All very good tips, and here's one more: AI avoids too much symmetry to look more orgsnic, but that can extend to things that don't make sense, even anatomy.

That second chap's wings have joints and textures in different places, as if they were grafted from two different species. While sophisticated AI might have special algorithms for human figures and faces, it probably can't extrapolate the same logic to fantasy anatomy or beasts.

And while fantasy armor and costumes have often played with asymmetry, AI is even more gratuitous about it. Look for random ornaments, armor pieces, cuffs, or hanks of hair sticking out on one side but not the other. Pay attention to how they're attached to the rest of the body, armor, or costume:.

AI doesn't understand the functions of structure, so it will often have things sitting on or blending into other things without vidible attachments or logic.

How to Spot AI images (Hopefully)

So, I did see GailyNovelry's excellent post on this (Link here), but saw that there also were some confusion and they were using a environment image as their example, so I thought I'd do a breakdown that was more character centric.

The key thing with AI images is that the program does not know what it is making. And, arguably, they thrive on that we are currently conditioned to not really look at things for too long before we hit that engagement button and/or just scroll onwards to whatever next the algorithm feeds us.

It's hard to fight that urge, I know, but if you just pause and look, you'll soon start spotting things that just do not make sense, and I don't just mean that the pretty booby elven fighter is sporting seven fingers on one hand. Those are the obvious things. I'll try to cover the general sort of artefacts that tend to tip me off to the fact that a image is generated rather than actually hand-made by someone making informed design decisions as opposed to trust what amounts to RNG. I think this is important as there's those who do not tag their images as AI generated, and try to scam people with commissions.

And, as the saying goes... The devil is in the details.

To start with I picked this image from deviantuser CeiEllem. At first glance, it looks... very impressive. Sharp looking elf lady with killer hair. 10/10 wish I could rock that haircolour.

But, it is AI generated. Aside from the general tell that is this hyper rendered, near photorealistic style that AI images often have, there's a lot of details that tips it off to just not having been made by a human who actually made the decisions.

Since AI is just working off patterns and not actual decisions, things like hair is a immediate giveaway that you're looking at a AI image.

(Deviantart users: daralyth, DavidZarn and lunayokai)

In all these three images you can see just how hair whisps off into weird nonsense shapes or even meld into the background or clothing. Because, again, the AI doesn't know what its doing, just working with shapes. Similarly, background elements that just stop and start randomly is a dead giveaway, like the tail in the first image.

As I've said, details is the key to spotting these images, and another giveaway is the sheer density of details that is just noise.

This is from users Rigtorok7, and the details are so noisy, absolutely miniscule in scale, and hypersharp, yet have no actual design to them. Artists imply details all the time. We don't render out every single nook and crevice, and since we actually know what we want the viewer to look at, we'll pull back and simplify things so you don't want to look at the big chunk of very noisy hair ornament or necklace instead of the face of the character.

For comparison, this is how it looks when I, personally, indulge in doing 'overdetailing' of something (because I am forever weak for painting jewelry).

BUT I want to stress that the key here isn't that detailing equals AI generated. The key is the lack of design choices IN the details. There's a lot of artists out there, and someone painting out all those nooks and crannies in something doesn't mean they are a AI user. This painting by Leighton is super detailed but you see the intent with all the details. You have a focus with the people in the boat and secondary read of the figure in the door, where the details are a lot more implied and less sharp.

AI can't do that, because AI isn't making any decisions.

I couldn't find any good example once I went looking, but if you're into fantasy art: look for people just holding weird 'swords'.

AI is rapidly evolving, so who knows how much this'll help in 3 months, but for now, this is how I spot things.

But, in the end, the biggest giveaway that someone is using an AI generator is that they've filled up page after page on deviantart/artstation/wherever in the past like... six to nine months, and often swing between wildly different styles. If you're unsure, look up the source of a image. Another clue can be generic 'untitled' or just 'elf lady' sort of titles, since someone uploading 30 images a week isn't going to make unique titles for each image.

Also, commissioners. ... you should ALWAYS get a sketch and progress image from a artist that you hire. My art directors would have my head on a plate if I didn't send them a rough sketch and progress shot before finalising the image.

