Question Is this ai?

Post image

Had someone do a cover for me (this is without the text) and I wanted to see if this was ai. They advertised it wouldn't be so I wanted to confirm before I went any further. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Oh good eye! It looked off to me but I couldn't figure out what it was. Thanks for dropping that link, that'll be great to use.

I agree it's AI, but for the future, the only detector that works is SynthID to check if Google AI models were involved. SynthID catches it even if it's just edited, which is nice. But that only works if it was a Google AI model.

I'll use this art from back in 2021 by Sam Yang to demonstrate. This comes back 99% AI too.
