@renwillis @gbargoud @PeachMcD The problem I run into most these days though is that I can't 100% tell if something is AI if it's not the basic Computer Graphic Average From 2015 style.
There was this old painting meme going around a few days ago I just couldn't get a proper read on. I couldn't find an original and the image had certifiably been online for only few weeks.

If it was the hippo farting fire one, the actual artist was eventually found and posted there.
@gbargoud @renwillis @PeachMcD LOL it wasn't but god you have to link me to that one I'm begging you :D
It's this one (I'm not up on my art history so I can't investigate based on that). I saved the image to try edge detect, but obviously if the quality is poor enough to start with, it's not going to be conclusive
Feb 12, 2026, 3:20 PMI see a "I louvre art memes" watermark on it which could be a good place to investigate.
I think it's probably legit, putting text on an existing painting is so much easier than getting an AI generation of a painting that looks good/consistent and I expect the person who made it took the lower effort route
@gbargoud Yeah I tried looking for that and only came up with a FB group that's either a closed or no longer exists. And I would totally agree that just taking an actual painting would be the easiest, but the fact that I couldn't find anything online (I wanted to credit the original painting) just got my AI-senses tingling
Tbf, as time goes on, the worse my ai-sense gets

@Mimesatwork @renwillis @PeachMcD
That was a difficult one because the quality was too high to be AI art but the subject matter was truly ridiculous in the best ways
@gbargoud @renwillis @PeachMcD That's truly amazing! Thank you! This is what the internet is really about
