Today, when AI painting is very popular, the means to accurately identify AI drawing has not appeared for a long time. Although mainstream illustration sites have dedicated sections for AI, no one can be sure that seemingly inconsistent works are the fault of the painter or the product of artificial intelligence.

At present, the method of distinguishing AI or not is still in the most primitive naked eye discrimination.

Just like today's AI still has many defects, the human eye has its own limits after all. Not long ago, the work painted by professional painter Ben Moran took a month to be mistaken for AI painting. After a fruitless explanation, Ben's account was banned and even unable to complain for himself.

Ben, a professional painter who has loved painting since childhood, is now the chief illustrator of an art studio in Vietnam at the age of 30. In July, Ben took the job of drawing the cover of a fantasy novel, drawing up four sketches and finishing the work called "A Muse in Warzone" after repeated modifications.

The transaction price is US $500. party A believes that this price can be regarded as a big leak at the end of December. With the consent of Party A, Ben posted his confident work on the Art section of the Reddit forum, which is a super-large forum followed by more than 22 million people. Even if only a small number of people appreciate the painting, it will bring him considerable popularity and attention.

Unfortunately, contrary to one's wishes, Ben's work was not seen by many people, because his post was quickly deleted by the administrator of the forum on the grounds of "suspected use of AI", leaving him no room for defense.

Later, Ben contacted the administrator and claimed that he did not use AI and was willing to provide PSD files that AI could not generate to prove himself, but he got a cold reply: "I don't believe you, this is obviously the style of AI painting." If you are really a painter, you need to master another style of painting quickly, because for one thing, no one wants to trust you when you say you have never used AI; second, AI can do better than you in seconds. I'm sorry, but that's the way the world is. "

After a long speech, the administrator directly used his authority to give Ben a 28-day no-speech package. In the painting circle during this period, boycotting AI has always been a hot topic, the current situation of AI flooding is obvious to all, and many painters strongly oppose these artificial intelligence "plagiarism" of their own labor. As a result, most art websites don't like AI very much, and "forbidding discussion of AI" has become a tacit rule.

The mass boycott of AI on the visual arts site ArtStation last month is still inconclusive about how to judge whether the other person's work is generated by AI. Experienced painters can tell the true from the false by observing the details of the painting, but Reddit's Art section is a huge forum, and it is impossible for administrators to carefully identify the author behind each picture in a mixed discussion session. "accidentally injuring innocent people" has become the norm on this site.

After Ben's account was blocked, netizens who knew the truth began to speak for Ben spontaneously. The administrator boycotted AI with the slogan of "guarding the purity of human art", but blatantly laughed at Ben's painstaking painting style, which made people wonder whether the purpose of this forum to ban AI was to maintain art, or was it just tired of AI's painting style.

"the administrator of the Art section accidentally hurt a painter on the grounds of using AI and asked him to 'change his painting style'."I just want to publish my work like everyone else." Ben replied in an interview, "I don't need any apologies, I just want my rights as a human artist, that's all."
