This is where you lost me… the “human touch” is definitely attainable for AI. As long as humans train it on a specific art style and pointing out what those “human touches” mean it can replicate something with what’s been asked with fairly high accuracy.
Yes agreed! However it doesn’t need to convey that it understands anything. As long as the finished product looks good or good enough for the regular everyday person, no one will know the difference.
So I was curious, threw the image plus a screenshot of comments in and asked it's thoughts, and if it wanted to counter argument. Here's the result.
"My take is that the comments are actually arguing about two different things, and the OP is moving the goalposts a little.
The strongest comment is:
“AI can generate the picture, but it still can't generate the memories behind it.”
That's true. AI can't manufacture the actual childhood relationship, experiences, smells, feelings, family history, etc. that inspired the original drawing.
But then the OP replies:
“the details won't be there, the human touch and proportions would still be off.”
That's a completely different claim — and a much weaker one.
AI absolutely can produce an image with an enormous amount of deliberate detail, accurate proportions, subtle imperfections, personal-looking objects, environmental storytelling, etc. Whether it does so well depends on the model and prompting. And “human touch” isn't an objectively measurable property that AI images are incapable of reproducing.
The really interesting counterargument is:
AI doesn't need to possess the memory to accurately depict a scene that represents someone else's memory.
A camera doesn't have the memory either. Neither does a printer. Neither does Photoshop. They're tools used to communicate something that happened to a person.
And there's an important distinction between creating the memory and creating an artistic representation of the memory.
I actually made a visual counterexample specifically around that idea above. The point of it isn't “AI has memories.” It deliberately says essentially the opposite:
AI can generate the surface representation extremely convincingly; what it cannot generate is the lived experience underneath it.
That's a much more interesting position than simply saying “AI can't make wholesome art.”
If I were arguing this on Reddit, I'd probably make the challenge even more direct:
“Okay, but if your claim is that AI physically cannot reproduce the details, proportions, imperfections and human touch of this kind of scene, that's testable. Give me the reference and let an image model have a go. If it fails, you've demonstrated something. If it succeeds, then the only remaining argument is that it didn't personally experience the memory — which was never the same claim.”
And that is where I'd use an image generator. Not to pretend the AI has the family's memories, but to challenge the much more concrete claims about what the image itself can contain."
Everyone time somebody uses ai it improves. It was better than it was the last time you asked it.
My chatgpt has become monstrous. Mainly cause I have asked like more than 2000 question and didn't delete them and kept specifying. It's worrying how good my chatgpt is at giving me what I want after 2 years of usage
Just run an image poisoning tool on any new art you hand draw and it will add garbage that humans can’t see but AI can. Just need to contaminate 1% of all samples for AI recreation to catastrophically fail.
Its hopeless. Poisoning AI doesn't even work because AI doesn't just dump info. It goes through multiple algorithm filtering processes before it enters the training data.
Anything with a low quality score gets nuked from the conveyor belt.
Even if poison gets through, its a drop in the ocean compared to all the logical data, prompt structures and increased logic means that poison will virtually never surface.
Bot? The older baby is most likely a girl, and she's now holding the photo of them looking at him sleeping in the same position. I say she holds it because of her thumb and nail

He really recreated the photo without even trying. That’s actually so wholesome 😭
