frankly see almost no chance of it getting better.
A while back (about a year and a half ago) I used to use photoshop and A.I photos to "collage" them together into singular pieces. I don't do it anymore as I find using photos I can take myself to be easier than trying to depend on a slopbot but here are some of the A.I ones. I used it because I was ignorant and unaware of the social and environmental costs of LLMs and A.I slop. That has changed for the better, now.
Reason I post this is because for me, identifying A.I photos is a matter of breaking down the composition of a piece. It helps more if you're an artist too, because you can sort of "break down the composition" by asking yourself how you would accomplish certain parts of it. If it starts to not make sense, well, it's probably not done by a person entirely and that boils down to what your preference for A.I assistance is. People have unique styles, short-hands, etc that appear even with collaged brushes, art-sets and other digital tools even.
So, with that said. What parts strike as A.I to you, stock photo or drawn/edited in? If you wanna make a game, feel free to use different colored markers/brushes. Red for A.I, yellow for stock, green for "drawn-in" whatever you want to use. Some are super obvious, some not so much. One of these have only some lighting/contrast adjustments by A.I with rest photoshop collage-work.
Using AI to help in your workflow isn't a bad thing - but using AI slop in a very meticulously-crafted art project (like Project Zomboid) has a very real effect. It cheapens the experience and the tone. It devalues the artistic intention behind the rest of the game. Worst of all for a game as good as Project Zomboid, it can scare away new potential players who have very legitimate concerns about the ethics of AI in art and games, and makes the game look like a cheap slop cash-grab to others.
this is hilarious to me. project zomboid, truly an artistic experience
