I cannot tell that this is AI. I thought it was a human’s work. I don’t believe this is AI. If this is AI, then I have to admit that AI is better than I thought – not sure why you’d say it’s useless.
I can’t recall memes being hand drawn in Ghibli style until they made Ghibli style AI reproducible a couple of days ago. So let’s just say that the probability of a lot of memes using Ghibli style art going forward is probably close to 99.9% certain of being AI generated.
If you zoom in there’s a number of tells. Just to name a few, The man’s right hand thumb, the ends of the sticks, the bottom girls hands, the fusing of the boy’s hands, the boy’s left leg. Just gotta look close and think.
I also can’t. If people believe that other normal people can tell the difference they are surely mistaken. From the comments supposedly you have to know how to detect some micro flaws and zoom a lot already knowing where to look.
Sure, let me believe you, a random person on the internet. In all seriousness, I could believe either way, but you just saying that without any explanation is pretty useless.
Also there’s a weird rectangle in the guy’s hands that doesn’t match the scene (paper? dollar bill?), the rolled up thing in the ledft corner is clearly a bastardization of a soda bottle and a rolled-up newspaper, and there’s some weird white chunk on the middle girl’s forehead that feels like it’s supposed to be a physical colouring error.
Yep, though the link and explanation of the recent trends also helped a lot. I just just taking a pot shot at at the general “just trust me bro” vibe, but I probably went a bit too mean at the end there.
This was actually my favourite detail though. It gives the apocalypse this sense of immediacy which I think is important for the message it’s trying to tell.

This is absolutely AI generated, friend.
How can you tell though?

You’re almost certainly right, but there’s nothing in the image that gives it away as obviously AI, is there?
Not that I can see, no. I’m just saying: “New AI slop dropped, prepare to get flooded”
Yep. Hopefully this trend burns itself out pretty quickly.

Looking at the background also tends to help. If you look at the city, it looks realistic at first. But once you zoom in, it makes a lot less sense.
I know it because it’s a copy of a comic I saw about a decade ago that I know for a fact was not styled like this
Edit: finally got more than the preview to load and I can now see that this is a riff not a rip Edit2: original comic
I realise it’s referencing another comic, but based on just the art alone, it’s hard to tell, isn’t it?
If it was an actual artist rather than someone typing a prompt into an AI, they would have known that it’s “Studio Ghibli” not “Ghibli Studio”…
I also can’t. If people believe that other normal people can tell the difference they are surely mistaken. From the comments supposedly you have to know how to detect some micro flaws and zoom a lot already knowing where to look.
The future is not good.
It still can’t do hands for shit except for things it has a lot of data for, and still has that “AI shine” and artifacting but somewhat filtered.
Downvoting not because I disagree with you, but because you provide no evidence.
You have to be a bot. Because I don’t believe an actual human could be this dumb

I’m sorry, that’s against my terms of servicewhoops, sorry. I meant – thank you for educating me about the latest human trend.Rather than calling people dumb, has it ever occurred to you that maybe they’re simply ignorant of a very recent AI trend?
Everyone should be permanently online and eating all the new info released in the last few hours about the stupidest latest trends. Obviously.

It has to do with the “flatness” of the general composition. It reeks of AI. A human usually needs to intervene to prevent that.
Are you happy now?
Also there’s a weird rectangle in the guy’s hands that doesn’t match the scene (paper? dollar bill?), the rolled up thing in the ledft corner is clearly a bastardization of a soda bottle and a rolled-up newspaper, and there’s some weird white chunk on the middle girl’s forehead that feels like it’s supposed to be a physical colouring error.
The rectangle is just the gap between his arm and body, isn’t it?
The other stuff is odd, but not a smoking gun by any means.

You weren’t mean at all. I’m a snarky, cranky fuck sometimes, it’s not on you lol.
No human in their right mind would put a well kempt dude in a suit into a post apocalyptic comic. It just doesn’t make sense.
But it’s literally based off of a cartoon with a man in a suit, though: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/story-tom-toro-new-yorker-climate-cartoon
This was actually my favourite detail though. It gives the apocalypse this sense of immediacy which I think is important for the message it’s trying to tell.
I don’t know why you’re getting boo’d, you’re right!
