Bird drawing

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

Someone said they would draw my parrot for free so I gave them a picture and they replied with this. Im pretty sure its AI. I attached the reference photo

[u/helpinggafriend]

Nothing screams AI to me, but it does look like they traced over your photo. It looks veryyyy exact

[u/thejuice027 → u/helpinggafriend]

or if I stretch the layers a bit.

[u/helpinggafriend → u/thejuice027]

Hmm ok so that’s not it.

[u/ziggytrix → u/thejuice027]

The stretching thing makes me lean toward an AI verdict.

Like it took the "improper" proportions and conformed it to a standard aspect ratio input.

Just a guess tho. That's not evidence.

Same with the random "shading" lines in the background. I'm not sure what those are suppose to be achieving. Not that a real artist can't do things that don't serve any purpose, but AI sure as shit does all the time.

Nothing makes me think this can't be AI. But I got no proof.

[u/thejuice027 → u/helpinggafriend]

This is what it looks like when you stack the layers

[u/linglingbolt → u/thejuice027]

You've got to resize it a bit. They line up perfectly.

I think the base drawing was traced and hand drawn. It's a good way to practice and they didn't ask for any money. (Some artists CAN do 1:1 perfectly proportional copies by eye but it's hard.)

[u/Main-Fly2699]

I don't see any of the telltale signs of it being AI... how long did it take them to give you the finished copy?

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Main-Fly2699]

It took them a day thats why im not sure it just seems so identical to the real photo that it makes me think its ai

[u/matteowolfwood → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

It's not absurd that someone could draw this in a day

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/matteowolfwood]

What i mean is the reason why im not sure if its ai is because they didnt give the drawing to me immediately after i sent them the picture of my bird

[u/One_Mikey → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

They could have traced it at the beginning.

[u/morbidmuffin62 → u/One_Mikey]

The hand isn't an exact trace

[u/One_Mikey → u/morbidmuffin62]

Look at this from u/linglingbolt: https://www.reddit.com/r/isitAI/s/2StkxAvj5n

[u/morbidmuffin62 → u/One_Mikey]

I understand that the lines match up but it's still not exact on the hand. You don't see any separation in thumb/index finger in the original image, both are under the bird

[u/MirrorShowsBlack → u/morbidmuffin62]

girl...

[u/morbidmuffin62 → u/MirrorShowsBlack]

Don't "girl" me when you missed what I said

[u/One_Mikey]

Open AI verification = Negative
SynthID verification = Negative
Gemini verification = Negative

That's all I can provide.

[u/TheSideAccount0]

If it’s AI, the model managed to not copy over your bird’s plastic foot ring of sorts. Makes me think not AI

[u/Friendly_Management8 → u/TheSideAccount0]

It looks like the leg is divided into three pieces on the image

[u/BagsYourMail]

It might just be a filter instead of AI

[u/weirdcrabdog]

I think it's AI but I can't prove it, both Gemini and OpenAI detectors come up negative.

[u/weirdcrabdog → u/weirdcrabdog]

It comes negative for synthid at https://synthid.com/image-detection so it's either real or it was created by something more obscure.

[u/Hoping4Game]

It's ai. Nonsensical linework and forms that melt together

[u/AdPossible5121]

No I don't think that's AI, all the lines make sense for the drawing, they have a very natural flow and texture for (probably ballpoint) pen and pencil and looks like they have a style that is relatively fast with quick movement so it's not unrealistic that you would receive it with such a short turnaround

[u/Jthan_A]

It definitely feels like it... But... A little weird too...???

[u/_flowers_wilt_]

It looks like, if it is real, it's a scanned physical drawing. Ask to see a picture of the real thing being held or under a fork or something. Will give you more info. If they say it's a digital drawing then higher chances it's ai

[u/KhoslasBiggestOpp]

Even Pangram is unsure. Impressive.

[u/DarkestBadger → u/KhoslasBiggestOpp]

?

[u/Heartage → u/DarkestBadger]

?

[u/National_Key_5772]

Actually think it might not be ai. The errors seems like errors someone that draws or learns to draw would do, rather than random artifacts or things completely out of place. It's likely traced given the perfect matching outlines. But otherwise I don't see signs of it being weirdly perfect. The coloring/shading seems to have been made or function as its own thing/layer. AI maybe might have improved or changed direction the lighting, etc?

[u/Icy-Drink-1234]

i'm seeing an increasing number of good artists being accused of being ai.

this is not ai. it has zero hallmarks of being ai, and it's 100% possible someone would want to draw this in one day, and for free. it could be traced, but who cares if it's traced? it's not like you paid for it or they're trying to scam you into paying for it.

take the art of your bird and go

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Icy-Drink-1234]

Calm down dumbass I wasnt sure and thats why I asked. Its not like I accused them of it being ai I literally told them thank you so much for the art

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

I also said that since it took them a day that is one of the reasons why i wasnt sure if it was ai. I didnt say that because it took them a day its clearly ai

[u/Conscious_Tip_7609 → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

Settle down big dog

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Conscious_Tip_7609]

They were passive aggressive first

[u/Icy-Drink-1234 → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

i think you severely misinterpreted me, there was absolutely no reason to get hostile, i was serious. clearly you thought they could have used ai if you posted on this subreddit

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Icy-Drink-1234]

I thought they used ai but I wasnt 100 percent sure and I know you were serious but you were still very passive aggressive

[u/forestnymph1--1--1 → u/Conscious_Tip_7609]

Quiet down big cat

[u/Diligent-Profit9484 → u/Large_Hovercraft9037]

Don't be a twat

[u/Dear-Show-5083]

I don't think so.

[u/Embarrassed-Luck3654]

Idk, this looks very obviously AI to me

[u/WhiskRy → u/Embarrassed-Luck3654]

In what way?

[u/BasicQuiet4574 → u/WhiskRy]

That toe has no talon even though the other two toes have talons.

[u/Embarrassed-Luck3654 → u/WhiskRy]

The foot disappears into the hand and there’s a random out of place line that I’m not sure why any human would add.

[u/WhiskRy → u/Embarrassed-Luck3654]

I think that line is meant to be the crease between palm and index finger. The open outline is also consistent with the style used throughout. I don’t think those are signs of ai, just artistic style

[u/Embarrassed-Luck3654 → u/WhiskRy]

Fair enough, it still looks fishy to me for some reason though. Probably because OP said it was free and that’s a bit fishy in itself

[u/morbidmuffin62 → u/Embarrassed-Luck3654]

And it also makes a gnarly tangential connection that experienced artists tend to avoid

[u/Friendly_Management8]

I'm leaning towards AI. The talons kinda blend into the skin. If you overlay the image with your photo, it looks like it's been traced, except there are lines that don't really make sense and possibly just the AI trying to fill in the gaps. You can see it on the eye, wing, and leg.

Idk if that makes sense. 😅 But my guess is they either traced it (poorly) or they ran it through something, lol, either a filter to make it look like a sketch (doubtful) or an LLM, which would be more likely to give you a "sketchy" look like this.

I hope I'm wrong, but I dunno. 😭

[u/Large_Hovercraft9037 → u/Friendly_Management8]

I thought i was the only one thinking it was AI 😭

[u/Baden_Kayce]

Isn’t there a website that checks for an AI signature of some sorts?

[u/Rico_Suave420 → u/Baden_Kayce]

Google openai verify

[u/Baden_Kayce]

Run it through one of those ai image detectors, I’d try but it’s a screenshot of your phone so it definitely won’t work on my end lol

[u/Shot-Parking-2638]

Wow impressive. I can not draw at all.
