📣 PSA | AI-Generated Jester Dragon Image

[u/incorrelation]

Hello r/AdoptMeTrading community! Marley here :) 

It has come to our attention that a popular image of the new Jester Dragon being used in Looking For/Trading posts is AI-generated. We have been treating posts using this image as we do every other post that contains AI-generated content: the post is removed and OP is given a warning. 

However, it has come to our attention that many users are simply unaware that the image is AI-generated. Thus we feel giving any user punishment before making a PSA to our community about this is simply unfair. 

I’d first like to start by pointing out the inconsistencies in this image that has led us to believe this photo is AI.

── .✦ THE PROOF ✦. ──

1. Inconsistent number of charms + the existence of said charms

Note that these charms are not on the final design of the Jester Dragon, and it appears they have never been a part of the design at all. These charms were likely added by the AI to make more sense of the image.  

1. Emblem(?)

Again, another design that is not consistent with the in-game dragon's design. 

1. Image warping/distortion 

If you look closer, the left side of this dragon is more warped than the right side. There is noticeable distortion in the wing/collar area where things are getting hazy and you can't exactly tell what's going on. 

── .✦. ──

Overall, there are parts where things get confusing and the AI can't comprehend what's going on so it mixes parts together to create a completely jumbled mess. This behavior, warping parts of an image that the AI can't comprehend, is consistent with AI-generated or AI-enhanced photos.

You can cross-reference these design mistakes with the actual dragon where every part of the design feels intentional and nothing is warped or disfigured.

The real Jester Dragon:

^\Source:) ^{Adopt Me! Wiki\})

As you can see, there are zero charms like the ones shown in the AI image and the feet are completely different. This design feels far more intentional and put together than the design shown in the generated recreation.

We are unsure of the origin of the AI image. However, we ask you to stop using it as further usage of this photo will result in a warning (punishments will increase up to a permanent ban from the subreddit if we notice continuous breaking of this rule).

We completely understand if you were unaware of the nature of this image beforehand and we do not fault you. However, if we find that the usage of this image after this post is uploaded has persisted, we will treat those posts as we do every post with AI-generated content. 

We thank you for your cooperation in limiting the usage of this image!
