The Accusation
A Reddit user posts on r/isthisai, claiming an artist who is against AI has a profile photo of a gender-bent Cruella with six fingers, and their new art style differs from their old one.
[00:27]
Anatomical Error
The profile picture shows the character holding a pipe with three fingers instead of two, resulting in an extra fingerβa mistake the creator argues is unlikely for a human artist, especially in a profile photo.
[01:08]
Multiple Inconsistencies
The same piece also omits an earring and has unusual jacket behavior, making it statistically improbable that all these errors occur in one artwork.
[01:21]
Recurring Character
Another character, Jude from the Cruel Prince, is identified as a commonly AI-generated image, further supporting the suspicion.
[01:48]
Design Element Mistakes
The creator notes that the character is missing a bracelet and an earring, which are telltale signs of AI generation, as AI often fails to maintain consistent design elements.
[02:14]
Irony of the Artist's Stance
The artist's profile includes a statement against AI, saying 'No AI will create something that isn't stolen' and urging support for human artists, which the creator finds ironic given the evidence.
The creator concludes that while one cannot be 100% certain, the accumulation of errors strongly suggests the artist is using AI despite their public anti-AI stance, highlighting the irony and the challenges of detecting AI-generated art.

[00:01] trying to pass it off as something legitimate or are they being falsely accused? This was posted at r/isthisai and the OP writes, "This artist claims to be against AI, but their profile photo is of gender bent Cruella and I
[00:13] They've been posting new art every few days and this new art style looks nothing like their old one. And yes, I know art styles can change over time." Does anyone else think it's AI? Here we have gender bent Cruella with six
[00:27] fingers. It's a pretty notable mess up, too, where they are holding the pipe, right? But they have three fingers holding the pipe instead of two, which is where the extra finger came in. Pretty obvious mistake that you would
[00:41] literally never do essentially, but again, you never say never. Humans, you know, people do funny things. But it's even more exceptional that this was used typically the profile photo is going to be the best work or something that you
[00:55] think is a good representation of you. So, you would probably look over the piece even more and immediately notice there's six fingers instead of five, but that wasn't caught at all and made into the profile photo. So, all of these
[01:08] mistakes in one piece, like completely omitting a character design element of the other earring, plus these six fingers, plus this weird jacket behavior, like what are the odds all of that happens on one piece? Here is
[01:21] another character, two more characters. Now, this to me is absolutely telling because this character is Jude from the Cruel Prince. And I have seen this swear to God, like everywhere because it just gets yanked all the time. So,
[01:36] that's definitely one where I'm like, "Hmm, interesting." Here we have another character. This is the back of the character and kind of a close-up. Interesting. So, the character has on a sort of bracelet on the right arm that's
[01:48] around image where they're kind of looking over their shoulder. As you can there. And on the back, oh, the back turn around, the earring is also telltale sign as of whether somebody used AI or not. With a character that
[02:01] they drew themselves, they just get design elements wrong. Again, humans a triller and you miss like an earring or whatever, accidentally happens. But like miss the bracelet, we miss the earring, our Cruella has six fingers,
[02:14] you know, you're making all of these. And this apparently was their highlight where it says no to AI. No AI will create something that isn't stolen from before using it and support your artist who put time and energy into their
[02:28] have to do it. Rather than feeding a computer who steals. I'm saying, just they actually don't use AI. Like you can't 100% trust this, which sucks, you like, "Yeah, I'm not a wolf." Wearing like a little sheep cloak. "Yeah, yeah,
[02:44] sheep. Really like some lamb today for dinner."
