[@wheelsndealz]

the language they use sounds deliberate. when it's something hand drawn he goes into detail. when it's obviously hand drawn they call it "my art". when it's ai, it's just that cookie cutter, "check out this beautiful piece of art...etc"

[@Oozaru85]

Maybe they did this because they have been accused of using AI. So they showed these hand drawn pieces and explained how they did them, so people would stop bothering them. I mean, its obvious the other pieces are digital. The few they went into detail with were all done traditionally. probs as proof that they are doing hand made, not AI made, lol. Tho these traditionally done pieces look like a beginners work compared to the digital ones. Thats whats the huge give-away for me.

[@LinnaV]

Probably trying to dodge a false advertising lawsuit/charge

[@SalviAlmighty]

Small note on 18:22 : That's not the Hylian Shield. Breath of the Wild and (in this artpiece) Tears of the Kingdom have a "durability" mecanic where your weapons will break/run out of stamina for a while. There's many different weapons to hoard in your inventory and switch at will. The shield pictured here is called the "Old Wooden Shield", and actually looks pretty similar in game. It also makes sense to have it here since it's an early-game shield.

[@missm0ka]

ok yeah that's what I was thinking. It did feel like the opinion of somebody who only has brief knowledge of the game, which she did say was the case.

[@SonaArtist]

Yeah, i've played the game on and off for how ever long now and i was like "No, i believe you can get a shield like that."

[@katliente]

got it!! my 5 minutes of my friend's breath of the wild when we waited for our korean food didn't give me enough context for this so thank you!

[@asya-35987]

​@@katlientewhat was ur order :0

[@ettaetta439]

On the note of "you don't owe people an explanation", people don't owe you trust either. If these "artists" are unwilling to show their art processes, then people don't have to believe their claims that they're not using AI. This goes both ways, even for legitimiate artists. Yeah, it can feel bad to be accused of doing AI, but posting a single video addressing it and showing proof is enough for most legitimate artists and is not a big deal at all, so whenever people kick up a huge fuss about it, they become suspicious by default.

[@Voixsu]

Ai Art gets more engagement; I've considered talking about this on my channel. Some do buy followers, but many just have an audience of people who like to look at "pretty pictures". The best way to combat AI "art" is to call it out and support real artist who spend hours on their craft, but controversy is more important in the community than supporting small artist, so AI will continue to outpace us on these platforms.

[@IxiaRayne]

Yeah bc AI is able to provide the quantity of pieces to fully stimulate the algorithm → more exposure → more followers

[@TheMetalValkyrie]

@@IxiaRayne Often times people don't look at a picture anymore for a length of time, so everything is bad faking quality for a like and having quality to back it up and learn the current algorithms. Trying to make it big as an artist on social media no longer works. You have to go to places that are about art and not mindless stuff for mindless people and bots. We may have to make out own conventions, meet ups and places too

[@Natu-Shabby]

Uggghghhhh, truly a bad time to be a legit artist and have severe social anxiety :( I work so much worse when someone is watching or if I'm recording myself in some way.

Auto record timelapse in csp and u will forget its even on. As someone diagnosed with social anxiety, trust me any anxiety you might initially feel should go away fairly quickly.

For the Zelda one (nerd stitch incoming) the shield is from Tears of the Kingdom. It’s called the “Old Wooden Shield”. The second shield is the “Hunter’s Shield” from Breath of the Wild. It could still be AI, but I hope this helps give a little more context as to why the shields are different than just the “Hylian Shield” (the blue one)!

With how high pressure social media is now, I have RARELY if ever met an artist that doesn't show some form of their process. Whether its lives, sketchbook tours, painting process, speed paints, etc. Almost every artist shows their work. I show the process of my paintings but its small parts of each element (my work is also traditional so that helps). I've used some elements that could look like ai so I understand the frustration and confusion. Thats why you work with those people even if its annoying. Its only going to be made worse by being defiant instead of filming a 30 second video. 😬

[@Noellight]

I blocked them a while back, glad people are finally talking about this

[@Tenshii_Artii]

With the AI art that these guys are making. I Wouldn't be surprised if the 'hand-drawn' looking ones are pictures they actually just directly traced over. Also probably just a coincidence. But when the guy isn't saying 'CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ARTWORK' He's just looking off to the side and having trouble speaking. I hope to God that this isn't him literally reading from a script. Otherwise that's just a new low. But one trait that personally becomes a giveaway that it could be AI art, is the specific similarity of some of these pieces. like the glimpse of the girl in the greenhouse at 15:01. I don't have much knowledge about how these AI generators work. But when I look at pieces like that, instantly I thought that there must be some kind of specific prompts that these guys entered. The same prompts, but of course the AI would spit out different variations of that piece.