So this latest Pap walk was clearly scheduled and everyone knew photographers would be there. I’m curious why Seb was signing autographs for professional autograph seekers when he refused to sign autographs for professional autograph seekers in London a short while back?? / yah it look so plan, like one person wait for them, and why aw is waiting there to like she wait for her turn to give autograph. And its like maybe 1 or 3 people usually when people know celeb will be somehere its much more people. But it was only couple of pap and 1 fan, and suprisingly they only pop up on this from many his la interviews that he manage to not be seen after. Yeah orgsnic😂. And on the vid you see he dont even look st aw he ask emily if she is fine, he hold the door for her but dont interact.

This pap thing remind me the one aw did in 2022 https://youtu.be/shbozyx2anU?si=bVZQE70zhdvxTZO- its like the same script couple pap and just 2 duys waitimg for a pic with aw on empyt street(i neber saw rhis pic to be honest) really plan thing same as this one

Highkey tired of people saying "where's the Jasper redemption arc? Peridot and Lapis got reedeemed. Why not Jasper?!? Why didn't she join the crystal gems and fight the diamonds?!?!?"

Y'all wanna know what's different between these three characters? Cause I can tell you what's different between these three characters.

Let's analyze all three of their actions early on in the series first. Pre Cluster arc.

What did Lapis do wrong? Stealing the ocean and attacking the gems is the big one. So why'd she do it? She'd just been imprisoned in solitude for thousands of years, which is by all definitions, torture. The gems wanted to put her back in the prison and let her rot there. She was terrified and desperate to get home and get away from the gems. She immediately agreed to let the ocean go when Steven healed her gem, and she later covered for the Crystal Gems and Steven when they were coming back in the hand ship. After that Lapis and Jasper both disappeared into the ocean.

So what did Peridot do? She tried to reactivate the kindergarten first off. But the thing about that is she didn't understand what she was doing. She thought in her own words, that it was "formless, lifeless energy being channeled into new, useful gems." Peridot had never been to earth. She'd never seen the life it held. She didn't understand what the Crystal Gems were protecting. And she tried to squish Steven, but it's debatable weather she was actually trying to kill him or just poof him to get him out of her way. She hardly ever initiated the conflicts she had with the gems. After jailbreak she was a rather passive villain, with the crystal gems trying to stop her from getting home rather than her making any moves to hurt them. She only resorted to outright facing the gems of her own accord and kidnapping Steven when she was sure the cluster would emerge at any time and terrified for her own life.

Then there's Jasper. In her very first appearance she ordered for the gems to be killed, she tried to take them to homeworld (reminder that the gems were never threatened so clearly before that. Lapis and Peridot didn't want anything to do with the Crystal gems, and only got tangled up with the gems because they had conflicting motivations that weren't meant to involve the gems at all. Jasper's motivation WAS to hurt the crystal gems.). Jasper even showed threatening and violent behaviors towards both Peridot and Lapis during this time while neither of them had been cruel to their ally's by any stretch of the imagination. Jasper then grabbed Lapis out of the rubble while she was trying to fly away. I won't say Lapis didn't do anything wrong in their fusion. But it says something that Lapis was the one who tried to run and Jasper was the one who grabbed her (remember, Jasper wasn't nice about it. She grabbed Lapis. She demanded they fuse. Maybe she didn't actually force Lapis to do anything, but it's clear she was the aggressor.)

Now, here's the thing. Before the cluster arc, who had the most demand for a redemption arc? Lapis, though many didn't even see the need to redeem her. Aftee that was Peridot (and Peri was second by a large margin), and then Jasper. So now let's look into why Jasper was so far behind the other two in popularity.

It all comes down to how the characters were set up. Lapis was always trying to flee. She was victimized from the start. Her trauma was always very clear and all she wanted was to go home. She helped the Crystal gems by sending them warnings and she covered for Steven in Jailbreak. Not to mention that she was put in a damn cell by Jasper. All of these leave her appearing very vulnerable and put her in what appeared to be the best position to turn to the side of good.

