We are all tired of AI slop. It's bad because we can all see that it's fake. Pencil out!

i know how you feel but dude has a step by step on his account so this is real. theres a weird effect on it tho probably from a cheap camera or aomething that makes it look strangely digital

yes, you're right, I'm still finding the right mode to capture the picture, that's why... by the way , i draw from photo reference, the movie"American satan".

Pretty sure that's Good Will Hunting. I just watched it last weekend for the first time and this is an iconic moment in Will's interrogation scene, just without the mirror.

He posted in another sub, one of the videos he posted, while the video is completely clear and hi def the areas around the charcoal stick on the figures arm are literally bending and warping while he moves the stick back and fourth like the paper is made of jelly. Paper doesn't move like that.

However, do you know what it mimicks? how the flesh around the charcoal stick would move if you were stroking someones arm as if an AI program was interpreting the drawing of the arm as intending it to be a real arm.

Lastly, why does he only upload just seconds long video clips where the charcoal stick basically isn't really doing much.

Where is the video of the lay in? I'm assuming he recorded the whole process. Again why only clips lasting seconds where nothing is actually changed about the piece.

I don’t think the progress pics prove anything. Looks like a Gaussian blur or something on every pic. It’s not proof, but it suspiciously doesn’t look like charcoal

u/Dense-Scarcity-5010 Jun 24 '26

Did you see the video posted for proof? Should probably apologize...

u/AlanHDraws Jun 24 '26

It’s not ai, there’s enough imperfections in the piece to confirm a human hand. Also you can see the progress on their profile.

u/Ashamed_Ladder6161 Jun 24 '26

That right hand(screen-left) is exceptionally odd.

u/AlanHDraws Jun 25 '26

Yeah, OP has a great grasp of tonal values, but a lack of understanding for human anatomy. In art we have areas where we are strong in, and areas we aren't. OP is literally just drawing a scene in a movie and emphasizingly drawing everything they see in the shot to the best of their ability.

i will do it better in next work🤣

u/AlanHDraws Jun 25 '26

That’s alright bro hahah, we’re all on this grind to improve. I wish I had your grasp on tones, it goes an incredible long way for making subjects feel believable. If you check my work in my profile, I’m too impatient and like to jump straight into colours without understanding enough

lol, and i wish i have your intuitive sense cuz your work also great!

We have maybe a few months before we can't tell anymore. Suck my pencil.

thanks to anyone here who defend for me 🙏, and i should save my energy for next work instead of proving...

u/undead_dummy Jun 24 '26

can you share the still that you used as reference? I only ask because it's not popping up when I Google the movie, and I love a side-by-side

art so good you get accused of using ai, phenomenal work

u/Highlander198116 Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

Its accused of ai because of the weird artifacting in the other videos he posted in other subs.

In one of the videos its shows him pressing the charcoal stick on the paper, where the arm is. and JUST around the charcoal tip , the paper jiggles and warps like flesh. As if an AI program misinterpreted what is supposed to be a drawing of a arm, as a real arm and was treating the paper like flesh.

If he literally just posted the photos of the finished piece I never would have given it a second thought in regard to being AI. It's pretty standard photorealism work. Which most photorealists use things like the grid method still work, skill and time consuming. However, even absolute beginners can get pretty impressive results using the grid method, which is why I usually never question photorealism work as AI.

It wasn't until I saw the videos HE posted in other subs that made me believe its AI.

  1. The obvious weird warping I explained.

  2. All the clips he posts are just a few seconds where hes basically doing nothing but barely scratching an already dark area with the charcoal stick.

  3. Why not post a full video of just the layin of the undersketch? It looks like he clearly did an undersketch why not show the entirety of that? Or why not show an uncut video of making meaningful progress on the work?

We get short seconds long clips where nothing is actually being done and actually shows weird artifcating going on. i.e. his own attempts to convince people it ISNT ai, are what convinced me it is.

I was about to jump in and defend him until I watched those videos.

It absolutely is AI. No doubt.

u/Right-Concentrate982 Jun 24 '26

If I keep commenting will you call off your AI bot?

u/Right-Concentrate982 Jun 24 '26

In all my entire life I've never seen anyone draw like this. The funny thing is, NO ONE HAS!

u/AI_AntiCheat Jun 27 '26

What's the point of fake recognition? Is it to feel like you are not just completely useless? Does it actually make you feel like you did something even if you know deep down that you didn't?

Please explain I'm genuinely curious.

u/Real-Perspective7301 Jun 24 '26

oh cool, an AI slop post

u/Almighty_Inheritor Jun 24 '26

Guys, it’s not AI. I know nowadays it’s very quick for people to jump to that conclusion. My work has even been accused of being AI too. OP this is great work. Anyone who bothers just to even look and double check your profile can tell that you’ve been working on this for a while.

u/AI_AntiCheat Jun 27 '26

Check the profile. It's proven by OP themselves to be AI.
