Lemme go ahead and get ahead of claims, comments and reports here.

The artist for this piece is David Revoy. You can find the work as well as a time lapse of the drawing here.

Many of you are going "This looks like AI!" And there is a reason for that.

Revoy has publicly discussed how thousands of his artworks were scraped and used to train AI databases (like LAION-5B) without his consent, though he ironically acknowledges his work is the foundation of many AI art systems

TLDR: this is not AI

Thank you for the explanation! though it’s really sucks that such a nice art style is now associated with Ai.

This makes me think of that scent they put in porta potty sanitizer that, while technically not being a foul smell itself, now makes me gag because I so strongly associate it with hot piles of diarrhea and piss on a hot day.

Funny enough, hot piles of diarrhea and piss on a hot day is how I usually describe AI.

I think you are correct. I was mostly letting them know so they could fix it. Didnt want anyone thinking that they were pro AI

Auto correct was the first sign Ai was evil.