[@samamies88]

when he looks to side it almost looks like he is watching a monitor to make sure the piece is still in frame. He seemed to do that always when he zoomed in or out. I just am not sure why that monitor (or script) isn't behind camera.. why is it on side... ?

[@ciixcoin]

imagine selling AI art via video but when you go to the website it's actually their real art. I mean this is a good marketing Target but this can also have bad backlash just trying to get some service to sell their art.

[@SubsOfTheUniverse]

I'm a realistic artist and I'm not ai but since I'm autistic, my rendering is all over the place, and I'm assumed as an ai artist. Even with my time-lapse people still think I'm ai. It sucks because my art style is so realistic they think it's ai. It sucks that talented artists like me are ridiculed for our amazing art

[@NoahtheGameplayer]

15:20 to be fair it cost money because of it being shipped, and its a canvas of that art

[@miss2000varietyshow]

I like that he took the time to explain the real pieces that look like minimal-effort sketchbook outlines that they didn't bother to even finish because they lost interest. Things that you should not be selling. All they need to do is put in a little more effort. Maybe they felt like that's the best they can do and got discouraged. That's what those real sketches look like. It's very juvenile, too. Like they know they can draw a little, but don't take themselves seriously enough to get better than middle school anime sketches but still think the crap is worth money because it's better than what the average person can do by hand. I understand being discouraged, but you have to push yourself.

[@SeriousArtistry]

THANK YOU!!! I’ve been working hard to expose him!

[@DEKILL_official]

Boba; just basic brown sugar milk tea or maybe the occasional taro. Always black or white tea, never green. I don't really like matcha or the fruity ones (the fruity ones are -- fine iguess but I prefer my boba to not taste like soda or something).

[@solokarrot]

What's even worse is some of the Zelda pieces are actual art from real artists fed into Ai to look all smeared and blurry. I recognize the Garden of Joy one as a fanart by Mochiwei. They stole her work for sure.

My favourite boba flavour is: grape green tea with strawberry fruit boba balls

[@sparta311]

20:00 so... Zeld BOTW and TOTK both are more servivle exploration games and do have moteple shealeds you can give link to use with any one handed sword you can find. but no the rests of the piece look... off. they more than likely did use AI.

[@PrincipeGlory]

U know, i think they made a loophole by saying "buy MY ART" cus if ppl sue them after purchasing, they can say "i didnt say i MADE IT specifically" or if ppl say they used ai art, they can say that they didnt specify that THEY DIDNT. They got this piece out of prompt. So people cant say theyre lying neither cus they just didnt say much to begin with.

Honestly I think use ai as reference for an idea that pop in my head. I then use the image to hire artists.

[@froggycolouring]

That first shield you said didn’t exist in game is actually the “old wooden shield” from Tears of the Kingdom, but it looks a bit off (there’s supposed to be 4 triangles in the top row and 3 in the bottom row below the eye design, but this image seems to be missing the bottom row??) yet it’s not _too_ far from the actual game I think the multiple sword blades because the Ai couldn’t find where to put the sword is also an indicator tho lol

[@jaydealpha4002]

With the rise of AI, I now document my progress and sketch traditionally consistently.

[@tigerstripedsinger]

I have to say the clearly human made pieces have an inconsistency in skill that screams copied too

[@Mstemp08-eb2jh]

There are actually HUNDREDS of AI anime gooner accounts on Twitter rn with almost indistinguishable AI (All with 10-200k+ followers). They all have Patreon and Booth accounts and just one random one I saw had to be making quarter to half million a year. It's going to be really really bad. Right now it's only obvious lazy AI is getting caught. People don't realize a lot of stuff they think is obviously Human made is also AI.

[@Kave-sx6gq]

though I agree with the link ones being ai, as a botw fan although the hylian shield (the blue shield) is the most know throughout the game you can collect other different types of shields on your journey so it could be possible the ai was referencing some other shields you can collect or it just fully butchered it like you said. Besides that great informative video!

Its always really sad to see more and more artists or at least people with artistic possibilities rely more on AI. Like i get it, its annoying when your understanding and art perspective is different than your skill level but it does eventually balance out. Which i partially feel like is a decent part/reasoning a lot of artists are going to AI, which is sad. For anyone who doesn't know about the graph im talking about, look up Art Perspective vs Skill graph. As for fave Boba, i get "Love potion" from Boba tea company. Which sadly is like the only boba place near me when i go to the mall.

I just wanna bring up a point that can do more harm than good when it comes to differentiating AI users from actual artists! I don't really agree with the statement that artists usually specialize in either feminine or masculine characters, or backgrounds etc. This could be taken out of context and be used to point fingers in the wrong direction. Professional artists and illustrators have a level of mastery over a variety of subjects because that's their *job*. And there's many, many of them - just as an example look up any MTG artist.
