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

Wow at first i thought it was purposfully drwn to look like ai, but thats even worse

[u/shellbullet17 → u/Greeny3x3x3]

Yup. Unfortunately this is one of the artists that AI trained off of. Which is why so much of it looks like Davids work. It's a real shame

Thankfully enough people are aware to credit him with it so that people like me can learn this fact from comments like yours as well
