@pina_marzo's post on Artfol

A user of AI image generators claims their artworks are hand-made. What do you do? I have some suspicions about one Instagram user, who states using photobashing and rendering, but their artworks contain weird incoherences which don't seem coming from a human mind. Do you know anybody who is specialised in verifying the human/AI origin of images and exposing fake artists scams? Or any advice? I tell myself I should just ignore them, but it really upsets me seeing an (allegedly) AI bro taking part in dtiys of small artists feeding their original drawings to some machine and claiming the filtered result as their own and even stating that it was a lot of long and hard hand-made work.Mar 8, 2023

It is normally very easy to identify whether an artwork is made by a real artist or an AI.
AIs have trouble with rendering fingers, symmetrical eyes and mash together shapes to produce structures, all of which artists don't do. Even a beginner artist draws with purpose and feeling whereas an AI doesn't.

Personally, I wouldn't confront the user because they know exactly what they're doing and will just get defensive. People like that are not worth wasting my time on. I would block the user and probably let the artist hosting the DTIYS know that the AI bro entered their competition. What they choose to do from there is their decision.
Now is a good time for artists to start training their eyes to discern the AI generated art while it's still developing in this way. I recall that there's a new program that can detect if written words were generated by AI like chatgpt to catch students who say it's their essay and whatnot. Probably there will be a program made to detect if art is also AI generated, which would be great.
