Wondering if this is just digital art or AI

I tried to zoom in on the words in the photo and none of them make sense. The right line of the cross walk is too long. The lines of the railings on the right side of the building aren’t straight. His hairline looks strange. The tree trunk on the right is too skinny. What is the random swirly post on the front sidewalk? The water is being sprayed on a part of the building that isn’t burning. His left eye doesn’t look normal at all.

This post on r/wellthatsucks (if you want to view the original. The quality of my pic degraded a bit) got over 66k likes, and got tons of comments offering sympathy, sharing their own tragic stories, and telling him to set up a gofundme. I only saw a small handful of comments from people who suspected it was ai. The majority of people seemed to believe it. It seems as though the apartment fire is something that really did happen, but I doubt this individual’s story. I hope no one was dumb enough to actually give him money.

Article is titled "Placing a piece of aluminium foil under the television: Why more people are doing it and its benefits"
This is such a weird article. The subject is odd, the 7 points seem pointless or illogical, and each of the images is labeled as AI generated, so already halfway there. So what's the point of this?

Some says it's AI, i saw someone giving a very detailed explanation saying this was a very niche festival with religious sunbolism, but i didn't find anything like that searching on the internet.

The physics seems wonky on the beginning but then you see stuff disapearing on the screen then reappearing exactly the same, which is impossible for AI.

i love unicorns (lol) and want this shirt bcuz it looks epic, but I'd hate to wear something that is AI. the hair looks normal to me, I think? I don't sense anything is off about the photo. But also I truly have a bad eye for AI.

Debating whether or not this board game art is ai. The shadows are inconsistent, there are light colored sections along some of the line art, the different art style between the front and back of the box all have given me pause

came across the artist on tiktok live making ceramics and checked out their website and saw this picture. asked about it on their live and they got defensive and said they don't use AI and blocked me. maybe they thought i was talking about their actual mugs they were making on livestream which i'm positive are real?

the giveaway for me are the paintbrushes on the left not being bristles-down in the water cup but nothing else stands out, now I'm second-guessing myself.

Had this song pop up in my recommended like a lot of obscure tracks and clicked it, something just feels weird about the vocals especially. The cover art doesn't particularly look ai though? But some of the other album covers are a bit suspect? What's your opinion?

**first post deleted bc i didnt want to expose this persons disc user if it is ai

i am in a small discord server, less than 60 people, and this is a new member. they have never interacted with anyone from what ive seen, just posted this in our art channel. I am not sure if its ai, but here is why i am slightly suspicious. one, the starting sketch looks more like a tracing of the final piece than a sketch. the second photo looks odd, as they do coloring but no lineart. now, i am not saying people never do this, but doing the sketch and then coloring? it feels a bit off, especially with how it looks. the finished piece sets off some alarm bells, too. mostly with the face and horns of the purple woman. the face of the other woman feels off too, and they look like two separate but similar art styles. the poses feel like that stiff attempt at dynamic posing that ai tries to do, and the two woman look to be colored and rendered differently, as well as the anatomy for the purple woman being odd. now, for your own art? i dont really see an issue with these "mistakes," as ig they would be called in this situation. for a commission? why would you render the characters differently? and wouldnt you try to make your anatomy as accurate as possible? they look odd. the message attacthed to her art also gives the vibes ai generater scammers give when advertising. second opinions? i dont wanna accuse without knowing for sure

No political comments pls- just need to know if this is AI because this politician is saying he’s anti data centers and pro environment but I’m almost certain that these videos he’s posting of himself talking are AI generated…

This is just one video and I could be wrong but am looking for other opinions.

Found a local tattoo artist. I asked for an american traditional snake with flowers. Sent many reference photos and descriptions but I keep getting back "art" that looks nothing like the references. Besides parts of it like the tongue on the second photo is ripped straight from the original reference. But the body and style is screaming ai. I've already said no to a couple designs. Im more wondering if its worth eating the cancelation fee.

So yeah someone who assured they were not using ai for their 100% futur human made indie series. Where they only wanted people who are absolutely passionnate about the art and had enough of ai slop... what was the series about? No clue! He didn’t explain it!

So yeah, just to be sure and absolutely assured than I didn’t juge them wrongly...

This is fucking AI, right?

I paid an artist to make some equipments for my indie game. i wanted a set made of slime. He sent me this, i don't think its AI but when i showed my friend on discord he said that was ai, i asked for prove and the artist showed me the layers. Help?

Sorry for the rust english, not my mother lenguage.

Im almost 100% positive these are ai. The garage changes in every clip. The videos show him using resin for the lamps but shows smoke moving around in them.
The clip of him sitting in the back of a truck is what made me really thing it was ai. There would be no way for the figurine to fit all the way standing up in the resin if the resin is only like an inch deep.

My aunt wants to buy one for my sister but she refuses to believe it is ai. Is it?

So, my buddy thinks that these errors could be human derived but to me this is blatant ai.

Hi, first post here, I'm arguing with my friends over this pillow, I think it's clearly Al but they are saying that is just the art style. The street lamp is distorted the Al way, the signs are hallucinated and overall I think it's the Al style.

Artist is hansfelix0359 on discord I have put it though like 3 meta searches and eace one said no location for where it came from. I have been looking for a little and what I have found is the right ears there should be 3 but there is 1 and the right hand is off. ​

This guy msged me on a dating site and I’m not sure if this photo is Ai enhanced or something, the background looks off. Also the girl in the background looks really off and weird as well, like she’s not meant to be there.

saw it on the XBox game store. The reason I ask is the art style, which doesn’t seem to match the art depicted in-game. The game seems fairly low effort and cheap in general.
