Pls am I just too blind or can I genuinely not see what part looks ai… (Reading the comments, I'm glad someone also pointed it out earlier lol.) I even zoomed in on the name tags on their uniforms, eyes, etc., and they’re consistent each panel.. Plus, this honestly just looks like the average art from a straight hentai manhwa, which I’ve been seeing for as long as I gooned. Still though, if it really is AI, that’s just one more reason to hate on it. And if it’s not… welllll it’s still trash so go on. (I kinda just wanted to talk just to talk)
It's hard to explain but when you've seen a lot of AI-generated content you get good at spotting the obvious stuff. I literally spent months in a community dedicated specifically to spotting if something was AI generated. As soon as I saw the first panel of this comic, I could tell it was AI, and the rest of the art confirmed it for me. I was surprised (but relieved) when I checked the comments and saw that other people had realized as well. Wish I could give you a proper answer, but it's purely pattern recognition.
I could immediately tell the clouds on the first page where AI. Something to do with how regular and invariable the projections are as well as how they're shaded. Shading has a lot to do with it. A lot of AI-generated manhwa-style content does shading in a specific way, especially hair and skin. Expressions are also off at the micro level (you'll notice gazes going in a direction that is just slightly off base from what you'd expect). There is a weird mix of expressiveness and stiffness. Look at the panel where the girl is walking through. Notice that the boy at the left is looking surprised, but he isn't even looking at HER (the dialogue attempts to compensate for this). On the same panel, she straight up looks like she was pasted from a different manhwa entirely. Additionally, you'll notice that there are very obvious stylistic and color differences between each panel that a human author with this level of skill (and thus, practice drawing in the same style over and over) would never make. There are many other signs, but I feel like they'd be too subtle to make sense to you without more experience in differentiating between human and AI-generated content - over time, you realize it's not really one little thing being off, but the collective, that gives it away
peak art as always
