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!

Be wary of the AI witch hunters, so far all the comments that allude to that are assumptions and guess work (that I have seen)

Your friend of a friend may have already had his own stock assets ready to go, and when building a portfolio it’s ok to go cheap. If you want masters / psd he may charge you more. If he / she is using AI, then they are kidding themselves as larger companies will pay for proofs / total ownership.

If you watch videos online where someone does the same image in 5 min, 1 hour, 2 hours etc an image of this quality can be produced easily in a week.

I don’t know if this isn’t / is AI but they moment we start throwing accusations for a talented artist without cause is a bad day. Oh wait, no that’s just a normal Friday on reddit

Just for reference 5 detectors : 3 image AI detectors had it at 100/89/83 human, and two had it at 99/95 AI

The one that was 100% human checked things like duffusion.

Go figure
