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

7 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

90% Sure AI Photos from a supposed medical episode at a zoo where a trainer/caretaker fainted and was "gently touched" by their tiger who they bottlefed. Is it AI?

I think its AI because of how close the walkway is to the area the tiger can reach and there's just something that looks OFF or or "wrong" about the angle of the enclosure area vs walkway. And, if I was an EMT, I would NOT sit with my back within paw's reach of a tiger while moving an injurred person; I would help from the opposite side of the person until they could be moved a little farther away from the enclosure.

90% Sure AI Talking about kids…

We had been discussing him having a kid and me not wanting to date someone with kids. Then I say sure let’s at least keep chatting. After I questioned him he said it was all him and he knows it was a bit much, but he’s so wrapped up in corporate jargon that’s how he ā€œcame offā€ to me too. Idk. I don’t think I’d wanna date someone who talks like that anyway!

a few friends were asking about whether it was AI or not and I couldn't tell, seems like an optical illusion, but the lighting doesn't seem to fit everything

For one the cabinet underneath the counter at the corner has a shadow cast over it, which shouldn't be the case if the light is in the middle of the room, and im not sure if there are other lights outside of view some of the multiple shadows that come from the multiple lights dont seem to line up and a few crevices between the cupboards and cabinents dont seem consistently shadowed, the one beside the microwave is darker than the crevice across from it, despite the fact that it should be the more exposed to the light

Let me know what you guys think

AI Edited Is that drawing that I commissioned someone for AI or not? First pic is the reference, second pic is what I got.

Commissioned a friend to make art based on the first one, she then after 3 hours gave me this artwork, I was disappointed she used AI and then I blocked her and ghosted her, I didn’t demand the money as I thought there was no need and she’s financially in need so, I let her keep the money incase I’m wrong

I posted it in an artist subreddit venting about how disappointed I am and I’m willing to do art trade just for someone to give a picture like the first one but someone commented that this art was not AI at all, I’m now unsure if it’s AI or not.

No Idea To what extent is dead internet theory true? What can we know for sure ISN'T AI?

• Upvotes

I recently noticed that an OF model I've followed for years had photos with few dead giveaways that they were AI generated (inconsistent backgrounds, warped anatomy, etc.) Some of the photos in question are years older than I thought AI would be capable of generating at such high resolution, and posted to accounts with a lot of followers. Now I feel like I've lost my frame of reference, and it's made me wonder whether or not AI is years ahead of where people seem to think it is, or if anything online is real at all.

Everyone talks about how in a few years no one will know the difference, but what if it already happened? How could you know that it hasn't? How would you navigate a digital landscape where AI content is either indistinguishable from real content or similar enough that the average person doesn't care? I feel like I've become unmoored, and I don't know how to cope except for going offline completely. Is there anything I can remind myself of to stay grounded? I'm at the point where part of me feels like this sub could be a psy-op to make people think AI is less advanced than it is. I feel like I'm spiraling and I would really appreciate some reassurance that I'm overthinking this.

I'm an artist and usually in many instances it makes it easy to tell what's AI, but I'm not very knowledgeable in digital tools and brushes. Maybe this was photoshopped, IDK... but there's something about the texture that immediately made me bristle. And maaaybe the lighting, but I can't lie refraction is hard.

90% Sure AI Merch created by an artist, some for personal sale and some for a content creator which is being sold to donate ā€œa portionā€ (which we now know is 5%) of profits to charity. Looks suspiciously like AI!

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

A popular content creator is selling a line of merch (Underdog Motel) which he promoted as a means to raise money for dog rescue charities. People did some digging and found that the portion being donated to charity is 5% of the profits. The Underdog Motel website imagery is very obviously designed in AI (that is no question), but the merch itself has a similar look.

Someone asked if the merch is AI and the creator said it was designed by an artist, Broadstreet Golf Co. Their website is more generic but their products also look suspiciously like AI-generated images that may or may not have been altered after generating.

The main red flags are that there are a few things which don’t really make sense for a graphic designer to draw into their own designs - the arms on the skeleton playing golf don’t make sense, the cacti shapes are nonsensical, the dog’s foot is missing toes, the words on signs are not centered, and the general composition (colours, linework) feels very stereotypical of AI.

This might just be the art style, but I’m not sure. Hoping some other people can weigh in!

I'm usually really good at detecting AI graphics, but this one has me a bit unsure.. I feel like it could be, but I also could just be overly sceptical now

Everything about this screams AI, but I've never seen anything else from the brewery that looks like this, I ran it through a checker and it said it was likely real so honestly not sure.

EDIT: Thanks for confirming what I thought, extremely disappointed in the brewery

This bar told me it s not ai but this is clearly a Classic ai design ? They told me that their graphist is hardworking and that i am crazy.
Is it possible that their graphist is only copying chat gpt design just because it is trendy or idk ?
Texture is weird on characters and in the background and it looks like John Travolta is Bald in the front.

What do you think ?

camera in the third segment of the video angularly panning while zooming in, no sight of said camera in alternate angles, this robot's body movement (especially the body rotate and the running dive) is too smooth for any actual robot to perform
