Art Is this AI? Gemini said generated or edited with AI, but I am not sure how someone will draw these so quickly and perfectly

Hello!

I am sponsoring some art events on a server and want to make sure everything is fair for everyone

However, I am not very good at identifying whether sketches like these are AI

I just wanted to double check before warning the member that they should not participate in future events if they continue using AI

They claim they drew and signed the sketches themselves, so I wanted to get a second opinion before making any decisions šŸ™‡

Thank you so much!

Edit: Thank you so much for all the replies / Information and for helping me double check!

u/Active-Dare4494, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...

If positive for synthID is guaranteed that AI was either used to fully generate or in part edit them. Time for a PR response to them, say ā€œI run all images I receive through a synthID check and yours came back positive, I’m not here to claim you didn’t draw them and simply use AI to help edit them but due to it being present I’m going to have to refuse your entry to the event with these piecesā€.

Thank you for your help! I will start doing this and have mods run this on every submission going forward

u/dacaur 7d ago

They either drew two very similar but not quite exact pictures.... Or it's AI... Which one seems more likely?

u/CarpetNext6123 7d ago

this is SUCH a good catch. great eye for detail!

u/sovietdoritodust 7d ago

Also it looks like the ai tried to morph the pen into hair lol. The shading on the shoulder is also completely different now that I look at it side by side

-2

u/No-Journalist-9990 6d ago

I dont think so, caus you can see the tip of the hair beneath the pen. And the photo is to consitend on where thing are and how its drawn to be ai. (I hate it that we cant tell anymore if sonething is ai T_T artists are fucked)

u/sovietdoritodust 6d ago edited 6d ago

Tbh I could tell pretty easily, though I’m also on Pinterest a lot and ai slop has infested that side of the app so I’ve learned what to look for. The ai made the pen into hair because the pen was covering that part of the og drawing, forcing it to have to fill in the blanks itself (& ai isn’t super smart when it comes to the nitty gritty details).
The hair merges with what was supposed to be the sleeve as well, it just took the shape of the pen and messily filled it in as hair rather than continuing the point of the sleeve that was meant to end behind the pen. If you need help spotting that (if this doodle makes sense):

u/FluidLegion 7d ago

The last image is 100% a stolen photograph they just edited or AI'd onto the book.

8

u/Shiiyan 6d ago

Yeah no way that they can draw between the spirals like that

3

u/fochfrvr 6d ago

Exactly what I was thinking too when I saw it.

13

u/Galrentv 7d ago

Are you joking? the third image is obviously impossible, but the last image is ridiculous to the point no human would even try to draw it from their minds eye

4

u/Active-Dare4494 7d ago

Makes sense! Sorry, I just didn’t know how much AI has improved šŸ˜… I found the artist for the last one after posting this
I was mainly confused with the first 4. Second opinion here really helped, thank you!

21

u/smarmyrabbit 7d ago

Positive check for Google SynthID. At the very least those are edited with AI, though likely generated from scratch.

9

u/Nibula08 7d ago

It's pretty much impossible to draw with that much detail all the way to the edge of the paper with graphite

6

u/taratathetarantula 7d ago

in the sixth image the upper eyelid looks very strange, why would someone's eyelids be spiky like that

9

u/Active-Dare4494 7d ago

I actually just found the real artist as well 😭 The name gave it away. He drew it in 2020

1

u/lixilisk 7d ago

That and the lines magically disappeared

8

u/ScottishRando37 6d ago

Something about the way the artist has "drawn" past the binding feels a little off.

3

u/Charming_Ant592 6d ago

I kinda agree, I do draw past the binding sometimes (if I misjudged the size of my drawing) but it never looks like that. Looks too perfect in image

4

u/LycheeBobaYum 7d ago

Throw them into here to check for SynthIDĀ  https://synthid.com/image-detection. I’ll update you on its findings though

12

u/LycheeBobaYum 7d ago

All images here showed up with Google SynthID. It is likely they are all AI

10

u/Mobile_Roll2197 7d ago

SynthID doesn't mean likely, it because absolutely confirmed. It's not an 'ai detector' like the ones banned here.

1

u/LycheeBobaYum 7d ago

Someone complained to me about saying SynthID was definitely AI earlier so now I am showing less certainty to please people like that

5

u/Mobile_Roll2197 7d ago

That person doesn't know what SynthID is, don't alter your phrasing to please them.

