owlpellet:

my identity as the guy who points out generative images because i believe in people having the skill to discern them to both protect themselves and artists is constantly at odds with the part of me that doesn’t want to be an annoying killjoy on things like funny memes but i think just for the sake of people who try to avoid it altogether: those pixelated-looking wizards are generative AI, as are like, 90% of all the classically-styled wizard images suddenly appearing on social media (like, if you see a wizard with impact font, it’s… probably AI)

the pixelated style in these memes, i think, throws a lot of people off because it obscures a lot of the crunchy details and isn’t typical of usual generative styles, but it still has the hallmarks of details that can’t be explained, nonsense architecture, and objects fusing together (nevermind the weird hands).

i’m just going to keep pointing these things out even if it makes me Not Fun. I just want people to understand where the things they share originate.

Guns are hard enough that you can normally FIND the real gun a fictional gun is based off of. (No shade, even Tevruden has this)

And the geometry on these is just bad as AI trying to do a tile floor.

(They’re bad at 3D geometry and regular, repeating, patterns)
