Art feels like AI Generated

[⋆˚｡⋆ Mikka ⋆｡˚⋆]

Looking through the game files, I am starting to think art has been AI generated. I can be totally wrong, but am I the only person that noticed this?

Maybe. I just looked it up and the artist's name is Chowbie. All the art does have that AI-generated look.

Maybe it's AI-generated, or maybe AI was used to "smooth" the drawings, giving them that AI look regardless.

Yeah, I've seen plenty of generated art and even made some myself using this style. It's either a really unfortunate artstyle that's been ripped off by AI or the creator is using AI art.

I did look very closely, and I don't think it's AI. I've looked through Chowbie's pixiv and twitter and the line-art and rendering looks human made as well as super consistent throughout. There are imperfections and certain traits that don't feel like AI, imo. Unfortunately, AI is trained on a lot of anime art in a similar style, so it can be hard to tell on first (or even second) glance.

Yes, that's why I was curious and didn't jump to a conclusion. If its handmade it is truly unfortunate for Chowbie.

I think so, too. AI art is really getting crazy in terms of quality and it's harder and harder to tell it apart from legitimate artists' work.

Someone posted this tweet on the Nunholy forum that clears this up, thankfully. Chowbie was asked about using AI here (https://x.com/Chowbie_/status/1880314255033172081) and said "Graphic assets were either created by me or outsourced."

I mean, at least we're not alone in wondering lol

Hmm... I was pretty sure I remembered seeing a disclaimer in the store page saying that the images of weapons and items in the game were AI-created. But it's not there now.

I'm not sure what this means.

You can visit the artist's Pixiv & Twitter to see his works. They've looked like this well before AI generated images existed.
You may wish to do this before accusing someone's works of being AI fabricated. It's slightly insulting.

You also have artist like me who have an incredibly sketchy or in my specific case implied art style which will leave details out or have messy hands or background elements that people will think is AI. I was told my art was crap for years before I quit in high school though and a lot of other artist that have styles like this used to get flack long before AI art existed so you might not bother them as much as you would an artist like the one who worked on this game.

It's definitely something you want to be super sure about before saying anything because the cancel culture mob is rallying behind the anti-AI art mob so if you cry heretic on a real artist they will get burned at the stake for no reason.

Also, the only reason I have started getting back into art is because I found an AI model that generates art incredibly similar to how I used (the model is NOT supposed to generate art in this manner, it just happens to be capable of it with the right prompts) to draw and I am currently trying to learn how to do it digitally (I used to use paper and markers but I always though drawing tablets were awesome and bought one a while back for 3D sculpting and CAD work.) so you may also get that AI feel because an artist is using AI somewhere in their work flow or got inspired from it even if the actual final product is purely drawn by the artist themselves. Given how many models have similar styles to the one in this game, it's possible the artist might use stable diffusion to produce concept art for their pieces which can be helpful for visualizing poses and possible color pallets of what you'll be refining later.

Got this game on sale and for sure that library background is AI. Getting a refund and shame on the developer.

Just admit you're generating furry porn

Actually you aren't too far off the mark, the model was built and named specifically for it but damn near everyone uses it for anime or to make spinoff models of it to publish as their own stuff. The small handful that don't do that are either like me who found it can match specific art styles pretty well with the right prompting or are using it as intended but it seems most of those people have moved on to other models. But it absolutely can make furry porn if you want it to and it doesn't look like a deviant art post when it's done generating either.

Though I assume you are going off my profile pic which is drawn by my favorite artist, not me or AI, and I use it because I like dogs and sniping in video games so it makes for a perfect profile picture. If I was a full on furry I'd have something brighter and likely more lewd or revealing, at least going off of other profile pics I have seen.

Also haven't used the model in a while so it may have been updated since and possibly shifted towards the main audience to make even better anime art and my stuff doesn't work anymore which would suck. But I've been busy with life drawing classes and teaching photoshop so I haven't had much interest in messing around with AI art recently, might play around a bit with it in the summer.

[FizzyElf]

Actually speaking of, anyone in college? My college is pushing for AI art to be taught but the teachers don't know how to use it and the students aren't really interested in the assignments being built around them (some of which I have had to help them with because the process isn't being explained well, like "generate a good picture that is relevant to class" which while simple, that is an awful set of directions especially if the students are being harshly graded on the content of the image like they are at my school), I am wondering if this is happening elsewhere too.

AI Art is easy to spot. Character necks to long,Over rendered,to many fingers/toes,asymmetrical, inconsistency, etc.....

You know the funny thing. AI is not trained like a real human. It wasn't trained on shape theory,color theory,and human Anatomy.

Also put the images in photo shop and note how much variance there is in some AI art works pixel to pixel as if it were a collage of sticky notes or paint swatches arranged to look like one color or the intended colors, especially on higher detail artworks which wouldn't exist like that on human made digital art with a tablet or iPad. It's sort of a microscopic detail next to the others but still noticable.
