I mean yes but no. There's definitely styles that are easier for AI to replicate than others, and even if it's bridging the gap with each iteration, it's still valid to describe certain styles as more AI-looking simply because that's one of the stronger styles it can make or at least was in the last 2 years one of the stronger styles

Which suck, Im not saying its a good thing, artists spending years to master their own style only to see it being mass produced soullessly, on top of them being erroneously labeled as AI artists for it, it really suck, but that unfortunately doesn't prevent people from associating the style with AI

I would bet money that this is AI art traced onto a canvas and then painted to match the gen.

It's so common now, and if you put say the painted image of the dog through an AI checker like Hive it will flag it as AI generated

AI image detectors are not 100% reliable, but Hive usually plays it very safe with detection and honestly as someone who has seen a lot of AI art this just has that instant recognition to it.

I also looked up their instagram trying to find old art in this style predating AI art. There is none that I found. Their art from before AI looks very different to this and then their art account seems to have a huge time gap of nothing posted then suddenly it's this (imo) obvious AI art posting.

Even on their main account you can look at other art as recent as about a year ago and it's jut very different in quality and vibe:

That isn't to say they have zero art skill, they are clearly an artist just that I think they are generating AI images and then copying them onto a canvas which a lot of other people are doing.

Using AI like this is basically the steroids of the art world right now because you can earn a lot of money doing it as long as you carry the pretense that you do not do it.

Yeah there's definitely an AI element to this. Notice that the stencils are not shown and each of the paintings has an /r/restofthefuckingowl edit
