This is why we can't post... Reminder About Crossposting

9 Upvotes

Hello there! You're welcome to crosspost from other communities to r/isitAI, however don't post from ours to other communities. I received reports about witch hunts on an unrelated community. This makes us look bad. You should be respecting the other subreddit's rules and Reddit's rules.

Absolutely no witch hunts. It creates too much negativity.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm u/couldveBeenSasha, the founding moderator of r/isitAI.

Thanks for coming here to check if something is AI or not. Please keep in mind, this subreddit is not anti AI.

What to Post
Post anything you're feeling doubtful about being AI. DO NOT JUST NAME THE POST "IS IT AI?" Make sure to highlight what specifically is leading you to believe it may be AI generated. Also, include the source of your image or video.

What Not to Post

  1. I Spy's: No images or videos where you already know it's AI generated but you want to test to see if others can see it too.
  2. Self Promotion: Don't promote your AI detection service.
  3. Political Content: It's allowed BUT make sure to post source and don't post for the sole purpose of instigating people into political debates. If it's solely political and the discussion deviates from identifying if it's AI or not, it will be deleted and OP will be banned.
  4. If it’s a meme, please visit r/isthisaicirclejerk instead.
  5. Commenters can help you narrow down AI artifacts by using Spot Comments. Here are the steps on how to create one. added 1/25/2026

Its just weird how the bow ends tangled and the shading on some of it are, its a very popular artist and none of their other tattoos look ai generated

I asked them if it was gen ai and they took offence so i dont know :/

90% Sure AI Tattoo artists denied this is AI

I was supposed to get a Ponyo themed tattoo. The artist asked me to pick some scenes I liked. Firstly, this isn't even close to the design I asked for.

I'm 99% sure it's AI. I called out the artist she didn't outright deny it but said she "made it in Procreate". When I pointed out stuff like the two sets of feet, four fingers/toes, the fact that some of the hands and feet are just circles with dots, she doubled down and said "those were simply minor tracing errors" mind you this was supposed to be a final draft and was sent to me at 11pm the night before a 10 am appointment.

Her explanation makes no sense to me. How can you make an error and trace two sets of feet that didn't exist in the original image.

Just very annoyed. These are characters and images that already exist and she couldn't even be bothered to trace them? There were other red flags with the artist so I ultimately cancelled and won't be getting tattooed by this person.

I first believed the drawings were done with pencils, but the more I look at it, the more unsure I feel. The artist doesn't say their name and there's no link to another social media. Their account is only a few weeks old and have a lot of these comics posted already.

Is it AI? I hope it isn't, I found these so pretty...

I've been to this place for piercings before, and this was off their recent flash sheet. Anyone calling them out seems to have either had their comments deleted or been blocked.

Concert Poster Seems… Eh?

This venue swears they have a no AI policy and according to the venue, the band says the artist they hired doesn’t use AI. They’ve also supposedly used AI detection tools that come back clear. I’ll admit, I’m not the best at catching AI, but something about this seems off? The face isn’t symmetrical, the armor also doesn’t match from side to side.
Eagle eyed Redditors, tell me what you see.

Growing tired

13 Upvotes

Honestly I'm kinda growing tired of people not using their eyes.
Like, I get maybe not being as quick to realize and some of em in here have
had me pretty stumped before myself. but honestly

So many of these are blatant. and it feels less like they are being posted here because they genuinely don't know. and more like we're being treated like a glorified AI checker.

Missing fingers, cat's with too human of expressions, the most uncanny body movements you could ever see. so many of them leave me just saying

"A-Are you serious?"

I beg. please before posting here. really look for yourself first.

Yes, it's probably AI.

My grandma got this for me and I have no clue where this is from. I’ve tried to figure out what the brand is but I can’t find anything besides it being sold on reselling sites.
I noticed the art looks a little goofy but I can’t tell if this was made with AI or if it’s just a very shawty design.

edit: THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT ACCUSING. Asking is not accusing. I recognize that there are people who make no attempt at AI deduction before turning to reddit, and to that degree, I do understand feeling frustrated. I also understand that paranoia of AI can be detrimental, but with our attitude we can rectify that, and there is value to people's choice of valuing authenticity even if they feel the need to seek a second opinion.

Some people have a harder time recognizing AI, that's what this subreddit is for in the first place, and yet people are being blamed for using it appropriately. I just don't understand.

In addition, blaming people instead of appropriately informing them of giveaways and indicators is completely counterintuitive, it's not going to make that person any better at recognizing AI, but it sure is going to discourage them from seeking a second opinion in the future, if not encourage them not to care at all if this is the response they get from a community that's supposed to be helping them. To me it looks like a superiority complex that manifests as soon as anyone fairly and politely questions the authenticity of "obviously real" media, as if suddenly every person is expected to have the exact same ability to recognize something even though that line of thought completely contradicts this subreddit's purpose
