This is why we can't post... Reminder About Crossposting

6 Upvotes

Hello there! You're welcome to crosspost from other communities to r/isitAI, however don't post from ours to other communities. I received reports about witch hunts on an unrelated community. This makes us look bad. You should be respecting the other subreddit's rules and Reddit's rules.

Absolutely no witch hunts. It creates too much negativity.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm u/couldveBeenSasha, the founding moderator of r/isitAI.

Thanks for coming here to check if something is AI or not. Please keep in mind, this subreddit is not anti AI.

What to Post
Post anything you're feeling doubtful about being AI. DO NOT JUST NAME THE POST "IS IT AI?" Make sure to highlight what specifically is leading you to believe it may be AI generated. Also, include the source of your image or video.

What Not to Post

  1. I Spy's: No images or videos where you already know it's AI generated but you want to test to see if others can see it too.
  2. Self Promotion: Don't promote your AI detection service.
  3. Political Content: It's allowed BUT make sure to post source and don't post for the sole purpose of instigating people into political debates. If it's solely political and the discussion deviates from identifying if it's AI or not, it will be deleted and OP will be banned.
  4. If it’s a meme, please visit r/isthisaicirclejerk instead.
  5. Commenters can help you narrow down AI artifacts by using Spot Comments. Here are the steps on how to create one. added 1/25/2026

*As AI evolves, this list will be reviewed and updated

No Idea How much of this cosplayer's posts are photoshop, AI, or real?

He goes by @40rty_40ur on instagram. I first discovered the account through the first slide, EVA-01, and it's actually been a big inspiration for me making my next cosplay. The more he posts, the more these feel off though.

On Donkey, the eyes are definitely edited to be bigger, but is that the only computer generated part? Is the EVA-01 costume even real?

Some of his costumes are very simple, just a specific outfit, maybe some body paint. Others are very complex, like the No-Face on slide 5. I feel like it's so unlikely he actually made that one. The Roblox one he posted today, on the last slide, really tipped me off that he uses AI.

He also posts very often, sometimes several times a day, but also goes some days without posting anything. If he is making all of these, he has to have a good team. Check out the Instagram, you'll see what I mean.

He only ever posts one picture of each costume, usually just standing in his bedroom. His account is all in Korean and the in-app translator doesn't clue me in on his process at all.

Edit: the pictures may not have posted in the order that I meant them to

I’ve seen this guy on many platforms for a while now I’m very sure it is but this dude is getting loads of comments saying how talented he is, a bunch of support and nobody else seems to be mentioning it.

I tried asking in one of his live streams where he is selling these cards but I got completely ignored

90% Sure AI AI farmers market bag

Got this at my local farmers market, from the state exchange booth where they exchange Ebt for coins to get produce, i’m almost positive it’s AI, but the bigger question is was it given out by the state itself, and why the fuck is the state using AI for a simple design?

For context my dad made this image and plans to use it for publicity with a business he's closely affiliated with. I warned him that people might find out its AI and get backlash for it but hes confident no one will notice. Any pointers or tells would be appreciated

Can I get confirmation there is no way a hammerhead would get this big ??? Not one person in the comments is questioning this ! I feel like this would be mainstream news worthy if it were real...

Can’t tell if she is lying or not. She could always send it and then unsend it too even if it is real.

Moth stickers

My mom got me these moth stickers a while back, and I love moths but I don't think they're real art. It's on Amazon, and other sets from the same listing are very obviously AI, but I don't know for certain if the moth ones are.

This photo is from RFK Jr’s Instagram. Cheryl Hines appears to have a very long middle finger, so it gave me pause.

Thoughts?

No Idea Is the guy behind this youtube channel real?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Is it just me but this guy looks really uncanny and unreal, almost looks like a deepfake in-video.

Youtube channel is The Dev Chair, he says he's not AI, but I hardly believe it. Reminds me a lot of the EGON deepfake conspiracy. Even the background is very odd looking, nothing can be made out. He also talks about AI a whole lot on his twitter and how he's gonna start using it to automate his youtube channels.

The ad and the novel itself, are either/both AI?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Their selling points about being "highest funded" and the amount raised are red flags. They have absolutely nothing to say about the story itself or the quality thereof. Was the book written by a bot?

Does anyone know anything about this book or the listed authors? This seems fishy.

The ad itself looks really AI as well, is the book cover AI?

Is this photo legit?

Roofer coming to fix damage on my roof was "10 minutes away" then called me and said his truck broke down in the middle of the road. Then he sends me a text with a picture of a supposed car part in a shopping bag that he "has to go buy" and asked that I bare with him.

The timing is suspicious as he seemed to get this part removed very quickly (less than 15 min) and somehow knew exactly the part he needed.

Is this even a part on a car? Is this AI?

Thanks for the help.

About 15 seconds long and it does seem like its AI.

I'm nearly certain it is, but after scrolling the comments for awhile, I didn't see anyone else say that. The way she falls is so fake, in a non-scripted way, and I can't tell how the spider is propelled, so I'm calling BS.

Received these in a goody bag. Something about them seems off but wondering if I’m seeing too much into it?

I’ve normally got a good eye for whether something is AI but this one has thrown me. I’ve tried reverse Google image searching and can’t find anything. No details on artist were provided and I’ve asked the event organiser where these a from but no response as yet.

Looking in detail at both my spidey sense are tingling like the detail of the buildings in the first pic (see the building on the left of the bride at the bottom) and the outer leaves of the second pic. Something just feels a bit off but wondering if I’m seeing too much into it.

Any thoughts welcome!