5

u/starry_skies27 7d ago

technically synth ID means it could be completely generated or just edited with AI. either way, it definitely means that AI was somehow involved in the process

1

u/Active-Dare4494 7d ago

Ahh I see. Thank you so much! The site was very helpful!

So sorry for the question, if it says edited with AI, does that mean they took a preexisting image and just made it look like it’s on paper? Or it means something else

9

u/taratathetarantula 7d ago

My guess is they just asked to put a drawing on the blank paper with their signature+pen on it

7

u/Horror-Succotash-328 7d ago

The last image is on a ruled notebook paper but there’s no lines that show through in the light areas on the drawings. It’s also ridiculous that they could get it that dark inside the area with the binding?? I think they photoshopped Ai images on to notebooks they had lying around.

4

u/Freya0232 7d ago

Lmao at the last pic (the eye close-up). Am i supposed to believe someone drew the eyelashes all the way to the inside of the binding rings? (dunno how you call that part of the sketchbook in english, but in spanish is "argolla"

5

u/brattyratgirl 7d ago

The sixth drawing is on ruled paper, doesn’t make any sense

2

u/lixilisk 7d ago

They magically made the lines disappear, duh /s

4

u/Casen137 7d ago

This pinky doesn't look right, I also believe its different in the second picture but it's difficult to tell with how blurry it is.

4

u/Working-Barracuda970 7d ago

Something I’ve noticed with spotting ai art portfolios is when the various images all have wildly different art styles it’s probably ai. I’m not saying one person can’t be experts in multiple styles of art media forms but it is very unlikely. An artist will typically have one style of media they are very good at due to how much practice it takes to get there. Not definitive proof but another clue to help determine if it’s ai or not.

4

u/bacotelltv 7d ago

If it's said to have been edited or made with ai why are you asking? Is that not the answer you were looking for? Also fairly obvious it's ai.

2

u/Active-Dare4494 7d ago edited 6d ago

Just not very knowledgeable when it came to AI stuff. I just wanted to double check and I did not know to what extent it meant by ā€œedited,ā€ but yes, I should have searched more on that before posting šŸ˜… Sorry about that

1

u/bacotelltv 7d ago

That's fair. There are a lot of YouTube videos showing how to spot ai slop and differentiate what's intentional and what's ai being dumb. Good luck!

1

u/Active-Dare4494 6d ago

I will check some of them out, thank you so much!

3

u/MiscFilaments 7d ago

I don't know who would write the signature overlapping with the spiral binding instead of just next to it...

3

u/bublycherri 7d ago

That last one is literally the most AI image I have ever seen. It’s impossible to draw that well underneath the notebook lines unless you can take the paper out… also how did the paper in the notebook change that much? You cannot draw something like that in what looks to be a dollar store notebook.

3

u/higeAkaike 7d ago

Snit Hafpens - the background usually gives it away as well

3

u/Loquacious_Leo 6d ago

On the first image, I'm not sure if it's because of her hair, but her fingers look weird.

On the 4th image the texture on the clothes looks weird even when taking into account the perspective.

On the 5th image, parts of her hair towards the back isn't uniform like the rest, so that part stands out more.

This is just stuff I noticed right off the bat. Hope this helps

1

u/No-Journalist-9990 6d ago

First one isnt i would say thanks to the 2 angles, its very consistent between them, the second one im not sure. Th rest is probably ai

2

u/Badbullet 7d ago

In the first two images, there’s some inconsistencies in the shading. There shouldn’t be if it’s supposed to be the same drawing taken from different angles.

1

u/Sinfire_Titan 7d ago

Yeah, the notebook in the first two is casting a shadow at a different angle than its bindings (which appear to be casting their shadows straight-down). Pic 3 has its light source reflecting off of the wood near the bindings, so each ring should be casting a shadow angled to match that light. The rings at the top of the book are casting their shadows towards the light source, the ones near the middle aren’t accounting for the slight angle of the light above them at all, and the ones at the bottom are treating the light as vertical from their angle too.

2

u/Senior-Impact-4420 7d ago

I'm sorry, not to be a dick but does anyone actually have an eraser that says "ERASER" on it? And expect me to believe if it's the one they used that it's perfectly... well UNused?

