AI Art - Finger counting continues


My petty little campaign against the onslaught of AI art, primarily in the Colouring Books community, continues (see previous blog here). With the hashtag #CountTheFingers, I seem to spot daily a new effort that's passing itself off as the creator's own art, but is obviously AI. Above we see a lion who has five fingers, but also a camel toe!


This ogre was among a collection that was the closest to comicbook line art I've seen yet. AI art usually struggles to produce pure outline, favouring greys and shadows. But this guy had nailed the look of Marvel comics art, until you counted the fingers.


This example takes today's stupid prize. This cute little Pixie has the right number of fingers alright. But somehow the 'artist' has failed to notice that she has a right hand on her left arm. Below is the full image to show it in context.


Here are more recent examples culled from Colouring Book posts. I realise I am, once more, playing the part of Old Man Shouting At Clouds, and that the progress of AI art will continue until every actual artist has been replaced. But until then, well this is a fun thing to have made a record of.
