I find I can tell the really obviously AI stuff, and the really obviously NOT AI stuff, but there is a wide mid-range where I am not sure. Mostly I look for what I call "lack of logic". Like one had table legs and each one had a different weird shape that didn't make sense.
Yeah ai can’t model shape as a side effect of it’s thinking process so it makes a lot of illogical shape mistakes (too many fingers, hair turning into face, a table leg where a human leg should be) . Even a new artist is unlikely to have that kind of slip. I look for good texture, bad shape.
I am a writer, not really an artist, but even when I draw a table or something, I at least TRY for a pattern or symmetry. The AI doesn't seem to even TRY for that vs. what I think an amateur artist would do.
These are good tips, but some of these things can be in inexperienced human art. Generally with AI, I judge based on if like the hair blends into the face or clothing, or there are strange artifacts and patterns in backgrounds. Those are in almost every piece of AI art I've seen, but not human-made.
I just noticed a lot of these of posts tend to be made from a professional artist's view, when certain mistakes are definitely human, although there are ways an AI makes them that are telling. It's just easier to look for what I mentioned (I have actually drawn fingers too small on hands before 🙈)
I was looking for unicorn art and suddenly found unicorns with 2,3, even 5 horns. Or horns in the air around them. Horses and other hooved beasts are still a problem for these machine algorithms, and fantasy creatures too. Dragons can have disturbing details.
it will become increasingly more difficult to identify images made by AI even for artist. you want to look for who is the poster, is it the creator? What credibility do they have (this is important as well with images distributed as "news")

If this is advice for hiring artists, then I think the thing to do would be to find someone with a consistent portfolio who ideally shares process pictures.
Ummmm basically all of these are the most difficult aspects in art 😅😅 Hands, feet, facial symmetry, depth of field.... Those are wellknown as the most common struggles for beginner-intermediate artists. There are tons of memes about "drawing the other eye", "when you try to draw hands/feet" etc.
I disagree. They're difficult things to draw and paying, but you can tell the difference between "I struggle with hands so a couple of the fingers look wonky" and the lack of intentionality and logic in AI art. And beginner art just looks nothing like AI in general.
*To ARTISTS it's obvious... Just like how, to artists, most AI art is obvious anyway. The types of people that this image was made for aren't artists. To someone who doesn't know what that learning process looks like, a fucked-up hand is a fuck-up hand. Doesn't matter if it's from AI or inexperience
As I said in a different comment, you don't have to be an AMATEUR to have weak areas. We are human. Do you really think someone who has no experience in art would be able to tell the difference between the example hand given here, and someone who is just a bit weak at drawing hands?
I feel like spreading this information could very easily lead to extremely hostile environments/treatment towards artists who are still learning- which is the exact group people should be trying to encourage the most.
And just a PSA for non-artists: practicing art is not ONE skill. People can draw amazing eyes or noses but be terrible at drawing hands. They can be amazing at shading, but still bad at fabric folds, etc. The argument of "but if it's flawless everywhere else..." isn't valid.

But the problem is that it's not at all uncommon for real artists to, intentionally or not, draw complete nonsense.
those sound like fake unicorns
