[00:02] this is a post posted by Cozy Coloring Lena. And Lena adds how to spot AI colored and AI enhanced coloring pages. And Lena is sharing like how they just want for coloring, but there have been, you know, an uproar or a rise in like AI
[00:17] Adding, you know, if you're curious about how to recognize it, please swipe information. And Lena shows some side-by-sides. Here we have like the AI super detailed textures, you know, fur, leaves, fat burger flowers, so many look
[00:30] art is simple. And then adding, you know, characters have a soft white or multi-colored glow around them even with the black outlines. Which again, like book pages, if the outlines are black, you know, you're going to sometimes
[00:43] color over the outline. It might look a little like muddy here or there. So, distinction is so clear is very interesting. But anyways, like beyond this, what is honestly just absurd to me is the fact that people are using AI to
[00:55] color coloring books. Because why? Like you literally just defeat the purpose of a coloring book. Cuz the whole point of a coloring book is for you to color it, you know, for personal enjoyment. So that you can relax a little bit. All of
[01:10] that good stuff. But if you use AI to color the coloring book or in some case, I guess you color it and then you enhance it with AI. In my opinion, purpose of doing it in the first place? Don't go generating images, but you just
[01:23] you know, some things mentioned in previous slides, it could just be like a like to add the stars and stuff. But you know, artificial strokes. You can see on artificial strokes that are not actual brush strokes from like acrylic markers
[01:37] or watercolors or anything, but just like the AI detailing. Or literally somehow the coloring book page changes. Like the cat is looking to the left in the original and now the cat is looking forward. Here like her face completely
[01:50] cheeks are different, her whole facial structure is different and her head is sad to see and it really makes you feel like we've truly lost the plot here.