Peridot was much more of a villain, but look at how she was as an antagonist. She never initiated conflict, it was always the crystal gems who went after her. Peridot always gave off the sense that she didn't know any more than Steven or any of the viewers did when it came to the lore of the show (questioning who the crystal gems are, not knowing what a human is, not understanding why the gems wanted go bresk her stuff), and she never showed any desire to hurt or fight the gems. She just wanted them out of her way so she could do her job. After Jailbreak she was especially unthreatening. While her being loose on earth gave potential for her to be a bigger antagonist, I felt almost bad for her. She only tried to get home. She never launched an attack on the gems. The only time she even came close is when she set a trap for them in Friend Ship, and that was only after countless incidents of them preventing her from getting home. By all means, that was kinda Peridot's only option. They were determined to keep her from going home. Probably to poof and bubble her. Peridot was an antagonist in the sense that she opposed the Crystal Gems, but she was never antagonistic. And that's why her redemption was so believable.

Then there's Jasper. She was alwaus fighting, her main goals were to hurt the gems, she knew about the war and the planet and everything Garnet and Pearl did that the audience didn't. Jasper couldn't be excused as ignorant or unhostile. She wasn't either of those things. She was a threat and the only big one at the time. She hated the gems. Even when in Malachite she was fighting to hurt Steven. She constantly insulted and belittled the gems. Long into Peridot and Lapis being protagonists, she still fought the gems. The fact that she was motivated by hatred for Rose and the gems, combined by the fact that she launched attack after attack without prompting? She was an antagonist in a way Peri and Lapis just weren't.

Finally, why does redeeming Peridot and Lapis work while reedeeming Jasper just..wouldn't?

What was Lapis's motivation throughout everything? Freedom. Control over her life. That's what she wanted throughout the entire series. Her villain motivation was her desperation to get home and away from the place she'd been imprisoned. Her redemption focused around showing her that Earth really is the place she can be most free. As a protagonist, she fights for that. As she said, "if they're going to treat me like a crystal gem, I may as well be one." Lapis was fighting the Diamonds because she was fighting her own persecution. She was fighting for her ability to be free and escape the constant prisons she was put in, weather by others or by her own fears. She finally made up her mind. She stopped running. She took a stand for something and set herself free. It's the natural way for her story to go. Have a character whose been imprisoned most of her life? Set her free and see what she does with it. Have a character whose spent most of her episodes afraid and indecisive? Her character arc obviously leads to a decision, one way or the other. Have a character who always runs? Whose been fleeing since day one? Whose always thought it better to sit submissively than to fight back? Have her finally decide to stand and fight. That's her natural storyline. That's where Lapis has been going since day one. That's why it works. She still has her issues and her flaws. But her storyline puts her firmly on the side of good.

Peridot was an antagonist too. Why? She saw the world in black and white. She didn't understand the use of orgsnic life. She didn't understand love or emotion. It was very black and white thinking. And what did they do with her? They showed her the gray of the spectrum. They gave her friendship and showed her the beauty of earth. And her rule driven brain had to adjust. She struggled a lot with replacing her worldview, but when you have such an ignorant character, especially one with such a will to learn new things..educating them is the way you go about it. She relies on logic and reasoning. Destroying a planet with such a vibrant ecosystem isn't logical. Yellow Diamond's black and white thinking wasn't logical. Peridot is a sciency nerd. Science people always look for new data and adapt acordingly. Peridot adapting to the new information she was given as she learned...of course she turned to the side of good.

But Jasper. What was she motivated by? A need to avenge Pink Diamond? A dictator who the leader of the Crystal Gems supposedly shattered? Her loyalty to a system our protagonists were actively fighting against? Her place in a war that she fought on the opposition to all of our hero's?!? Her bigotry, not stemming from ignorance, but from her own full beleif that she was right?!? Her hatred for our protagonists? Tell me, which of these aspects should we play off for our redemption arc? When her motivation is her deeply ingrained loyalty to everything our hero's stand against, what is there to redeem? The only path for her arc was eventual self destruction. Maybe now that the truth came out she can have an arc of improvement. But before Diamond Days there wasn't any option for her.

So yeah, it kinda annoys me that people overlook character motivations and such for the sake of "Jasper's hot thooo" or "imagine protective cheetoh mom ❤🌈⭐🌼" and then try to paint it as an actual criticism of the shiw that they didn't put her on the Crystal Gem's side. Guess what, if you're that into the idea of Jasper switching sides somehow and throwing all her motivations, her violence, her hatred for the gems, her bigotry, her loyalty to the diamonds, and her pride in fighting a war against the Crystal Gems out the window, then you don't actually like Jasper, you just want a hot buff character with whatever personality you wish Jasper had instead of the one she actually does. And that's on you.
