The snake?? The locket?? The dice?? Come on, girl.

Edit: adding that this is aw.inked Amber Winzen in Hemet, CA in case anyone googles her and happens to see this. Stay away!!

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 :/

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.

Just looking for a general consensus so I can say "hey, these 30 other people also agree you got scammed"

Hello from the adult colouring community. I recently purchased a book by Jade Summer, who if you look her up, is well supported on the non ai colouring lists. However, on her official YouTube she uses Ai music and I keep seeing things like this in the book? Like it's a cobweb, so shouldn't the cupboard should be visible behind it? She says no Ai on her Instagram and her style appears consistent.

edit: whoops aware my edit in red is an incorrect match to the other cupboard. you get the idea though

This artist is always getting advertised to me so I decided to check out their page and it screams AI to me. Anyone else?

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.

We have a cute pet contest coming up and my coworker who is running it thinks this is AI. Is she wrong or not?

Edit: Thank you everyone. My coworker feels justified she’s not crazy.

I think they really want my money...

It’s a flash I saw posted by this guy who’s supposedly been tattooing for years, there’s ZERO posts of any actual tattoos on his account and his flash seems.. suspicious.

There are multiple anatomical mysteries with some of the skeletal pieces, one of the spiders has nine legs, the other blade of the scissors seem to just disappear at a strange angle, the headless cat thing??

Idk it’s all too weird, sorry if part of this post is wrong it’s my first time posting here!

this poetry account came across my instagram feed and one of the posts was kinda sweet so i was swiping through and realized some of it looks like ai slop.. immediately took back my “like” but not sure if i’m being too critical or what. there seem to be some obvious flaws in these three. shit like this makes me depressed honestly.

This post is to show the method I use for checking for AI content, which is more reliable and gives an answer with evidence, rather than working off vibes. It is key to note that I am not against AI content, and I have no bias. I just like to know whether the content I am viewing is AI or not, so I can make informed choices. As such, I work on an innocent until proven to be AI basis.

Step 1: SynthID check
Step 2: Google reverse image search
Step 3: manual research

Step one: SynthID check

The best website to use for detecting SynthID is https://synthid.com/ This site will check for watermarks applied by Nvidia, OpenAI, Google and Kakao in one search. If this tool detects a SynthID watermark, it is guaranteed to have been generated or altered with a website owned by one of those companies or with a local model developed by one of those companies.

SynthID is a hidden watermark that is dispersed across the entire image or video pixels, in the audio soundwaves or through statistical analysis of long form text. It is not stored in metadata, and it cannot be removed by cropping, colour changes or any form of manual alteration without rendering the content heavily distorted, unusable or being entirely different than the original AI content. SynthID will be present and detectable even if you print out the image. It is a watermark developed by Google and is applied at the point of generation. For full details on what SynthID is and how it works, you can read the official paper released by Google ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.09263 ), or if you want the quick blog post explanation, see ( https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/products/google-synthid-ai-content-detector/ )

synthid.com will not be able to detect content made in any other software like ComfyUI, Ollama or other local software unless the model used was developed by one of the listed companies on the site, so it should not be considered the only step in detection.

A note on online detectors. You may have seen many online AI detectors using percentage scores. These are a scam and should never be trusted. They work off visual cues and are no more sophisticated than the "trust me bro™" method. These types of detectors often label books written decades before the mainstream awareness of AI as AI generated. If you see a percentage score, avoid it at all costs.

Step 2: Google reverse image search

If after checking for SynthID you see nothing but still suspect a piece of content is AI generated, load up Google. On the right hand side of the search bar you will see a camera icon with a dot in the lower right corner of the camera.

This is Google Lens. It lets you search the internet via images rather than text. Once you input an image or URL, it will initially bring up similar looking images. Clicking "exact matches" will bring up the closest matches to the image, or images with identical content.

You want to pay close attention to a few details: dates, where the content was posted, and who posted it. For dates, if the content was posted before 2020, it's not AI, especially if the content isn't incoherent nonsense, AI wasn't good before 2020. For location, where content is posted matters: Pinterest for example is now commonly known for having AI content, and if you can only find it on Pinterest or other platforms known for AI content with no other indicators of who posted it, it's not 100% AI, but it's safe to be wary of it. For who posted it, this is one of the biggest giveaways for confirming content isn't AI: if it's a popular artist or someone with a good track record, with no SynthID, and the content is posted across multiple platforms by the same user, then it's not AI.

Step 3: Manual research

If, after following these two steps, you still have no information to go off, then you need to look at where you got the content from. Search the username of the person who posted it, check when the original was posted, and so on. If you cannot find any details about the person who posted it online, and they do not have a history, and there is no SynthID and no other indicators that it is AI, then there is currently no reliable method of conclusively saying whether the content is AI generated. This is where I ask: does it matter? I will tend to lean towards it not being made with AI if I cannot prove it. Your biases may differ depending on your personal feelings towards AI content.

These are the steps I use to determine if something is AI. I hope it helps people. Ideally you do not want to be working off of hunches or personal bias. Do not "trust me bro™" make sure you have evidence.

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.

I really can't tell, is this AI? I really hope it isn't since I paid money for it... any help is greatly appreciated!

The incoherent looking Japanese characters have me a little suspicious, especially on the right and top right. But I can't see any *clear* tells that it is AI.

I'm pretty sure this is AI generated, but I really just want to know. (Forgive the shine, it was bright)

I was watching Smosh play Murder Phone and I cannot tell if this photo is AI or it's real. Help me figure this out please.

Edit: I'm talking about the "SAVE ME!" photo

I have a discord server with an artworks channel and recently, a new member has began posting some of their “art.”

At first, it looked legit at first glance since it was a sketch, so I complimented the art and they said, “Omg thank you so much, it’s my first time drawing. Recently I got kicked out of art servers because they accused me of using AI, but I only used it to enhance the image.”

I replied saying art servers were strict about that and that I believe using AI to enhance art kind of defeats the authenticity of their art anyway. They asked me if AI enhancements counts as “AI art” and I just said to clarify with art servers, but that I also do not support any form of AI art in my server.

They proceeded to send another art that just looked like an AI sketch to me, so I tried to check for a SynthID watermark or whatever it’s called, and it cane back saying it couldn’t detect any. I’m still confused though.

He made these for keychains of characters me and him made, did he actually make these drawings..? They are heavily gacha based btw
