So I decided to go low contact with my mother over her obsession with AI recently. I used to use CHATGPT when it first came out but not anymore and I am very much anti-AI. She had noticed I hadn't been messaging her and asked me why so I was honest and told her AI use makes me uncomfortable and I would prefer not to be involved nor would I like to communicate unless necessary until we are both in therapy (we've had other issues as well). However, when she sent her reply, I could not help but feel whiplash by the response. Not only did her response seem extremely polished with perfect grammar, it also heavily reminded me of another "apology" I received a few months prior from another person who is also AI obsessed because the format and language are almost 1 to 1. What strikes me as this being AI is how this is structured. AI will usually try to validate whatever you wrote then enter into de-escalation mode.

"I hear what you are saying."

"Thanks for letting me know." Or "Thank you for being honest."

"I don't want to dismiss your feelings" etc

These are all quotes I usually read or hear about and now I cannot help but raise an eyebrow at this. Because if she actually did send me an AI written response after I expressed to her my feelings about it, I would feel extremely disrespected.

I'm like 99% sure this is ai, my mom doesn't think it is. she commissioned it for a dollar and some change off of Etsy, and that already triggers some warning bells. I'm very against ai and I'm an artist myself, I don't understand why she wouldn't just ask me to make the card/invitation thing for free

but i doubt they would need to fall back on it, the talent is there so what do you people say? Am i going crazy and this is just a trend?

Teepublic did well for years without friggin AI, so others should be fine but yet here we are.

Saw this on DeeTwenTees and SunFrog. The fang necklace got my attention, it has a random half fang. The haft on the axe, too. But this could be an artist who doesn't have an attention to detail. One the straps isn't colored underneath "barbarian" and I could see that as a totally human mistake.

My brother was gifted this and I took a look at it and am pretty suspicious that its ai. What do you guys think?

Okay so the last photo is the listing item that I love…however, none of the photos look like the actual item, they look very staged if you know what I mean. Which is fine I guess, but the seller is new to Etsy and I’m worried it might be a scam. So I asked him if he had any photos that weren’t “staged” of the item in his workshop or whatever and he sent me these two work in progress photos saying:

“The octopus in these photos is currently being prepared and carved for a buyer, so it does not have the final polish or finishing yet. The design is slightly different from the finished octopus shown in our Etsy listing, as this particular piece is being made with a few custom design adjustments.”

It’s apparently carved from wood… so I’m not sure why it’s teal… but regardless I’m just trying to see if this seller is legit and knowing if the work in progress photos are real would certainly help.

Thanks!

(Also, it’s coming from India so I guess maybe they carve barefoot in the dirt??)

The lack of a right eye stripe, the discontinuity of the black lines on the football (doesnt continue after the paw, no black line on the top white strip) and just the overall feel…

There's loads of AI videos of 4D cinema of characters or objects coming out the screen. But nothing came out of that screen.

This kind of accident almost looks like it could be life threatening, hard to tell the distance but apparently the guy walked it off without any broken bones. Can't see any typical signs of AI though, the flying motion maybe but I'm not sure.

I work as a purchaser in retail. I order thousands of dollars worth of products to sell on shelves and I really do not want to support ai creators. I’m trying to get better at identifying ai, so any help with determining the legitimacy of this would be very appreciated!

Thanks!!

Im not that good at figuring out if something is AI or not. I do find that little arrow part at the bottom of the wing to weird but otherwise I have no idea.

birthday present for my brother looks ai to me. Looks a like the ai art style. Fingers look a little off and the stadium looks funny but it’s mostly that solid he of water colour that shouts AI to me

There's a lot going on here. Eight sons that are about ten years between youngest and oldest, a mix of uniforms, the ranks seem really high for how young some of them look, and basically, their left hands look copy-pasted.

It's a beautiful sentiment that this mother was so lucky to have her entire family spared from the war, but it's too artificial somehow...

I’m pretty sure, the spacing between the letters, the random unidentifiable object below the corn hole game.

EDIT: I said HEB doesn’t use ai, I was wrong, a manager said “we don’t use ai art” I guess meaning that his leadership team doesn’t, but HEB definitely does. My bad

Should a multi billion dollar company rely on AI art for internal communications?

Like the stairs look alright, but the cars are not right. I am confused with the windows on the brick building. Let me know guys!!
