I'm trying to school myself on some stuff.
I'll add some links talking about this but I'm also inquiring for your feedback. Cheers.

Pretty much all articles are saying the same, I don't want to use software if I don't have to
Also this came up in related search and it's kinda over my head: https://ai-alignment.com/can-we-efficiently-distinguish-different-mechanisms-690abcc0fba9 is it related? I dunno
I'll keep looking but it's sparse. I would be interested in new search platforms if you have some. Primarily using presearch.org right now.
Edit: so we use AI to tell us about AI? Are we sure they won't lie? I don't buy... https://www.inkey.ai/blog/revolutionizing-content-authenticity-inkey-unveils-its-groundbreaking-ai-detector-tool
in the beginning it was pretty easy because pictures would have obvious artifacts. these artifacts could include perfectly rendered extra fingers, broken elbows, or otherwise disjointed body parts. AI image generation would confidently render something incorrect with huge attention to detail.
nowadays, especially with Dalle, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish them. certain AI will still have certain artifacts if you look close enough, but you will need to have a huge attention to detail. different image generators also have different styles, so if an image lines up with a particular image generator style there is a good chance that it was AI generated.
I thought the weird fingers and extra limbs made AI art cool.
No real artists would try to slip in a 3rd arm.
Surrealists would like a word.
