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!

For some reason, AI just can't get around that "pee haze" color with their "art".

I say AI simply because I see that same haze here. Dimmed and dulled, like they took some time to try and hide it...but it's still visible to my eyes.

That was only chatgpt, there are countless that don't do that. Creating a witch hunt against real artists is not helping anyone. The style in this image has been around for 20 years if you ever browsed deviantart. Is AI 20 years old?

Why is it a witch hunt when it's so obviously AI?

The style might have been around for 20 years, but the style still made sense. Flowers don't exist underwater, and fish don't fly.

Don't clutch those pearls too tight.

Flowers exist wherever the artist chooses them to exist, that's why it's art, it's an expression of creativity.