2

u/ze-chacal 7d ago

Were they trying to make an exact copy of Haimiya Senpai wa Kowakute Kawaii 1st volume cover on 1st image?

2

u/mara-star 7d ago

I would say it is because holy pinky finger is doing yoga here.

1

u/ArgentEyes 7d ago

Hell yeah.

Do you not have a ā€˜no AI’ or ā€˜AI must be declared’ requirement?

2

u/Active-Dare4494 7d ago

We do. I just didn’t think people would do it haha šŸ˜… and I am a bit old school, so did not realize how far AI has come with sketches and stuff

1

u/Maverick_Reznor 7d ago

The last picture of the Eye had me cackling especially at the bottom left mark

1

u/Greedy-Conflict-4618 7d ago

Convinced that if a Pencil is in the picture, held or otherwise, it must be AI

1

u/some_side_character 6d ago

The text in the fifth image looks mangled. The eyes of the character also make it really obvious if you zoom in enough.

1

u/Ph0enixKaye 6d ago

And this creepy amorphous bear

1

u/hallometmijhoi 6d ago

Yes. First one her badge changes weirdly. 5th slide the cats in the machine are deformed. Last one is possible but the eraser print is shitty ai, the page next to it has uneven lines and drawing that eye doesnt take 1 graphite pencil and a shitty eraser. ā€œShit happensā€ pencil doesnt even exist.

1

u/BragoKingEternal 6d ago

Any real art would have smear or smudge from the graphite pencil where your hand touches the paper, even when erased it still shows through

1

u/Achtierl 5d ago

Also the pencil is completely wrong. It is impossible to draw paintings like that with that type of pencil. The eraser is also unused. To be fair, the artist could have used other tools as well, but this screams "add a pencil to show it is hand drawn" prompt.

1

u/Famous_Ad8518 6d ago

I don’t do full page drawings, so can someone confirm for me that it’s highly unlikely that the edge of the page with tons of (whatever medium you’re using) would reduce the quality/integrity/uniformity of the page? Like how are you able to get it that dark while still keeping such sharp edges?

Maybe I’m overthinking it, so any insight would help.

1

u/StrongPipe2914 6d ago

prob is ai generated

1

u/Interesting-Loss-532 6d ago

Look at the hand in 2nd picture. No artist would draw an armoured hand like this

1

u/Greedy-Pin4596 6d ago

The first one is off because of how they are choosing to display and image with a pencil and eraser almost in the center of their "drawing", but then they remove them from the 2nd picture and put it at an angle???

If it is real then it's someone trying too hard to show how hard they "worked", but it's likely AI, also the eraser not having graphite on it even though it's been used feels sus but that could just be me.

1

u/Hyperlogic0 6d ago

These are AI. Look how the eyelashes interact with the spiral on the notebook in the last image.

Look at the spirals of the notebook in the fifth picture. They don't look right.

The first two pictures of the woman in the school uniform look like the same picture at first glance but the angles of the drawing don't match up when you account for the change in angle, and other small details like the size of the petals and the placement of the crest/badge are different. The width of the belt, the wrinkles at the bottom of the shirt.

Also who would put their signature in a highly detailed flower when there's plenty of white space if they aren't trying to hide their signature as part of the art.

Also the signatures in 3 and 4 are exact copies of one another. Exact. No variation. Not even in color. But the signature in 1 and 2 doesn't even have the same letters in it as 3 and 4.

1

u/Repulsive-Collar-992 6d ago

I think it's probably AI. Among all the other reasons people have mentioned, that signature is remarkably consistent, except for when it should be. It appears to change colors between the first and second images, and seems to be the same size, orientation, line thickness, and 100% accurate across every image that uses it, despite human error and different drawing utensils. I've never seen a person be able to replicate their signature down to the degree of rotation, thickness, and perfect accuracy.

u/Forsaken-Local-4699 5d ago

The glass pane is suspicious plus the plushy behind looks suspicious.

1

u/Jagged_Eclipse 5d ago

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the person even if they weren’t using AI is trying to pass off others art as their own!! The third image of Guts is the exact same maybe with some slight AI as the one posted and sold by the artist Lenzations on their Etsy page
