Are the images AI generated?
/--edit--/
I'm fairly certain they are.
What about this image makes you think it's AI generated?
The lines have inconsistent colors and have weird missing spots, which makes no sense if it was drawn, and they have a weird texture in only some spots that does not result from image compression artifacts. It also has blurring in the darker green details of the skin, like the AI didn't finish those parts.
The noise in the outlines could have just been some accidental artifact in an edge detect, But those weird ass smudges in the green definitely don't look human.
That said, the art itself doesn't look bad. If it's the difference between someone making a free game and releasing it for free where them not doing it because they suck at art, this is probably one of the least evil uses of AI I've seen in a while.
There are other issues with using AI other than laziness or lack of funds for an artist. Especially if you're using a corporate run AI, instead of a self-hosted model.
I would prefer if they just included a small bit that explains "this art was generated using X model run on Y servers" or something like that.
Totally agree, identifying it is of great importance.
Interesting, hadn't seen the edges yet. I did spot the fade on some of the dark green lines but I figured that was just some brush setting. I think I recall drawing lines like that.
The outline could be a fucky edge-detect but I'm not sure.
I wonder how long it will take before we truly can't tell anymore.
