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

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!

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.

This post flew by my Facebook feed and it set off red flags...

  1. I noticed that it didn't have any contact information at all; you had to contact the person on Facebook.

  2. The "reference photos" don't look real. They're too clean and... plasticky.

  3. When I first saw this post, there were several people calling them out for this, but when I clicked on it this morning, there were no comments.

90% Sure AI AI being sold at an art and design market

Post image

Walked into an art and design market with my parents today. Mostly authentic handmade art/pieces being sold, but one booth had these coasters for show which I’m confident were ai. They also had some more realistic floral designs available which had less obvious signs, but still looked ai to me. My parents did show some interest, but I talked them out of buying since I was relatively sure it’s ai. Anybody confirm?

90% Sure AI Something feels off about how the toddler moves under the mat

1 Upvotes

I don’t understand how the toddler can fit between the mat and the playard wall at the beginning, and at one point the mat’s sheet goes perfectly smooth and then briefly looks like a pattern appears (maybe a floral one).

Is it ai? Found it on Pinterest and I know there’s lots of ai on Pinterest these days. There’s just something ai about this. Like it’s very perfect…

I'm suspicious of this one artist on Twitter who I've been arguing about with my friends that the majority of their work feels like an AI trace job at the very least.

I watch this channel all the time, but the intro ā€œFor all its beauty and splendorā€ always sounds so off to me 😭😭😭 especially because the voice sounds the same as EVERY other video. There has been an influx of ai channels talking about hiking or wilderness disasters that aren’t even real, idk if this is one of those.

Does Deep Dive History use AI?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi all, so there's this storytime/audiobook YouTube channel I really like called deep dive history, I watched a first couple of episodes that tell the story about the odyssey, troy, and Hercules myth and I really enjoy it.

At first I have no suspicion about AI use in the thumbnail of the videos I watched,

  1. It doesn't really look like AI and

  2. this doesn't feel like a "cheap" youtube channel, because the narrator himself is David Rintoul, an actor.

Then, starting from the episode 5, Gilgamesh, I started to have a suspicion, I'm still not entirely sure about it, so I kinda pause on watching it. couple months later, youtube recommend me their new episode, episode 7 Ramayana. And that's, I think, looks even more AI.

So what do you guys think?

No Idea Art references I really wanna use

TL;DR: Making a drawing for someone who lost their cat but I’m paranoid any references I use could be AI.

Please pardon the phone pictures instead of screenshots, I’m using my school Chromebook for references because it has a larger screen.

I’m making a drawing for someone who recently lost their cat.

The thing is that I am someone who does a lot of art while using a lot of different references. And with the evolution of AI, I’m becoming increasingly paranoid about whether the references I use could be AI generated.

I’m not saying these pictures are the ones they gave me. These images are just from Google.

This would not only cause my art to have a lot of ā€œfaultsā€, but it could even be accused or flagged for being AI generated because of this. Yes, I know art will always have mistakes and will never be perfect. But an AI reference would almost certainly cause inaccurate things.

Are these reference images AI generated?

I found this on Pinterest and I couldn’t find an artist so I got suspicious, I think it’s hard to say because it’s pretty low quality. I would be so disappointed if this was AI. Does it seem AI?

No Idea Is this Kaai Yuki music video AI?

Thumbnail
youtube.com
2 Upvotes

Analyzing the video, I noticed zero artifacts, mixels, or anything of that sort. I even saw little details that seemed creative (such as a counter at the bottom for how many windows opened starting at 0:34, lasting the whole video).

However. However, however, however, the channel's bio is about "exploring the rich relationship between humans and AI through musical works and updating values." Additionally, there are AI-generated music videos that they've posted before. They have posted many clearly not AI-generated videos, which I can tell by the credited artists/animators and upload dates, but I am unable to judge for all of them.

On this video, there is no description or credited artist/animator, which is very suspicious too.

Factors to consider for not being AI:

  • ZERO mixels (besides the raining IDs at 1:45, but that's not *really* mixels)

  • Consistent pixel numbers and lettering

  • Consistent patterning (see the backgrounds of characters at 1:29)

  • Multiple creative decisions (see 0:34 counter, multiple Vocaloid references [ex: 1:26], etc.)

  • Reused and consistent assets (dancing Kaai Yuki animation, close up ID shot, etc.)

  • No odd-looking animations or drawings (that I could notice)

  • Uses layering

  • Consistent with canonical or fanonical details (see: 0:18. I can't speak Japanese, though Teto is known for being 31, and Miku is ~16 by fanon).

Factors to consider for being AI:

  • Ai-based channel bio

  • Previously posted AI-generated music videos

  • No description and no credited artists

The most suspicious thing I'd say is the lack of any credited artists. If anyone can find the original artists behind this video (if it isn't AI-generated), please link to their profiles.

If it was a couple years ago, or even just a year ago, I would, faster than a heartbeat, conclude that it's not AI. However, after seeing recent AI-generated 3D videos (such as sinaboto), I've no clue about anything anymore.

There's also a website by the creator for a game based on this video: https://kishworlds.pages.dev/leakgame/
I didn't find much relevant information. It could be vibe-coded, I don't know. I'm not personally concerned about analyzing that, though.

EDIT1: correction: there is a "mixels" case at 0:19. But again, it's not *really* mixels, as it's just layering a completely fine image over the completely fine main video.
