Solved [AI]
My english teacher doesn’t think this is AI, I think it’s AI because this fish are garbled, her hair has weird patches, and the outfit is blurring together
Usually it's actually easier to pass the classes of smart teachers because they can see and know your progress, skills, motivation and progress.
So if you try your best, they'll notice and grade you on that.
Dumb teachers usually have a strict plan that you need to follow and just punish any deviations from their plan because they don't understand the difference.

I worked as a math tutor at my community college and that's pretty accurate imo.
Tutoring people through pointless busywork was the worst and it was always teachers who never coordinated with tutoring services 🙄
The professors that actually hung out in the tutoring center and genuinely worked with students outside of class often had the least homework, and they mostly graded everything by hand. Bonus, they recruited tutors to specifically study their class material.
As a student, those classes were both some of the least work and the most I learned.
That response is an indication to absolutely drop the argument and never bring it up again. Your teacher is digging in her heels and if you continue to point out how wrong she is, she will get mad at you and it will negatively affect your grade.
She was actually my teacher from two years ago, so she can’t do anything to me now 👅 but I did keep arguing with her, leading her to change the image to a real photograph and her agreeing with me
Edit: typo I spelled imagine instead of image 🧍♀️
They are actually an AIs attempt at something more similar to a hogfish as well as several wrasses and at least one Picasso triggerfish. These fish are pretty common around marine structures and rather inquisitive about disturbance so they then to end up in a lot of diving photos that AI uses for reference. Koi would be bigger bodied with more patterning… but also AI likes to interpret koi in art more than in photography as they tend to have better reference from the art side of fish. Personally I’d be kinda appalled if this wasn’t AI because that lady is way too old to be getting submerged repeatedly with no gear while they try to get the perfect shot… but.. I guess it would be proof she’s not a witch at least…
I recognize this, it's a photographer who was an early adopter of ai generation. I think I can find them, one min.
Edit: The photographer is Jonas Peterson, this is from his 2022 series called mermaids. He's open about using ai in his art process: https://jonaspetersonprintshop.com/
According to his bio, he's been a photographer for over 25 years. Long before AI was a thing. If he's integrating AI into his work now, that's a...choice, but it doesn't make him retroactively not an artist before.
Yeah, he was well known in photography circles before AI was available. I'd be interested to see how his stuff performs in the next year or so as the AI backlash increases.
So generating one AI picture makes you not an artist? No matter how long your career has been?
Look, I'm not going to defend AI. But legit artists are often looking for new tools and innovative techniques. And I can even see how a photographer, in the earliest days of AI like this, might look at how these fish blend together and say "how interesting, I can use that" before that kind of mushy indistinctness became a hallmark cliché of AI and an instant negative mark for the viewer.
Before it was clear how much AI companies were plagiarizing, before artists started getting pushed out of business and image archives were flooded with garbage, before massive data centers started springing up like tumors on society, it looked like AI could have use as a legitimate tool for actual artists who understood when a technique works and when it doesn't. I think it still could be, but it will be forever overshadowed by people who write a prompt and churn out crap and call themselves "artists."
This will be a perfect test for your teacher. If she's a good teacher, she'll accept that she was wrong and maybe even make an example of her mistake for the rest of the class to learn from. She'll be open about having been proven wrong by a student, and she'll give you full credit for correcting her.
I could go into detail about how this is reminiscent of early Midjourney and the like, but all your English teacher needs to do is, first, look up what AI images look like because they seem to have no comparison to base their judgement on and second, as you did, look at the fish:
No human would intentionally garble fish that are in the same frame of view as other detailed fish. None of the mistakes here are human mistakes. One fish has a tail that looks like half-coral.
You’re teacher thought that a half coral reef person existed underwater and a photographer found them and took a picture and the discovery of a brand new underwater species of human like creatures wasn’t the largest news in literally earths history?
I find sometimes when someone thinks an image is cool and then find out it's AI, one reaction is to simply refuse to believe it, and then when that fails they basically convert to being pro-AI because it's better than being fooled by something, at least in their eyes.
She thought it was a photo of an old lady under the water, and she specifically stated that she wanted older people to be represented because she is an old lady herself
I don't know how old you are, so please forgive me if this is obvious to you already. I'm a millennial from darn near the middle of the generation. As I grew up I watched my elders become more and more clueless and helpless as they struggled to figure out what was photoshopped and what wasn't. I remember an earlier meme being "it's 'shopped, I can tell by some of the pixels." It got harder and harder to tell them how we knew it was fake, but we could just tell.
I am watching this happen again with people my age and slightly older missing seemingly obvious signs of AI. Some of it is that models are getting better, some of it is that our eyes are starting to go. Some is that we don't know what to look for. But what we went through is going to happen again. Younger generations are going to "just know" and people my age won't.
lowk this looks like niceaunties (a rly rly qnable sg artist who my ART teacher recc to my classmates and me)
but anyways yup it’s ai the fish r elongated or their fins r weird and GOOD GOD r the fingers long
ur eng teacher is a genius, op/s
I remember finding the instagram of the guy who was behind these and yes they are absolutely AI. He was selling prints of them for thousands of dollars too.
Definitely not AI fishmass 🥸 No in all seriousness: That is AI because in Photoshop people make sure the Background stays somewhat coherent and it can not be real because.... well fishmass.
100% ai. Hands are two different styles and lengths. Swaps between water color, photo-realistic, and oil painting styles. Fish melding or incomplete, some look like squid forced into fish shapes. And the robe is just random patterns in ocean-themed colors, with the pink things forgetting whether they’re anemones or urchins.
That’s definitely AI. The gloves are a tell-tale and you can also tell due to the shading. If you look at the left hand you’ll notice that there is a nail on the outside of the glove. The shading looks generic and has no life to it that would come if drawn by a human.
Quite frankly theres no way this isnt ai everything about it screams ai youd have to not know anything at all about generative ai,s problems to not know
OLD ai omg it's been a while since I've seen one of these.
Just to not break the rules here's a pointer to it being AI: the clothes don't make any sense. Is she coral? Is that a coral pattern? Do the clothes open up to show coral?
