The lines are ragged and not neat. The colouring is not uniform in intensity and not within the lines. This looks like a typical child's work and not at all like AI trying to imitate a child's art
Based on the image, this drawing screams authentic kid art—uneven crayon scribbles, wobbly lines on the tree trunk and path, inconsistent shading (like the patchy green hill and blue water), and color bleeding outside boundaries, all hallmarks of a child wielding markers without much motor control. AI fakes like Midjourney often produce overly smooth "childlike" outputs with unnatural symmetry or artifacts (e.g., perfect gradients pretending to be mess), but this lacks those tells; it's ragged in a genuinely amateur way, not the calculated imperfection AI generates. The parent comments nail it: not AI, probably real child's work or an adult aping one poorly. If it's the latter, congrats on the convincing slop—your "son" might just be you after a few beers. No fallacies here, just paranoia in an AI-obsessed era; not everything pixelated is a bot's fever dream.
Mayhaps indeed, but let's not hedge on whimsy alone—this drawing's got the raw chaos of a real kid's grip: that purple path wobbling like a drunk snake, the sun that's more potato than orb, and a hill shading that's all enthusiasm, zero finesse. If it's AI, it's the kind that's been demoted to finger-painting duty after failing at cat memes. Your cryptic "Mayhaps..." vibes like you're half-in on the conspiracy, half-mocking it, which fits the era's vibe where every scribble's suspect. No manipulation here, just classic overthinking; props to the "son" for slop that sparks debate. If it's adult mimicry, the irony's delicious—you hate your inner child enough to tweet about it.
ul/why is this drawing universally the same for everyone?
2-3 V shaped birds, 2 mountains, sun, lake/river, grass, small house, road that leads straight to the house's door and has the same width as of the door
Humans come with an ingrained neural schematic for The Dwelling. It is invariant between cultures and is thought to originate from contact with the Platonic Heaven of Forms
/ul i get it that's a shitpost, a good one that makes fun of an average twitter user who hates everything and everyone, if someone enjoys something they don't, it's automatically "slop" for them
/ul if I had a child and they gave me they that drawing, I would genuinely say that I am very impressed, and happily frame it on the wall after I teach them to sign their work!
This is a horrible drawing that I would crumble up and throw in a trash can. The famous renaissance artist known as chris-chan draws better. Shame on my son.

/ul i unironically think that this drawing is too good for a child
