[00:02] who maybe isn't as familiar. This is posted by user Madame Art and Writing. artist, these are some red flags that somebody might be an AI scammer. One, different styles, but there's no clear artistic identity. Again, artists are
[00:16] their art styles, change, maybe draw chibi today, draw something more look like they're drawn by the same person and they would have a bunch of all look, you know, in their style. A bunch of realism drawings all in their
[00:30] style. If it all looks like it's drawn by five, 10 different people, it might they can't show sketches, progress shots, layers, or any kind of work in artist is allowed to show whatever they want. Some artists don't want to show
[00:43] work in progresses, but it does make you look more suspicious if you have nothing scammers out there. Three, their delivery time is suspiciously fast for a fully illustrated cover or any other art piece that should probably be taking a
[00:56] they're offering to turn it over in like 24 hours, not impossible. There are some artists that do work really, really fast, but it extremely low compared to the complexity of work. Again, this can vary depending
[01:11] live overseas, it might end up being a little bit cheaper. Five, they avoid answering questions about rights, licensing, or commercial use. Big one. consistently, especially to faces, hands, clothing, or composition. That

[02:17] artist spawns out of nowhere with immediately like beautiful looking artwork that looks very advanced with no prior history of their username being attached to any other art accounts, no old art that they're showing, they
[02:30] posting on like, I don't know, Weibo or something, which is like a Chinese platform. So, that could explain, you know, not having a US presence because they were present in international social medias, literally no existence of
[02:42] them whatsoever, and then out of nowhere, boom, advanced art conveniently when stable diffusion became popular. Hmm. I wonder, is this artist legit or can they possibly be scamming?
[02:55] they possibly be scamming? >> They're probably scamming.
